May be these couple of things are creating a little bit problems. But those who can't see the future is the blind. Brisbane is a better place no doubt but why Stuart law called us poor country? I really don't get it. I am happy that he did leave. Guy who has no respect for the country shouldn't be our head coach. And those so called probashi just remember it's the country you belong. Don't just criticise when you can brand your country.

I think you didn't read the interview carefully... If I remember correctly he said, "I was told that BD is a Poor country... But i see the people going to work happily...I see all happy faces....etc etc" I think you have failed to understand what he said/meant and over reacting...

And there is no denying fact that BD is a poor country...that's what the economic stats also say...if saying truth is a disrespect...you should try to change that truth first... Not The People who say that truth...So you shouldn't react so much even if he would say that....

Haha.. nice to know. Now every time I hear someone/newspaper from Calcutta criticising Dhaka/ Bangladesh's environment, I can have a quiet laugh to myself.

And not only Kolkata. I spent some time in Bihar in 2008...I would recommend anyone who wants to see true poverty and destitution to visit that state, particularly places like Gaya. It's a city seemingly built on a rubbish heap.

And if you think Dhaka, with its multi million inhabitants, has a waste management problem, have you seen the conditions of Naples?

Every country has its share of problems. Somehow we are always treated condescendingly/patronizingly by the international media.

Thanks for your kind words by the way, Ian.

BD has about 30% population bellow the poverty level and India a has more. And if you go by numbers, India has more than one BD bellow the poverty level.

And yes, Bangla (Kolakata), Bihar and Urissya; the empire of shiraj-ud-dowla ar ethe states with max poverty and yes the cities are too dirty too. And it wasn't long before IPL that, Ausies refused to play in India due to Pollution of the cities/environment and also put it up as a excuse for poor performance in India.

I never felt at risk, unlike in some parts of the world and even the UK.

I feel Dhaka is what you make it. It's all about perspective...

Nicely said Sir Pont - thank you.
