To all those who are comparing India and Bangladesh basis of per capita GDP: Some facts for you

1. As per 2001 census, 3.1 Million Bangladesh immigrants reside in India basis of place of birth and last residence as a proof of citizenship.

2. 1.1 Million Rohingya are displaced from Bangladesh and they are refugees in Myanmar and India.

3. The major driving force of Bangladesh’s economy is ULFA (Banned terrorist outfit). They own stakes in almost every company in Bangladesh. They are also funding political parties

4. Approximately there are more than 3.9 Million legal immigrants in Middle East and other countries. 0.08% Middle East population is contributed by Bangladeshis.

Kerala has better per capita GDP compared to Tamilnadu with almost negligible industries.

That’s the same case with Bangladesh. 39 lakh of the 16 crore population send back money which is twice the average income of a middle class Bangladeshi working in Bangladesh.

2. Predominantly in Myanmar, India and in Bangladesh as refugees. Fewer numbers in other countries as well.

During the UPA government, Sriprakash Jaiswal, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, made a statement in Parliament on 14 July 2004, saying that "20 million illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators were living in India", and West Bengal had the most with 5.7 million Bangladeshis.

More recently, Kiren Rijiju, Minister of State for Home Affairs in the NDA government has put the figure at around 24 million.

Why will the per capita of Bangladesh not raise considering these.
