Oh!! I did not notice his two Father of the World British flags. I wonder, if he or that
@UKBengali live in Europe they should have the first-hand glimpse of what a developed economy means. I live in Japan, but I also made short visits to Amsterdam, London, Frankfurt and Zurich on my way to and from Nigeria and Libya. All are very highly developed countries who came to this level by doing hard work all by themselves over many centuries after the failure of Crusade.
All these countries competed with each other to invent technologies. Even they stole them from their rival countries. Gradually they developed their industries that created wealth which they used to build public works like road, port & harbor, bridges, dams and many others.
Japan was late, but caught up with them very fast. Japan learned technology from Europe and the US. A British company built the first railway in Japan, a 10 km. stretch sometime in the 1860s. But, the government knew it cannot depend upon Europe to make further progress. So, the GoJ employed one or two local companies to work with the European companies.
This is how the local companies learned and acquired the knowledge and technical know-how. They used the experience to build about 30,000 km. of the railway by 1905 without any more contribution by the Europeans. Many similar things happened. For example, France built Japan's first integrated steel mills. Holland built its first large watergate. I even saw a German-built railway bridge in a remote area.
This should be the process of national development. But, our Golden Bengal people love not to work by themselves. The GoB borrows money from China, India, ADB, JICA and many other institutions. They come and build but we do not learn how to build similar projects. It only means BD will have to keep on borrowing all the time. A day will come when the borrowed money this year will be used to pay the arrears with interest of the past years.
These are the things why I protest and the PDF brats tag me anti-BD and non-BD. We must follow the examples of other countries like South Korea, India, and Taiwan and set priorities for the development of the country. But, the BD PM has set priority on the airplane and rocket science, and the BD brats are shouting with excitement. What an idiocracy!!
