| Bangladesh need to hate India for its survival. If Bangladesh depends on India, then that's the sure path to death. Bangladesh should align to ASEAN pact, join China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Korea arch. India will never give what Bangladesh need. India can not even meet its own demand. The fools of India-sucker try to argue that dependance in India. It just startegically wrong. India is easily breakable, India is so diverse, it can break-apart easily. It does not mean, we start a fight with India. Our foreign policy should divest from India, its for our own strategic need. Aligning with China, a superpower and ASEAN market access is a big boon for Bangladesh. Look, what India did to Sri Lanka? India fueled civil war in Sri Lanka for 30 years by supplying arms to Tamil Tigers. Staying away from India will be good for the future of Bangladesh, just think.

Bangladesh is the most densely populated country in the world. It has a population of 156,050,883 (July 2009 estimate) with 147,570 km. sq. land area. This area has 55% arable land, 3% permanent crop and 42% other uses. The basic need of a human being is food, shelter and clothing. Bangladesh has no capacity to produce most of these materials needed to supply these basic needs for survival of its population. For an example, suppose you need to give at least give 3.0 meters of cotton cloth to each person per year. Bangladesh will need 156,050,883 times 3 = 468,152,649 meters of cotton cloth. Bangladesh cannot produce such a huge amount of cotton. If you go to the following website you will find the production of cotton in Bangladesh:
http://www.apeda. com/TradeJunctio n/Report/ APRIL_2009/ Bangladesh_ Cotton_Products_ Annual.pdf Production of Cotton in Bangladesh:
Assuming a normal monsoon and minimal pest/disease infestation, MY 2009/10 cotton production in Bangladesh is forecast at 9,500 tons from 32,000 hectares. Meanwhile, MY 2008/09 cotton production is estimated at 9,200 tons from 33,000 hectares, comprising 8,091 tons of medium staple American variety and 1,109 tons of short staple highland cotton (locally called "Comilla" cotton). Cotton is steadily losing acreage to other competing cash crops such as potato, maize, flowers, vegetables and rice, which are more profitable. Moreover, cotton cultivation is more vulnerable to excessive rainfall/floods and pest infestations vis-à-vis competing crops. Lack of short duration, high yielding and pest tolerant varieties and low market prices for cotton also have constrained cotton production, which in the past ranged from 50,000 to 60,000 bales against the country's current demand of over 3.6 million bales. [Excerpted from the website]
As you can see from above, Bangladesh is short of 3,600,000 – 60,000 = 3,540,000 Bales i.e. 3.54 million Bales of cotton which has to be imported and the nearest place to import bulk of this amount is India as it is nearer and the cost of transportation is less than any other country . Similar is the case for all other necessary basic materials and most of these basic materials have to be imported by Bangladesh to supply its people their basic needs. As stated above, these materials are to be imported from outside and India is the nearest place to get these materials at a less cost of transportation. So Bangladesh has no other alternative than to depend on India to supply its basic materials need for survival of its people. Therefore, Bangladesh has to keep good relations with India all through its life i.e. as long as Bangladesh survives.

Subject: [Diagnose] PM's visit to India
The piece written by the moderator before the PM's visit to India is shared by many. It is the same aspiration many of us awaited with great passion from a country that helped us to realize our independence, surround us all but one directions. Since our independence it has successfully influenced our economy trade, foreign policy, culture, thus our thinking pattern. Many among us get annoyed or antagonize when anything is said against India. It appears to me they made a common understanding that pro liberation means pro India- i.e, say anything against India you are anti liberation or even pro Pakistan. That is the common psyche among a big influential group dominated by writers, singers, drama artist, professors and of course their political mentors. And they are happen to be faithful of Awami League. My understanding of the moderator of this blog is the same – pro Awami. And the problem is these die hard supporters can't be explained to change their thinking pattern. If you ask those well known elites in cultural or teaching fields what do you think of Tipaimukh Dam, Gazaldova dam or even Farakka barrage, they will echo what AL says and will step forward with their shame less analogy to support this. I wonder what comes first, India's interest, strategy and policy or a poor nation's aspiration to use its resources ordained by our creators and sanctioned by international laws! Let me share the following – Port use – there is nothing wrong our ports are used by India but under what terms. All those supporters of what is being offered, with Singapore, Dubai, Penang or like, but, they do not say the offer made to only India is far from their services offered to all and being used by all shippers or stevedores. Their hearts are so bent that they are lying on our port capacity and prospects! Water – those who never see the Padma and its numerous tributaries dying conditions and its severe impact on our irrigation, food production, ecology and social impact over the years, can not see the Teesta barrage's dryness or Gasaldova's impact. Why all of our rivers should be obstructed? As a citizen of Bangladesh I do not like to see that. Power – 250 MW will be supplied to us to help us improve our situation, again an unwavering support and analogy produced! Those who know that BNP plundered all wealth on electricity which is more embedded in the hearts of AL and its elite supporters should understand that in last one year no policy or real works have been done. The little we see is the handy works of the infamous CG. Knowing our electricity problem had AL - the pro liberation and hugely mandated government, made an urge, without government investment at least 1000 MW electricity generation plants would have been under construction by now, very much credit to the AL government. BSRM the biggest steel company of the country, Ratan Steel and Rerolling Mills ltd. (RSRM), only these two companies last one year walking around the corridors of the government to establish 400 +300 MW (respectively) power plants. Today they are not hopeful that they can produce electrity for their own plants and for national grid. So what is the idea here, who will think 'Tuku' is defeated here. I will say BD is deprived again.. So what is the rational opting for foreign dependence? What it takes to create a policy that favours private or PPP for a faster track implementations? The policy that is being perceived generally out of the MOU signed between PM and her mentors goes far beyond any apparent reasoning. Will the patriotic bloggers analyse it keeping our country interests on the forefront? |
