But it's not "your" satellite. It's launched on American rockets, out of America.
So?
We have paid with our hard earned money to use that rocket. Didn't we? If tomorrow we pay for 10 more satellites to the Americans, those satellites will become ours and will be used in our benefits. We have enough money to spend and we will do everything possible to improve our communication capability.
Your country is the mostly densely populated on Earth, you have barely any technology and still dependent on Pakistan for arms and have students studying at Pakistani universities, though not as much as before. Or am I missing something?
Lol. Dependent on Pakistan? Is this some sort of Joke? We buy weapons from Pakistan and pays money in return. If we wish we can ditch Pakistan at any moment and buy weapons of even better quality from China, Russia, India or Turkey. So pls, spare me those BS about dependency on Pakistan. We r one of the biggest exporters of garment products to US and many other European countries. But it does not mean they depend on us for their clothing. They can replace us with any other country at any point of time if they wish.
Secondly, ur illiteracy rate is extremely low and recently it has gone below 60 percent whereas our literacy rate is above 70 and it's increasing at an extremely fast rate. Don't even know about the percentage of students from Bangladesh studying in Pakistani Universities. U should better present some data so that we can get a clear idea about it. I have seen plenty of Pakistani students in our Medical Colleges who get admitted on foreign student quota.
Your currency is slightly stronger than ours, but so is Kuwait's dinar to the US dollar

Wait a minute, that must mean...
Our currency is doing great against US dollars while ur one took a nosedive in recent years. PAK has to take loans from one country to repay the installments of previously taken loans. Perfect example of a country that's stuck in a debt trap. Furthermore, Ur country has recently been forced to depreciate its RS against US dollar. Also Keep in mind, currently we have enough Forex reserve to pay 9 months of import bill in advance whereas ur PM has recently been seen to run form one pole to another to take a billion dollar loan in order to keep ur economy afloat.
Well good for you. We ll see how BD is able to sustain that. Pakistan has gone through worst time of her history over last 15 years with this war on terror. If you see the predicted or expected top economies by 2025 or 2050, Pakistan is well ahead of BD. Having said that BD has every right to enjoy this brief period of "relative" superiority over Pakistan. It is also a known fact that BD has one of the worst infrastructure in the region. Also interms of population density BD scores worse than both India and Pakistan , the two other regional powers with large population base.
Without taking anything away from Bangladesh , we must be realistic about those figure quoted out there. What I fail to understand is if BD is well ahead of Pakistan and marginaly lacking behind India ( as per BD members claim) why hundred and thousands of BDs are settled illegally in India? I believe small countries like BD have this surge of growth before they reach a plateau where they remain for years.
That's the point. Currently we r ahead of Pakistan and economically doing great. But if tomorrow Pak becomes better than us i will not have any problem to accept the reality. Secondly, we have a higher population density but a large percentage of our plain is fertile and cultivable. We have also managed to drastically reduce the population growth rate which will improve even more in coming years. Our population wont be a burden to us if we can use it tactfully.
For ur second point, well, India is economically doing great of late. Many of our citizens migrate there to have better opportunities. Furthermore, we host a large number of Hindu population. Current BJP government's welcoming nature to Bengali hindus has made it quite easier for Bengali hindus to migrate there and start a new life in India.
