If social development indexes are so good in BD why are they streaming into India? By the way, what are they developing with? BD has the most fertile land in the Indian Subcontinent, yet their agriculture cannot even produce enough to feed even half their population. Everything from Rice to vegetables and cooking oil goes from India. There is no industrial production to speak save a little bit of soaps and cheap cosmetics and textiles. Apparently the two major industries in BD are fisheries (since it is criss crossed by rivers and has a long coastline, fish is plentiful) and Textiles. This industry needs a bit of clarification. The investment for this industry is either Amarican, European or Japanese. The cloth goes from either India or Thailand. Ditto for sewing thread. The sewing machines are either Indian (Singer or Usha) or Chinese. Only the labour is Bangladeshi - doing the cutting and sewing as per international designs. You will notice that every major clothing lebel (like Walmart, Kelvin Kline, etc) has either it's own operation or a sub contractor in BD, where they get their apparels sewn at slave labour rates. All the raw materials are imported (read provided by the Brandname Companies) and the finished products are exported and some smuggled into India. Apart from these there are no industries to speak of. BD is sitting on one of the largest reserves of Natural Gas in Asia, yet they don't even know how to extract it properly - leave alone piping it and distributing. But of course, letting Kaffir Hindu India do it for them is total haram and can't even be contemplated. We would rather burn the gas and enjoy the fireworks! There is another nugget - every govt. in the world has its financial year starting from March, when the place their national budget, right? BD's financial year starts from April. The govt. of BD is never in a condition to place it's national budget, unless it knows beforehand how much 'alms' it has received from the rich donor nations in the world! Every govt. expenditure depends upon such aid. So it utilises the month of March to gather info about aid from various governments around the world and then publishes its national budget accordingly in April.
As per the UN index of corrupt nations in the world, BD is the most corrupt nation on the face of the earth. Believing the statistics put forth by it's Government would be a big mistake.
