भारत और बांग्लादेश खरगोश व् कछुए की दौड़ थी . अपने विशाल अर्थ व्यवस्था पर अभिमानी भारत यह नहीं देख रहा था कि उसके बाबु और राजनीती को अर्थ व्यवस्था से अधिक महत्त्व देना देश के लिए घातक हो रहा है . हम अपने उद्योगे के कानूनों मैं समयोचित बदलाव नहीं ला सके . बँगला देश व् वियतनाम कपडे के उद्योग मैं हमसे कहीं आगे निकल गए . हमारे यहाँ १०० से अधिक कारीगर वाली फक्ट्रियां या स्पिंडल से ज्यादा होने पर इन्स्पेक्टोरों की फौज टूट पड़ती है और फैक्ट्री मालिक गुलाम की तरह उनकी सब मांगें पूरी करता रहता है . यही हाल मजदूर यूनियनों का है . बिजली वाले पर्यावरण वाले निरे नखरे दिखाते हैं . फिर सेल्स टैक्स इनकम टैक्स लोकल गुंडा टैक्स किस किस का पेट भरे . यह नहीं है की बांग्लादेश मैं भर्ष्टाचार कम है परुन्तु सरकार की नीतियाँ उद्योगों को सहायता करती हैं . बात साफ़ है गाय ज्यादा दूध देगी तभी तो सब को मिलेगी . मानव विकास में तो बँगला देश पहले ही आगे निकल चुका था . उदाहरण के लिए भारत मैं एक लाख लोगों के लिए ५० अस्पताल की बेड हैं . बंगला देश मैं यह संख्या ८० है . सिक्षा मैं भी वह हमसे आगे निकल चुका है.
हम अबभी चुनावी राजनीती मैं डूबे हुए हैं .अब कम से कम सरकार को जाग कर राजनीती को कम महत्व दे कर चुप चाप आर्थिक विकास पर ध्यान देना शुरू कर दे .
Once described as a “bottomless basket” by US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Bangladesh is fast emerging as a bull economy, outpacing giant neighbour India in many indices of economic or human development.
a group of people in a room: India Falls Behind Bangladesh in Per Capita Income by $280© Provided by News18 India Falls Behind Bangladesh in Per Capita Income by $280
Bangladesh Planning Minister MA Mannan informed the country’s cabinet last week that the per capita income of Bangladesh has now increased from $2,064 to $2,227.
Bangladesh’s per capita income is now $280 higher than India’s per capita income which is $1,947.
“Our per capita income stands at $2,227 in the fiscal year 2020-21 against the previous fiscal year’s per capita income was $2,064. So, the growth rate is 9 per cent,” Bangladesh’s Cabinet Secretary Khandker Anwarul Islam told IANS.
In 2007, the per capita income of Bangladesh was half of that of India but it will overtake the giant neighbor in per capita GDP once again in 2025 if IMF’s latest World Economic Outlook is to be believed.
But what pleases Bangladeshis more is that they have left Pakistan far behind — a sort of sweet revenge for the genocide of 1971 in which three million Bengalis died and quarter of a million women were dishonored by the brutal Pakistan army trying to suppress the Bengali liberation struggle.
“My father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman took the right decision to break away from Pakistan in 1971. See where they are and where we are today,” PM Sheikh Hasina told journalists recently.
Former Bangladesh Information and Telecom Minister Tarana Halim said: “Pakistan is a sinking ship because it developed a military-driven defence budget focused economy with substantial terror financing burden. Once the Awami League took charge in 2009, our leader Hasina focussed on human and economic development with strong trickle-down impacts. We have a stable civilian government and has benefited from good relations with India.
She rubbished some Western analysts who give micro-credit NGOs all credit for the country’s entire development success.
“Micro-credit NGOs don’t invest in health and education, infrastructure and connectivity which are the real drivers of growth. Our government invested heavily in these areas and the country is now reaping the benefits,” Halim told IANS.
Halim also said foreign remittances have grown into a strong pillar of Bangladesh with inflow of nearly $3500 million expected in 2021.
“That is possible because our government has streamlined labour exports. We crack down hard on illegal migration because those who illicitly go abroad don’t send back remittance,” said Halim, rubbishing charges by Indian Home Minister Amit Shah that Bangladeshis come to India because they don’t have enough food at home.
“We have achieved food security and few hundred thousand Indians work in Bangladesh,” she said.
