Chittagong port is a shallow draft port in Bangladesh and handled 3.4 Million TEUs of container traffic in 2025. Over 75% of jetty expansion at Chittagong is not yet done and in two more years will handle in excess of 7 Million TEUs once three more terminals and their jetties are activated...

Well I know someone may have insulted him, but is that reaction justified? What type of compromises are people as minorities willing to bear? Picking fights with sundry strangers is a losing proposition.

Back to what this thread is actually all about....

I see videos like this and shake my head. What has come of the subcontinent and educated expats? Terminally sad situation. The haircut itself is another crime. I don't know if you can call this guy a "Dalit" as well... but civility has left us from the subcontinent.

Guys please relax and refrain from using curse words. I will delete all posts like this going forward. This applies to all posters.

I am flabbergasted that Sheikh Bashiruddin of Akij Bashir group (as interim govt. aviation adviser) led the decision to purchase Boeing aircraft and almost cent percent positive that he had no corrupt personal gains whatsoever.

Guys please keep the conversation on point. Here is latest situation on Venezuela. And the rest of the news. 1 hr 38 min ago Trump says US is working with Venezuelan vice president From CNN's Alejandra Jaramillo Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez gives a press conference in Caracas on...

News outlets were saying that if China takes Taiwan now, the US doesn't have a legit leg to stand on anymore.

Venezuela has oil - and plenty of it. It was ripe for the picking, low hanging fruit. Was only a matter of time. This is what happens when countries anger/defy the US and can't wield power like China and Russia does. Or have nukes.

Bunch of Hindutva cowards ganging up and beating up on a defenseless old guy and - seems he is impoverished too (does religion matter at this point ??). Only happens in India - wow!

Well - one has to admit, a bit on the cheeseball side. But - people fundamentally have the right to pray to a God of their own choosing and as cringe as some of us feel - we cannot persecute anyone for this. This is part of the the principle known as "freedom of religion" or "religious...

Well a hearty welcome back to Brother @Aryobarzan. خوش آمدید!
