India has a long term plan to annex Bangladesh in a way or other in future.

[Bilal9]

Relax Dude ! No one is claiming that anyone wants to annex India, the OP says India wants to annex Bangladesh!! Glad you agree, no sane country would want to take on an extra impoverished 200 million with no natural resources. It's a silly thread, more sane would be starting one on Voldermort annexing Nepal!

I'm not going to get into a pissing contest with you, it's obvious your knowledge about poverty across the subcontinent is very low, so let me educate you about poverty in India.

In spite of what the idiots at the local Shakha told you Bangladesh fares much better than India in alleviating poverty and providing opportunity for the less privileged. This is because instead of spouting theories about it -we actually did things in Bangladesh to help poor people. We don't have the 'don't give a shit' disease and 'chalta hai' attitude that upper castes and banya classes have in India regarding poor people. These human qualities (helping your fellow human) seem to have gone lost in Indiaover the years. The bad habits of oppressing lower and schedule castes in India learnt over Millenia are hard to let go by the Upper castes and Brahmins.

Indians come to Bangladesh to learn how to alleviate poverty, enough said.

Try to do something about effed up situations and poverty in India first - before pointing out other countries.

8 Indian states = 25 African nations: Oxford study on poverty

There are 1.6 billion people living in multidimensional poverty across the world and nearly 440 million of them are in eight large Indian states, according to a new analysis using a unique index developed at the University of Oxford.

The eight Indian states that have similar number of poor as in 25 African countries are Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Odisha, Rajasthan and West Bengal. The poorest region in south Asia is Bihar, the analysis states.

In 2010, the Oxford analysis had concluded that there were more poor in India than in sub-Saharan Africa. Its 2014 analysis said the largest number of people classified as ‘destitute’ among developing countries was in India.

Sabina Alkire, director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, told Hindustan Times on Thursday that the least poor Indian states according to the global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) in 2015 remained the same as in the 2010 analysis.

They are: Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Mizoram, Goa and Delhi.

The 2015 analysis is based on the last available data from India, Alkire said, and added that as per poverty estimation of seven south Asian countries, Afghanistan is the poorest, followed by India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka.

“Our measure of destitution, which identifies a subset of poor people as destitute if they experience a number of extreme deprivations like severe malnutrition, losing two children, having all primary-aged school children out of school, and using open defecation,” she said.

The destitution results for South Asia “are significant”, Alkire said. Afghanistan has the highest rate of destitution of 38%, followed by India at a “troubling” 28.5% (over 340 million people).

“But interestingly Bangladesh has much lower rate of destitution than either Nepal or Pakistan, showing that the country has alleviated the worst forms of deprivations,” she added.

“As the UN prepares to adopt 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) this September, which will determine the development agenda for the next 15 years, our findings serve as a powerful reminder of the extent of poverty reduction challenge ahead and the need for an energetic and coordinated response,” Alkire said.

The MPI is unique in capturing the simultaneous disadvantages experienced by poor people, such as malnutrition, education and sanitation, to provide a high-resolution lens on their lives. If people are deprived in one-third or more of ten (weighted) indicators, they are identified as MPI-poor.

"Chalta hai" is such a reckless state of mind.

Why did you have to call that wind jammed guy in this thread!!Now he will come here and start farting continuously,btw he also knows that Kashmir technically belongs to Pakiland

True, but what I want to know is how did Pakiland manage to retain the 3/4 considering Ganga Gandhi Gandooland has nearly 7 times the manpower?


Hey does that mean one Pakilander equals seven Gandoolanders?

Well done Bangladesh, well done. This no minor achievement. A measure of country is not if it is spitting on Mars but how it treats it's extreme poor - the destitute. Also I am impressed by this study. This appears to very thorough and scientific.

India of course comes at the bottom. While the head is near Mars the feet are in Africa.

India needs to set it's priorities right, lower its defence/mars/superpower budget and follow BD's lead in improving HDIs, especially those affecting women.

We don't bury our infant girls, rape incidents are less prevalent, young girls have free access to primary and secondary school education and fertility rate has dropped to 2.3, just a bit above replacement level. Is India willing to learn and take a detour to its superpower dreams?

Ludicrous proposal....If India were to annex BD, they would have done in 1971.

Couple of things here, First I think you guy's were absolutely right in breaking away from Pakistan. I only wish it had been done in the manner that British do things. Have a look at how they left British India. Music, flags and salutes.

Second thing. I am jealous how you guys have managed to build a secular edifice. Bravo to you guys. Please do not ever let the Mullah or Islamist near power. Or it will be road to perdition.

Third thing. The real job of a state is physical and economic well being of citizens. Rest of it is just smokescreen by the elite to screw the poor. You guy's have got that right as can be seen in how your indicators starting from basketcase standards are now near or overtaking Pakistan.

Fourth thing. If all this keeps up Bangladesh might be South asia's success story. Two decades ago I would have laughed that off but now I can see that possibility.

Fifth thing. Whatthe hell is differance between a lunghi and dhoti that I keep reading about in PDF?

Finally I saw the most prettiest girl I have seen this year coming out of a Bangali food store. her crushing stare almost caused me to have a accident couple of days ago. I only wish I was two decades younger then even if I crashed I could have asked her for help. Every time I picture you I shall think of her

True that!!! Back in '09, PDF was professional ... now a work of all kinds of fiction. The whole thread had me in splits and your post was the only one sane enough to merit the tag of an 'insight' especially the point regarding the 'Bengali Beauty'. True that ... lol

Who the hell cares about HDIs. India will invest more and more in infrastructure, defense, space programs and new technologies. India wants to next China and not Bangladesh. I believe when one has robust economy, HDIs or other such factors will automatically improve. Each of us have different priorities and good luck with yours.

I only wish we had been created as separate countries to begin with. The 2 nation theory was absurd and many Bengali elites initially rejected the idea, including politicians like Suhrawardy. For an analogy, it's like forcing Greeks into an union with Russia because they're both Orthodox Christians!

Second thing. I am jealous how you guys have managed to build a secular edifice. Bravo to you guys. Please do not ever let the Mullah or Islamist near power. Or it will be road to perdition.

Never, not until hell freezes over!! Salafism (i.e. Arabo-slavism) has no place in BD society. Some British NRBs piss me off - I hope they never return.

Third thing. The real job of a state is physical and economic well being of citizens. Rest of it is just smokescreen by the elite to screw the poor.

Exactly!

Fourth thing. If all this keeps up Bangladesh might be South asia's success story.

Wish the same for Pakistan. For a country that developed the bomb on its own, you can certainly turn things around with the same resolve!

Fifth thing. Whatthe hell is differance between a lunghi and dhoti that I keep reading about in PDF?

These are outer-garment worn by men to cover their private parts. Apparently, Bangalis on each side believe the ones on the other side look funny in their traditional attire, lol.

Please don't stare at pretty Bangali girls while taking the crosswalk.

Sorry to rain on your party.
But how can you picture a guy @Maira La as a girl??? That's weird!!!

On topic:
The title of this thread and its contents got me laughing.
If ever India annexes any country then it would be Nepal- BD doesn't make sense. Albeit a lot of Hindus from both BD and Nepal get married to Indians to get Indian passport. It's high time India secured its borders.

I didn't know if you were joking

Atanz did say he almost crashed so he must've been driving...

On a bit more serious note, I strongly believe if all countries of South Asia gave up their spending on arms today, they would become at least second to first world economies in less than a decade.
