But you army won’t allow him. They will change votes don’t worry.

You're right, that is a real threat, but can Imran be the first Pakistani politician to win despite that threat, only time will tell. He has achieved many things which no other Pakistani has been able to, this could be his biggest test .  Army is still popular in Pakistan and wanted to remain like this , if IK was able to gain too much public support they will make some sort of deal with him. A weak government is always suites the army, they like it.

Meanwhile Bangladesh says hello:

No doubt, Bangladesh provides one of the most striking examples in the study of present day development along with rapid growth and catching up. In this context, one important question is: Why has Bangladesh succeeded in making this quiet transformation? As with all large-scale historical changes, there are many factors and no definite answers are likely to emerge. Still, one might argue that Bangladesh's economic transformation over the last fifty years has largely been driven by social changes, probably initiated by women empowerment. There exists a large number of micro-level success stories of innovative, low-cost solutions, such as social development-intensive microfinance programmes targeted towards women empowerment and social mobilisation both by the government and the NGOs; women labour-intensive, export-based garments industry; and the boost to earnings and human capital provided by labour migration and inward remittances that has made significant strides towards educating girls and giving women a greater voice, both within the households and in the public sphere.

Amazing how Bangladesh has caught up. Just 15 years ago, India's GDP per capital was almost double that of Bangladesh. This graph just shows how well Bangladesh have progressed.

Damn.... Meanwhile lankans who were supposed to compete with Korea in 1960's & 70's are having  an exchange rates of over Rs 330 over US dollar. 

And Hamsaya mulk not far behind with  Rs 189 over US dollar. 

 

Well done to Bangladesh man.

Most gratifying was the real commitment to empowerment of women, and its contribution to growth.

Yes, definitely sad that women's empowerment seems to apply to certain sub-sects of women, but not all.  Maybe GoI should put some economic pressure on BD to clean up their act.

 

They wont do anything for their party workers who are murdered and hindus generally in West Bengal.. do you think they will do anything in BD? Ghanta

Sub-sects? What are you liberal media like BBC, NYT? Can you spell out Muslims vs Hindus? You can call out Whites vs Blacks in the BLM debate in US, but can’t name majority Muslim community in BD? This is sick PCness and fearing what liberals and Islamists in the west  have coined a word - Islamophobia . Muslims when in majority are worst supremacists than whites

By this logic Switzerland and not US is the real superpower today. BD has done well and will continue to do well as long as they follow middle east and not pakistan.

When BD was making steady progress, Pakistan was being run by two corrupt families, Sharifs and Zardari/Bhutt crime families , they accumulated plenty of personal wealth but left the country drifting down , but who cares about the country , that;s not their headache. Now they're back to start their business where they left. Some idiot Pakistanis don;t understand that open secret , ridiculous .

They have done well in multiple areas and made compromises too for economic growth. Polluting export oriented industries like textiles running with very cheap labor in unsafe conditions. My mechanic was telling me some time back that the Amaron battery components are being built there since it's cheaper. Imagine that, manufacturing and labor cheaper than India, what are the possible compromises ?

Very consistent performance in wiping off minorities in such a short time. I just cannot boast about their progress, and shamelessly ignore the fact that so many minority women were raped, people killed or converted. 

 

Persecution of minority is almost like given so none of the psec libbus are bothered about how minorities are treated. They were jumping with joy that BD P.C. GDP crossed that of India. Leftists are most shameless people in this world.

Not to mention the steady flow of illegals into WB, Assam and other parts of India.

Didn't yogi change some labour laws in up to accommodate manufacturing? India can definitely provide even cheaper labour in certain states

Think the ordinance decrees that certain industries are expemted temporarily from the provision of certain labour laws.

 

Definitely would ( and has) attracted mfg to the state. It started as a 3 year stint. Let's see if the Government of UP decides to make this change permanent. Could be bad, in re elections I presume. But that's not a worry for sometime now.

Another big factor is the low or non existent cost of defence. It also helps to offload large chunk of your population into neighboring land. Nonetheless this is a brilliant success story.

2006

Pakistan GDP per capita - 836 USD

India GDP per capita - 806 USD

Bangladesh GDP per capita -509 USD

 

2018

Pakistan GDP per capita - 1482 USD

India GDP per capita - 1997 USD

Bangladesh GDP per capita -1698 USD

 

2020

Pakistan GDP per capita - 1188 USD

India GDP per capita - 1927 USD

Bangladesh GDP per capita -1961 USD

 

Southern part of Indian subcontinent has higher GDP per capita in general.

 

Compare these to states of Bihar and UP with NSDP of 681 and 991 USD respectively.

 

Even West Bengal is poorer than Bangladesh with NSDP of 1695 USD.

If this doesn't scare a Pakistani, nothing will. 33% of GDP per capital has got eroded from 2018 to 2020 and they didn't even have a lockdown for covid. Pretty amazing.

I guess fall in value of PKR was also big factor in this.

 

But surprisingly they had highest GDP per capita till 2006 and when it is compared to other states in north India, they were well ahead. 

 

Despite all talks of opposition being corrupt, Imran's govt has been biggest disaster for Pakistan, it seems.
