Nepalese restaurant food is not very different from Bangladeshi or Pakistani cuisine. Bangladeshis like Mughal food typically when they go to restaurants, which is unlike what you find in say, South India with their typical cuisine. Same for Pakistani folks. Biryani is a staple.

Although furious back-pedaling on this bit of bad economic news continues in Indian media, the obvious is visible to all in non-Indian circles. So much for superpower dreams. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bangladesh to edge past India in per...

https://powerhousetradingllc.com/about-us/ This is basically a brand new Bangladeshi company, based in the US.... Probably connected to some BNP bigwig. Someone in Bangladesh is getting some fat kickbacks.

Banglkadesh has to decide first whether it will model its locomotives on European-standard or US standard locomotives, coaches and wagons. They are very different in practice and usage. US standard locomotives, coaches and wagons are simpler and far more robust in comparison. Although standard...

This "researcher" needs to do a bit more "research" about railway history (even Bangladesh Railway related history) in his retirement. My apologies, his article reminds me of the American truisms "Captain Obvious" and "No $hit - Sherlock!"

The reasons for frequent derailments in Bangladesh are because they always choose and source third rate low class low weight Indian rail trackage, 40/50 lbs at best. The high speed bullet rain trackage used in USA (and Korea as well, as I've personally observed) is 100 lbs or 50 KGs. Yes -...

Any deal (CEPA or otherwise) with India will always be at the advantage of India and at a disadvantage to Bangladesh, trade-wise. If Bangladeshis haven't realized this by looking at trade history between both countries in the last fifty years - then when will they? This is not an emotional...

I'd advise the honorable finance minister along some points - maybe he can consider these. Being well-traveled across Asia, he is aware, I'm sure on the strengths and weaknesses of the Bangladesh export economy. The most promising labor intensive export sectors in Bangladesh - looking at...

The question should not be either/or. It should be both road transport AND rail. The pussy-footing and hypocritical caricature posturing has to stop, action needs to replace memos, bulletins and reports. Dhaka Chittagong corridor had become critical some two decades ago and needed to be a six...

Thanks for the pictures brother! I hope to take the Beijing to Lhasa Z21/Z22 express (boarding in Xining onward to Lhasa to reduce fatigue) which a lot of Bangladesh travelers do, by flying into Xining. https://www.tibettour.org/tibet-train/beijing-to-lhasa-train.html Flying back from...

That is a given. We are one-eighth the size of India. The thing that astonishes me though - is how many Indians buy into Modi's bullsh*t propaganda about India being a superpower. Some Indian economists have said that the general Indian populace is this way because they have malnutrition.

Ha ha ha - yes smells like a stinky Dalit....:ROFLMAO: At least they should be good liars, not pathetic ones like this... "Indians have 12 times better life standards than Bangladesh".... Riiiiight...

The fact that this development happened is not the noteworthy news. The fact that Hasina let Kolkata ATC control Bangladesh' air traffic for the last three decades and had them mint millions from the scenario - is what raises my eyebrows. We could've bought and implemented our own ATC ten times...

To be truthful - the more the noise from these states, the more they will stay the same. Chilla-chilli e shaar....

Why worry about elections? I think if push comes to shove, we will just walk over and take over these territories. <JK>:cool:

Uh- oh! Trouble incoming. ;)

Debpriya baboo does not like the US - because his sponsors in Indian Govt. also have a dislike for the US. But who cares?

Building Dhaka Metro Line 5 North is a must, even if MRT Line-5 (North) costs twice as much as MRT Line 6 did, which is now operational. The reason is that a huge portion of the city's residents live in outlying areas such Hemayetpur in the West to Bhatara in the East and everywhere in between...

India is the only large nation that tries to terrorize its neighbors by flagrant disinformation campaigns, especially during elections. Number one haramis in classic style. https://pkdefense.com/threads/disinformation-misinformation-about-bangladesh-in-national-international-media.1694/post-77053
