Two Tripura rivers to be linked with Bangladesh's Meghna

How? That 1300 per capita is after the revision of base year. Bangladesh is not growing faster than India! The gap will still remain the same, in fact the gap is expected to grow in coming decade. You just cannot bridge such a large gap without growing at a significantly higher rate than us for some years.

BD is still using 2004-2005 base year, whereas India recently moved to 2011-2012. Your 1800 dollar figure is using 2011-2012 base year.

That current 500 dollar or so difference in GDP/ capita will be cut by at least half when BD
rebases to 2011-2012 base year to calculate GDP.

As for GDP growth, don't worry as BD economy will grow by 1-2 percentage points quicker
when massive projects like Padma Bridge, Roopur nuclear power plant and the Matarbari coal plant/
port are completed. Since BD has a bigger impediment to growth due to poor infrastructure, it can improve
this deficit more than India can.

According to the report, the combined wealth of these 296 individuals is a staggering $478 billion, which is 22 percent of India’s GDP last year. More interestingly, this is larger than the GDPs of the UAE, which stood at $402 billion, South Africa ($350 billion) and Singapore ($308 billion).

Wealth =/= Gross Domestic Production

Tripura will eventually be incorporated into a greater BD.

I know...soon all Bangladeshi will do gharwapsi and Bangladesh will be incorporated in india..

Amazing insight on economy...
Boy you need to study hard...

Change of base year is no magic, it increases the figures marginally, just check your data from previous base year revision. And we will get a similar advantage if we update it, in absolute terms the increase will be higher as we have a bigger base. And you have no idea about the kind of development we are looking at, expect the 'made in china' tag to be replaced by 'made in India' tag in coming years, but that's a different story. Just hang around and expect big from your dear neighbour.

1. GDP is indepedent of personal wealth. Check the definition of GDP.

2. Almost all of this personal wealth is invested in the economy.

3. Check the wealth of top 296 in US and China.

Dude - I have explained why BD and India are actually very similar these days in GDP/ capita so
please accept this like a rational person.

BD GDP increased by 15% in the last base-year revision 2 years ago and so I would expect
something similar again.

As for GDP growth rates, like I say BD can increase this more than India can and with better infrastructure
soon, expect investment from China, Japan, Korea etc to flood in.

PS - Did you know that recently China offered 15-20 US billions in low-interest loans to upgrade the WHOLE
BD rail network? India can only dream of something like this.

You just gave false explanations, as explained by me.

Just compare the growth rates of the two countries for last one decade.

You are getting wrong on base year update for BD. We updated base year from 1995-1996 to 2005-06 two years back,which you are talking about.But that 2005-06 base year is still a lot of old to get the whole picture of economy.BD update base year in every 10 years while India update in every 5 years.So India's economic data are more accurate than Bangladesh. Bangladesh's total and per capita gdp will be at least 15-20 percent higher if updated to 2011-12 base years just like India.

Don't bother about our say in the running of our country, we have a functional democracy, unlike Bangladesh. And we are not particularly jealous about the 2nd poorest economy of South Asia.

Btw, though it doesn't really matter, but your figures are terribly off the mark.

West Bengal's GDP per capita 2014: $ 1532

Bangladesh's GDP per capita 2014: $ 1096

Just to remind you, I am skeptical about Bangladeshi news sources, it has to be credible.

GDP per capita (current US$) | Data | Table

GDP per capita of Indian States | Indian states GDP per capita 2015 - StatisticsTimes.com

For Bangladesh you are using world bank data of last year while for West Bengal you are using Indian govt. data in current year.

No. Both are World Bank data for 2014, only the state-wise break up was Indian government's.

And West Bengal still is a far more industrialized state than Bangladesh,

@Rain Man check out this article.

West Bengal saw 97% decline in industries since 2010

West Bengal saw 97% decline in industries since 2010 | Business Standard News

It only states that the industrial growth rate has slowed down a lot since 2010, but it is still growing...in case if you are thinking that the absolute volume has reduced by 97%, then you are thinking wrong. However, the data I gave you is of 2014, it includes the decline in growth.

From the article:
"The year 2012 was particularly rugged in the industrial front for West Bengal. The state saw projects worth Rs 312 crore being implemented, which was a fall of nearly 85% over the previous year, and 97% over 2010-the last year of Left Front rule in the state, according to data from the West Bengal Economic Review 2012-13.

In 2012-13, West Bengal saw industrial sector growth of 5.48% (at constant 2004-05 prices), which was higher than that in 2011-12, when the state's industrial sector grew at 3.82%. However, the industrial growth in 2011-12, the first year of TMC-led government in West Bengal, was much lower than that in 2010-11, when the industrial sector grew by 5.83%.

Can we stop this Bangladesh vs West Bengal nonsense? I personally want to see both BD and West Bengal prosper. I like to see West Bengal to regain its once preeminent position among the Indian states. This thread is about river, Tripura water etc. how it became us vs them thread?
