Top Comments of this video!! :3
As a Malaysian who works with many migrant Bangladeshi construction workers. They're the most resourceful, smart, industrious, and hardest-working people I know.
Sadly, Bangladeshi government has prevented many of them from getting the right schooling and opportunities because I know they could easily go very far in life.

As a Bangladeshi, I agree somewhat with this video. We have done way more than what was expected of us. We are a model nation of how to get out of abject poverty. But there is a long way to go if we want to compete with the big boys. What I disagree is that this video paints a very grim picture. Its not that bad. Also, we did not seperate from Pakistan because of a cyclone, we separated because of genocide by the Pakistani Punjabis.

As a regular viewer of EE and as a 21 year old Bangladeshi I confirm that, a lot of young people have given up the hope that we're going to see a real change in our lifetime, seeing the shear amount of corruption, pollution and chaos around us, most of the university students just want to leave this country anyhow by getting a scholarship abroad after undergraduate. And there's no doubt that we've been lied to about the growth vs inflation, the average Bangladeshi has to do very difficult maths when shopping for something as necessary as daily groceries now, and It's not an exaggeration, practically any Bangladeshi can relate.

Something that I would say was overlooked here was about geography (I am from Canada so I don't know that much about other aspects of the country). Bangladesh looks like it has loads of natural harbours and really good water access. It is central to the population of the planet with China, India, SE Asia, Indonesia all nearby. So rather than taking resources up a river like the Mississippi, St Lawrence, Yellow or Yangtze, it would always be much easier to go and deliver raw materials to the Bangladesh coast, manufacture it there and then ship it out to the world. If it works for t-shirts, it can work for cars, ships, and every manufactured good. Lowering shipping costs is key to so many industries and Bangladesh is in a prime position to capitalize on that. They also have the man power to boot. It looks like a country full of great potential to me

0:32 I dont think south east asia considers Bangladesh as part of it. Since it is a country found by breaking off from pakistan/india, it is generally considered a south asian country
