Would India’s northeast be better off with China?

[SarthakGanguly]

Mysore is equable the to the state where Bangalore is the capital.

Mysore is the Bangalore of the India the state Karnataka of the .....

If the only goal was to maximize the resources available, there wouldn't have been any need to divide the sub-continent! United India had the best synergy of manpower and resources available to make it easily one of the top 2 biggest economies in the world! But then, you guys were not interested in that, did you?

Why complain now?

Isn't that a hypocrisy that you guys harbor dreams of annexing Indian NE (which is not even disputed) while OTOH accusing India of illegally occupying Kashmir/Sikkim and in general being an expansionist power?


What is truly disappointing about your statement is its timing. Just when India gave up tens of thousands of acres of its own land to settle the border with a much smaller neighbor, you guys are not satisfied, are you?

Only goes on to show that you guys will never be satisfied with any border settlement!

Ummm, yeah... well... I don't know much about the history of the land of Bengal...

 

[ThinkLogically]

Bangali independence is just the first step. The world needs Tamil independence, Mysore independence, hyderabadindependence, etc...

Oh mighty lady, why don't come and fight for our independence. We will erect something commemorating your worldly sacrifice.

After living all this time in our country it needs the words from a useless person like you to know about the independence movement in my state of TN.

I have said the above in anger, please excuse me. You are from US which has a very informative society, please do not get overwhelmed from the junk ideas that you learn from Pakistanis and chinese. Out of 75 millions Tamilians the number of people wanting independence would be in single digits, in fact you can find more Californians wanting independence than us.

I have seen you repeatedly seen you mentioning Tamil Nadu and other states as wanting independence. I am sure my lecture will not stop you from repeating this offense in future but just want to forewarn you that I will be using offensive words from the language of the states you will be mentioning.

 

[UKBengali]

So what? Just because you guys attain a position of strength, it doesn't mean that you mark the territory with your religious color while the others can go to hell!

Dude - use whatever level of cognitive thinking you have.

If it was all about religion and resources, we would not be interested in West Bengal and it would just be
present BD and the NE. It is because of Bengali nationalism that the proposed state included West Bengal -
like BD it would have become the most tolerant state in S Asia

One day or the other, you guys have to learn to live with others even in places where you are not in majority.

Funny coming from an Indian where minorities are massacred on a regular basis since independence.

India, even with overwhelming majority of Hindus, is NOT a Hindu country, but is secular on the basis of its constitution!

Is that why some states would like to ban cow slaughter?

BTW, this was the similar proportion of the demographics in both East and West Pakistan even immediately after the partition! Ever wondered what happened to #2 and #3 of the statistics?

Mainly because of the bigotry of Pakistan when it was in charge and the 1971 civil war.

Now this is getting ridiculous. Do you expect India to give up its claim just so that you can get prosperous under an Islamic banner?

Those gigantic resources available in the NE belong to the people of NE and will still be used for the betterment of the people that live there without having to live under ridiculously bigoted regime!

No Hindu India is the bigoted one. NE people are called "chinks" and their woman harassed on the streets of mainland India.

Rather than still be living in poverty and discrimination, in a united Bengal NE people would be living in a prosperous and tolerant state.

Here's an open secret for you. Muslim Pakistan or Muslim Bangladesh (or any entity that is created on the basis of a religion) will never be satisfied with anything they have got! It is in the nature of the beast, I can't really blame you for that.

No it is Hindus coveting land that they should not have that is the root cause of the problems in the sub-continent.

 

[KingMamba]

Dude, united Bengal manpower combined with NE resources
and you would now have a country at least as rich as Malaysia.
Easily a top 5 biggest economy in the world.

Look at the progress that BD is making despite starting in 1971 and
needing an additional decade to recover from the civil war of 71.

Top 5?? You are pushing it.

 

[UKBengali]

Top 5?? You are pushing it.

United Bengal on level of GDP/capita like Malaysia.

Malaysia GDP/capita is 15,000 US dollars. Multiple this by around 240 million people and you have 3.6 trillion dollar total GDP.

 

[pakdefender]

People can not be better with cruel totalitarian regime. Whether NE or any Chinese territory.

totalitarian eh ?

Tell me are these people better of in india , or outside india ?

Too many variables to just randomly make such an assumption.

 

[UKBengali]

Too many variables to just randomly make such an assumption.

Then don't make any prediction in life dude.

I am using a medium case scenario - not rich like S Korea and not poor like Indonesia.

 

[DJ Crudept]

Bangali independence is just the first step. The world needs Tamil independence, Mysore independence, hyderabadindependence, etc...

 

[C130]

should write down a number and that number is the amount of dollars they would invest in the region.

knowing China that would vastly outbid India and get the job done.

just saying. it would probably be better off with China economically speaking of course.

That will be more than
India today. This shows why India is way too big. It's individual pieces will bring more prosperity than the British creation.

 

[Screambowl]

Oh goodness. Too much arse aches to few posters here. Any way keep having this

 

[Force-India]

India will disintegrate in due course.

It is a legal entity and not a nation.

Yes since people here hate each other so much and is only binded with the army force.

 

[Indos]

Then don't make any prediction in life dude.

I am using a medium case scenario - not rich like S Korea and not poor like Indonesia.

Indonesia population is 250 million, Jakarta itself has around 10 million people. You seem to see us as inferior than Malaysia, please check economic data first, and this is about our industrial out put data compare to Malaysia.
