India grants duty-free entry to all BD goods

Doesn't matter how well it's doing at the moment. Dictatorship, monarchy and dynastic politics are detrimental in the long term, because once a particular group gets too powerful, liberty and free speech takes a hit. Economic downfall follows. Think of the "Gaddafi model" in Libya. It wasn't sustainable in the long term, but many in the middle east would not mind calling him the Messiah.

I can keep on arguing, but wait till the end of 2013 and kindly keep an eye on BD news channels. Now that AL abolished the caretaker system, introduced electronic voting and imposed stronger gov control on the election commission, all hell's going to break lose, I'm afraid.

Thanks for that,if only all BD members are calm as you are while pontificating their views.Although I think you are being unfair by drawing parallels with Libya and the fact remains that unlike India and Pakistan,Bangladesh can concentrate on economic restructuring without the fear of external aggression.So take it and make the most of it regardless of the internal politics.You will always find India on your side,that should be more than enough.
 
Sarcasm aside, MMS is in a totally different league. Basically, Indian politicians > BD politicians > Pk politicians. But we all have our own share of rotten apples. Khaleda is no better than Hasina, even though BD had the highest ever GDP growth back in 2006 I guess. We achieved that growth despite the political turmoil, not because of their (politicians) effort.

Well that is what even we thought. But Hasina is way more shrewd than MMS. So I am not joking. You can have him.

Sonia Gandhi is okay actually. Humble and well behaved. But being "Italian" is definitely a -1 for her, and that's understandable. But oh well, that's a different topic. :D

You can have her too.

Hey, let's swap our leaders! :D

You can have Hasina. Optional with free of charge! :D

I wouldn't agree to this deal. Look at our cabinet ministers. They may be corrupt, but they are extraordinarily educated and intellectual people you can find in any cabinet. Like Chidambaram - Harvard MBA, Kapil Sibal - Harvard Law, Manmohan - Cambridge PHD, Jairam Ramesh - MIT etc. India garners so much respect through these ministers.
