Why bring India/Pakistan unnecessarily into the discussion? just because they could not do something after xyz years doesn't mean we have to use that as an excuse for our shortcomings.
The reason is that Bangladesh is not outside of the general standard that India sets regarding industrialization - at least not yet. There are too many similarities in societal attitudes as well as industrial initiatives. Too many interconnections trade-wise....
Bangladesh DOESN'T have Industrial shortcomings, you are buying and swallowing Indian troll propaganda lock, stock and barrel. Don't be a part of foisting misinformation just because Indian trolls say it.
Indian trolls who claim Bangladesh is undeveloped because we don't make cars, trucks and industrial machinery are banking on the ignorance of Bangladeshi PDF posters. Things are not made on patriotic whims, they are made (and factories are set up to make them) because it makes business (and financial) sense and promoters can make solid profits.
As a larger population country (by a factor of eight) India can initiate large-scale industrial projects (like lathe machines, automobile manufacture or rail loco manufacture) which would simply
never make sense for us to make locally for our small market (especially since we do not serve an export market). This simple fact is lost on Bangladeshis because they don't understand it. There is meagre demand compared to the sunk investment needed.
Hence Indian Sanghi trolls and Bangladeshi false-flaggers (probably Indian Sanghis again) are harping on this fact constantly about how undeveloped Bangladesh is.
No Bangladeshi I know personally is a Sanghi or lover of Bajrang Dal. If you see that attitude and they are dumping on Bangladesh in terms of industrialization constantly, they have been marked. Bangladeshis will not dump on their own country in constant fashion, they know what is going on locally and understand.
On top of this - some of these false-flaggers can't even respond in Bangla, which I have already proven and reported to the mods. I KNOW who these false-flaggers are in PDF, They think they are too smart but their velkibaji is nothing to me.
Back to the topic - a heck of a lot of things made in India are simply for local market consumption at the least investment. That is the general consensus by Indian industrialists and that is what they aim for. India has very few (probably none) facilities to make cellphone motherboards from scratch. They import it from China. Indian industrialists are simply trying to make the most profit by catering to a humongous market at the cheapest possible cost (investment). Make them by the millions by screwdriver assembly at the least possible sunk investment.
Sanghi propaganda and chaiwala proclamations (e.g. 'Make in India') to appeal to Indian patriotism to the contrary, Indians are not looking toward becoming a huge export powerhouse like China anytime soon (other than backoffice exports which requires little infra, if you don't count datacenters and IT infra).
Indians know they can't match China in the global market regarding industrial efficiency, logistics and cost, they KNOW they'd lose.
Infra is being built in India however, in slow fashion. The propaganda for this however exceeds what is actually happening in reality.
ICT minister acknowledges that Bangladesh missed 1st, 2nd and 3rd industrial revolution. 4th industrial revolution is all about big data, data science, iot and ai. To accomplish this you don’t need to build steam engine. With solid knowledge and understanding on math, stat, programming and networking you can accomplish it. Bangladesh has the potential to achieve this.
Agreed.
When IT infra is as cheap and as readily available (and the amount of excess bandwidth we already have), the potential to build an army of folks with intellectual IT capital is not impossible to achieve. I have seen the level of talent in local Bangladeshis regarding IT. I have no doubts that with proper investments, training, they can become assets way better than any neighboring country.
On top of this Bangladeshi IT resource costs are half (HALF!) that of India's. Even with the amount of IT talent they graduate or train every year, the resource crisis is dire and Indian IT salaries are going through the roof... it is not a recruiter's market any longer and job-hopping is severe and widespread.
I see this as a huge differentiation factor for global IT competitiveness for Bangladesh - untapped potential.
We should also concentrate on non-traditional IT industries India has not concentrated yet. Such as animation, CGI, phone apps (especially in Asian languages such as Chinese and Japanese which are huge markets).
Bangladesh' CGI animation industry (IMHO) is already way better and cheaper than surrounding countries.
) complex face...so much that he pretends to ignore what I write now. You can judge his blood pressure from his above post haha...so imagine what one video like this did to it..given he knows BD will never ever export an iota of this kind of thing to the country his lot all so aspire to be:

...but its great you don't care haha. Just want to get to the root of the matter and the truth....much respect to you in the end.
