You guys seriously have to visit NE. Do mention that you are Bangladeshi's and you will see the reaction. Rest assured, it wont be pretty. The locals are damn pi$$ed that Bangladeshi's are taking away the low paying jobs completely. This is ESPECIALLY true in Assam.

They wont understand Malay ..I don't know where these guys got this idea that Northeastern people love Bangladeshis ..I think too much Anti India venom make these people blind

It's is not just Anti-India venom ,it is anti-Hindu venom. The anti-India venom is just a manifestation of their deep rooted Anti-Hindu venom.
 
I am from Uttarakhand and mostly uttarakhandi likes nepalies than other people of india (compare to some states of india not all india). Because of cultural and language similarity but we do not hate other's indian, it's all about liking but when talking about country then always "Mera bharat mahan"
 
why are we asking Bangladesh to invest anyways? more than half their population doesn't get anything to eat. instead , we are the ones that keep on giving aid to them
IndiaDaily - India’s 150 million dollar aid offer to modernize Bangladesh rail – an excellent political and fiscal move!
Just stop giving them aid and promote development in the north-east.
Build all the bloody dams in the north east , generate electricity and promote economic development. Aid is obtained from those who have money , not from jute farmers and illegal migrants.
Lets be realistic
 
There are plenty of scopes for Bangladeshi businessman to invest within the country to reduce poverty. I do not think our business community should invest in Bharat as of now due to our own needs however if bharat start act like a good neighbor than perhaps we can go ahead and invest there in future otherwise it’s a big NO.

Bharat has done enough damaged to our social, political and economical sector hence no need to invest in enemy country.

NE is bharatis headache so let them cure it. Strong and prosperous NE region is not good for us. I hope Bangladeshi understand this important fact.

Are your parents and relatives alright in your villages? Many Indians commit suicide because they cannot survive even by begging. Indians are such poor that they cannot spare a pice to their neighbours. Do you want BD to send some aid to your parents?

Drought, debt lead to Indian farmers・suicides
Associated Press . Hyderabad, India

Dozens of impoverished farmers struggling with debt and poor rainfall have killed themselves in southern India in recent weeks, leaving behind families plunged even further into poverty, activists and politicians said.

Nearly every day, newspapers report more farmer suicides in Andhra Pradesh, a state of 80 million people where 70 per cent of the population depends on agriculture ・and which has suffered badly this year from weak monsoon rains.

Officially, the total number of suicides stands at 25 in the past six weeks. But opposition parties and farmers・groups say the true total is more than 150.

禅he government is trying to hide the facts,・opposition leader N Chandrababu Naidu said Wednesday in a speech before the state assembly. 選 have a list of the names and addresses of 165 farmers who have ended their lives because of the distress caused by the drought.・

Farmer suicides have, over the past decade, become a grim ritual in Andhra Pradesh and other parts of the Indian agricultural heartland, where small farmers are increasingly in debt. The sums can appear barely consequential to a Westerner, or even to India痴 increasingly large middle class: $300, $500, $1,200.

But for families often earning less than $2 a day, the loans, mostly made by small-town moneylenders, can be overwhelming. More than 17,500 farmers a year killed themselves between 2002 and 2006, according to experts who have analysed government statistics. At least 160,000 farmers have committed suicide since 1997, experts say.

Many kill themselves by swallowing a tool of their trade: insecticide. What they leave behind are indebted families that now have no one to work their fields.

Andhra Pradesh received just 50 per cent of its normal rainfall this year, and while recent showers have helped some farmers, enormous damage had already been done, particularly in water-intensive crops like rice, sugar cane and cotton.

As farmers depend increasingly on loans to buy fertilizer, irrigation equipment and increasingly expensive high-tech seeds, they are driven directly into the hands of moneylenders who charge up to 30 per cent interest, activists say.

The lack of access to bank credit at reasonable rates laid the groundwork for the trouble years ago, said K Ramakrishan, president of the Andhra Pradesh Farmers・Association. 船rought has only worsened it,・he said.

The chief minister, YS Rajasekhara Reddy, insists his government is taking the problem seriously, telling reporters Wednesday that he has ordered local officials 奏o submit a detailed report on such incidents and check the veracity of the opposition痴 allegations of more suicides.

He added that a national job plan for the rural poor, which guarantees 100 days of work per year at a daily wage of about $2, should help most poor farmers.

禅he state government is also providing a package of 150,000 rupees (about $3,000) to the family of every farmer who commits suicide・ he added.

Activists, though, say profound changes are needed to fix the problem.

禅here is no new reason for the current spell of suicides,・said PV Sateesh, director of the Deccan Development Society, a group working with farmers to use less irrigation-dependant crop varieties.

糎e have been following a pattern of agriculture which is bound to create such a serious crisis,・he said.

Every third Indian lives in poverty: Tendulkar panel:

Thu, Dec 10 10:54 PM

New Delhi, Dec 10 (PTI) Every third Indian is living in poverty, according to the estimate of a government-appointed committee which said the number of the poor has shot up by nearly 10 per cent to over 37 per cent. The expert group, headed by former chairman of PM''s Economic Advisory Council Suresh Tendulkar, in its report on poverty said 41.8 per cent of the rural population spend a meagre amount Rs 447 a month on essential necessities like food, fuel, light, clothing and footwear.

The situation is slightly better in urban areas, with 25.7 per cent being poor and they spend Rs 578.8 a month. India''s population is over one billion.

Among the states, Orissa and Bihar are the worst while Nagaland, Delhi and J&K have the least number of the poor. However, according to the World Bank''s estimates, 41.6 per cent Indians live on less than USD 1.25 a day, the international poverty line.

The World Bank in its report ''Global Economic Prospects for 2009'' had projected that even by 2015, one-fourth of India''s population will be living in extreme poverty. The Planning Commission in its own estimates had pegged the poverty at 27.5 per cent.

According to the Planning Commission''s recent estimates, poverty in India came down from 35.97 per cent in 1993-94 to 27.54 per cent in 2004-05. MORE PTI TAN CS NS.

India is poor ,that's true,Pakistan and Bangladesh are also poor,that's also true.

Nobody should take delight in this. I do not get delighted when I get news about Pakistan's poverty. Such a thinking is evil.
 
@ eastwatch.

Its ok really. We have the Awaami stooges who will send me your tax money.

thanx anyway

Agreed :agree: .

But on this context,a fellow countryman of yours (sharthak) asked the question,why India needs investment from Bangladesh when Bangladesh itself is so poor.BTW his tone was definitely mocking at our poverty.
The same question can be asked to him,as the poor population in India is greater than our total population.So why India is investing abroad?

But I don't want to get into any silly duels.
 
@ leonblack - yup such duels are petty. There is great potential for India Bangladesh trade in the NE. Bangladesh can also invest in the NE to gain more profit from projects here. Ultimately it comes down to the fact that can BD earn profit by investing in the NE. If YES then why can't you make investment here ? Also flow of money between countries creates interdepedence and greater understanding.

You want to say that since the death of YSR, the poor, backward and JATPAT infested Hindu India has become the center of affluence and has become a white moon in the midst of our black earth. What a suggestion! Are you fooling yourself? Go out and see the real India, and do not say bullshit again to us. Many of us visit India time to time. So, we know what India is.

Your men are selling their wives and you guys are projecting India as the very developed country and at the same time bullying your neighbour, whose investment you need to develop your NE. Go and read a speech given by Jairam Ramesh, while he was the Union state minister of Trade a few years back.

He also made the same suggestion that we help your NE. So, read before you guys write, and do not try to bully my country when you people live surrounded by cow dung and dirt.

Don't you ever send trash and throw insult to my country without knowing anything about it. Learn before you write. I have in my stock tens of other news reports about your JATPAT infested India and am waiting to send these one by one whenever your kind of posters suddenly come out with biases against my country.

You have trolled and also forced others to troll. The thread is all about the prospect of BD investment in your NE, and not about how half of my countrymen are hungry when the reality is we have achieved self-sufficiency in staple food production since last year.

This year also we have a record production. Unfortunately, India is having all those problems that I have posted, all because of drought. But, I never forwarded such a cruel news to harass Indians until you or someone else forced me to do so. But, I ask you never again to insult my country because it is poor.
