Why does Bangladesh maintain a military? Just who is it's enemy?

[KAL-EL]

We kinda need a thread where its only vishwambhar, abcxyz, el sidd, pakistanforever and austin powers (undertaker) and seven0seven allowed to post to each other....just think of the possibilities!

I’d pay serious coin

What are you , idiot??
A tiny country with lots of thankless people.
Have some shame you brainwashed zombie before you wrote this crap about a country who liberated you.
What you achieved in 8 months fightiNg, you turd???
Indian Army achieved in 13 days only what you thankless zombies were not able to achieve even till today.
You are showing your pride like you are from " Alien planet".
You are just a Bangladeshi idiot.
Aukat mai reho.

Hmm so what did the Indian army achieve in northern Sri Lanka with 70,000 soldiers in a tiny area less than 10,000 square miles ? Nothing.
The mighty Indian army was kicked out by a ragtag LTTE which evidently was also trained and armed by India. Not only that ltte followed defeated Indian army and blew away Rajiv Gandhi using suicide bombing, a technique taught to them by India.

Even without quotas, this bright population/ethnicity of ours does well in academics and every sector of public life.

And we never, ever call them Chinkis.

Here is one of our models (Linda), she happens to be Chakma by birth. If this doesn't calm everyone down in here, I've got more....

I don't think that pic is designed to calm any man down !

You want to annex cox's bazar? i think you can easily visit the sea beach from north east India once the Akhaura-Agartala railline construction is completed.

Dear Riyad yes I would love to see coxbazar infact whole chittagong district in India as it would open up sea lines to our NE.... but I'm of the view that Bangladesh get territory from India in return for this....I don't wish free annexation....if things were in my hands I would have surely proposed BD for such exchange....

Blowouts are common in this industry.

I am not talking about blowouts, which could be seen in my place too.

Sylhet tour guides digging holes in the ground in a gas field with a dilapidated structure nearby and a rusty hoarding depicting the name of the field, to light fire with matchsticks as the Dhaka tourists looked on enthusiastically... That YT video is permanently etched in my memory!

Bangladesh has been utilizing natural gas reserves in Sylhet for more than 2 decades now.

Major failure of Bapex

During the government’s previous tenure, Bapex undertook an initiative to develop 108 onshore wells between 2016 and 2021.

Of the wells, Bapex was supposed to search 53 wells, dig 35 development wells, and complete the work of 20 wells to materialise the government’s Vision-2021.

But the plans have been recently shelved. According to media reports, only four wells were drilled until June last year.

I have been to one such place in Sylhet, on the way to Jaflong. It was left in that state after a failed well drilling attempt. The ground had collapsed and was eventually inundated, creating an artificial "Fire Lake". Unfortunately, nothing can be done to extract gas from that well, as the area is too unstable to extract the gas safely.

I did see locals making money by showing their tricks to the tourists, like the one you are referring to. Can't blame the locals, they are just being opportunistic and making the best use of a bad situation. It's no different than how Turkmenistan makes money off Darvaza gas crater.

Not sure what's your point here.

Development wells are dug in the active gas fields, where extraction is already on-going on other wells in those fields or at least proven to be feasible to extract safely from those fields. BAPEX may be inefficient and below par, but it still does not mean we are not extracting natural resources.

Besides, it's not only BAPEX who is responsible for extracting natural gas in Bangladesh. Bangladesh operates through Production sharing contracts with foreign contractors like Chevron, Kris Energy, Gazprom etc. This model is quite widely used in countries in the South-East Asia region like Indonesia.

In fact, Chevron invested half a billion-dollar more for the Bibiyana Expansion project, to increase gas production.

Have we not already said why this will never happen?

BD will NEVER part with it's strategic and remote CHT even if India offers the whole of the NE in return?

It is simply too valuable to a densely populated BD to ever even think about letting go.

BD and India already are co-operating in allowing transit to each other for goods and energy and so let us just leave it at that.

Free annexation or whatever, how do you even think that Bangladesh will give up it's part? Everything can't be exchanged, everything can't be bought or sold.

However are you a baniya/baishya caste? Just curious for obvious reason.

Forget this dude who likes to dream about some fantasy of BD-India "strategic partnership".

CHT is 13000 square kilometres of almost empty hills, forests and lakes. It contains large wild animals like elephants and reportedly there is a small tiger population there. Some rivers of BD originate in it's hills as well.

A densely packed BD would rather cease to exist than ever give this up, and any Prime Minister that even mentions this will be no more the next day.

It's amazing that he still is still harping his "Strategic alliance" while everyone is denouncing it.

Exactly, it's called, "বিনা যুদ্ধে নাহি দিব সুচাগ্র মেদিনী" even if they offer whole north east still not. Because this area belong to Bangladesh and will remain our part for eternity.

However they will try to annex it know doubt. They have already tried to do so several times, by so called, "jhoomland project" a dirty proxy war fought by Santu Larmas terrorist gang. Some fifth columnist also provoked the issue at past, you probably know.

But I think the best way to deal them in, fight fire with fire method, like many online secular activists are now raising voice against the fifth columnists.

Thankfully common tribal patriot people ( who are overwhelming majority among them) always help govt against the fifth collamnist traitors and their master!

OMG! If Chattogram is given to India what would be left in Bangladesh?

As I said territory exchange....

Thread title should be:Why does India maintain a military when it can only fedd them looose motion excrement? Just who are they trying to fool?
This thread should be in Indian defence section.

Don’t worry, take Chittagong and give us West Bengal.

 

[vishwambhar]

West Bengal will not be possible because if that is given to Bangladesh then it will separate sikkim and NE from mainland India.... sikkim and NE will become India's exclaves.....
