We need to build some really tall skyscrapers in Bangladesh

I appreciate that and out of respect for my fellow Hindu community members I dont eat beef either.

late Hakeem Saeed of Hamdrard foundation (India/ Pakistan) used to say (to us) your faith wont be endangered if you dont eat beef specially cow. one of the causes of 1857 mutiny are very humbling (Brits introducing cartridges coated with pig/cow fat intentionally to provoke both Hindus and Muslims (this was their time of freedom of expression like we see in France and America re drawing Muhammad).

I appreciate your decision of not eating beef to respect the sensibilities of fellow Hindu community, but if you like beef, then you need not deprive yourself just for the sensibilities of other communities. You might do that when you are dining with Hindus in a get together, but not in other times. Food is a matter of personal preference, and nobody has any right to prevent others from eating what they want to eat.

Most well-off people who want to see Hollywood movies can do so at their own 50-80 inch LED TV's in their living rooms, the rate of people going to Movies in Dhaka has gone down. Well-off people don't go into movie theaters unless it is a few kids. Unlike India we are not avid movie fanatics outside our homes.

Yeah Dhaka has now (so far) the largest mall in terms of square feet area (96,00,000 sqft.) in all of South Asia - exceeding anything you guys have (Jamuna Future Park). Average-looking maybe because it is new but not compared to Kolkata's tiny complexes. Of course being a larger country you have one or two more posh malls in Delhi to cater to the large-scale Chaur and Ghoosh-khors in govt.

Japanese, or for that matter we Indians also have large led tvs and home theatres, that doesn't mean you need not have multiplexes! Bangladeshis watch Hollywood, Bollywood and West Bengali cinemas and serials at home, many with pirated DVDs, because they don't have any other alternative!

And Wiki says Jamuna Park has only "gross leasable area of 4,100,000 square feet (380,000 m2) and total area of 5,450,000 square feet(510,000 m2)". Dhaka probably has another smaller mall, but that's really insufficient for any modern large capital city! Leave aside Tokyo, even we in Kolkata have a few dozens of malls and multiplexes in different shapes and sizes, the largest one so far, the Epicentre Mall, is opening within a year with 10 million+ sq.ft. space!

Bangladesh really have to go a long way before she can even dream of Central Tokyo like lavish underground buildings!

@bongbang paglu kothay geli bhai! @BDforever tai ba kothay?

Did you just pull that figure out of yours arse? Lets say its 1 million sq ft. Just one zero less.

Your city doesnt have any shopping malls compared to Dhaka. Lets agree to this. And all our normal shopping malls are bigger than your exclusive South city or Epic center mall

Dhaka doesn't have too many shopping malls, just a couple or so...market places don't count as shopping malls! And some Indian professionals who have gone to Bangladesh in their professional capacity to help build Bangladesh and its industries, have confirmed that even Jamuna Park is nothing but a glorified marketplace with too many small shops and barely any major brand shops! Quite unlike Kolkata which is dotted by dozens of shopping malls every few hundred meters away from each other, and filled with all the major Indian and international brand shops!

One of the problems is the Bangladeshis living in the West. They come to the West, work for a few years, save some money and then start commissioning projects to build a home, apartment building, buying up land willy-nilly or on their ancestral land without any consideration to a proper due process.
