  as an Indian living in canada, every time I meet a bangladeshi person, I am absolutely moved and touched by their sweet nature, helpful attitude and hard working approach. whether its an uber driver, a nurse, a shopkeeper, or a friend's friend, each of the bangladeshis I have met are wonderful people. I have a soft spot for them as a result of my interactions.

  As an Indian i have lived in BD working with Brac &amp; Unicef for like 2 years. My only problem with this interview is that She is comparing Karachi to Dhaka which is incorrect &apos; U dont &nbsp;compare Countries based on 2 cities . BD has many more big cities like Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna which are in my opinion far better places to live than Dhaka. Dhaka is The most populated city in the world &amp; its environment is like Delhi, Polluted. So Dhaka is the worst representation of Bangladesh Just like Delhi is of India. If u are visiting BD go outside Dhaka &amp; u will find beauty of bangladesh. I doubt this lady even went Outside Dhaka that much as the video is all about Dhaka life. Their other cities also have good facilities but they are much much better, calm &amp; clean than Dhaka. &nbsp;<br><br>From my experience - If you go to Rural areas You would Find More Woman working than in tier 1 cities like Dhaka. Most of the product industries are set up outside main city so there are &nbsp;more labor jobs in RMG &nbsp;which is BD main Industry ) is not in central Dhaka. One thing i noticed is that Women ratio is much lower in Corporate &amp; govt &nbsp;jobs . What surprised me when i visited some medical colleges is that there are like 60% female students in Health education industry &amp; if you go to any medical college u would find atleast 50% female teachers . Although theres very few established Woman doctors compared to Man . I think many girls dont get into Medical professionally after MBBS/ BDS graduation . Thats a point they can improve . I think another reason is that Many girls just go into teaching in colleges rather than doing medical practice. &nbsp;I felt that Women are more in Education/ RMG labor &nbsp;sector than corporate 9-5 Jobs there. <br><br>Education - Education there is divided based on Cities &amp; is very centralized. You would find majority of top Institutions inside Dhaka. i have to give credit that BD has done good job in Primary education but in terms of higher education their Universities lack behind. So if you want Higher degree in university ( not medical ) u should prefer other places. BD Pak both are miles behind Indian IITS &amp; IIMS . But their Primary education plan since independence is very impressive &amp; their work in female education. &nbsp;Yes they dont focus on English language that much as We indians do ( dont know about pak) . But i dont agree that they dont write Bengali well. This is false information. Yes they do well in acceptable bengali writing skill ( i said acceptable not perfect cuz even many linguists cant write perfectly in proper way) . I hope they keep their focus on Modern education. <br><br>Health Education Sector - &nbsp;But As my work was mostly on &nbsp;health sector i can guarantee the Medical Education in Bangladesh is Much better than most other SE countries specially for foreign students .BD Medical MCI &amp; FMGE is most time &nbsp;in top 2 around the world. ( even better that Ukraine, Russia ,China). So if you are used to this subcontinent culture &amp; want to study Medical in foreign Country BD is one of the best places in ASIA. &nbsp;<br><br><br>Safety - Safety in BD is similar to India. i cant tell about Pakistan .Safety in Dhaka is lower than other towns. But dont worry people there are very hospitable so u would be fine. i am not touching political stuffs between countries. thats not my sector.

  When you are a Pakistani...visa process will be slow ...but not only in bd but also in many countries...this is the perk of having a Pakistani passport 😊😊

  As an Indian it is my gut feeling that Bangladesh is going to be the first among South Asian nations who will become developed. They have a very competent leadership. Kudos to Bangladeshis.

  My family roots are originally from Chittagong district, now in Bangladesh and it was my grandparents generation who had to bear the brunt of partition, having fled East Pakistan in1947, rebuilding their lives as refugees in the ghettos of Calcutta , West Bengal . Over the years i have met a lot of Bangladeshi men and women and &nbsp;have always considered them as one of us as I am used to their Baangal Bhasha being spoken at home by my grand parents, we share the same food habits, music, dance, &nbsp;literature and history, . As an Indian , we consider Bangladesh as a stable and friendly neighbour with whom we share a lot of common interest including &nbsp;the Nobel Laurette poet and &nbsp;composer of our national &nbsp;anthems.

  Don&apos;t start your visit to Bangladesh with Dhaka; it is very centralized, therefore you will face traffic jams and other hustles. Start your visit in Rajshahi, Sylhet, or Chittagong. Take love from 🇧🇩. And almost 85% of the people here can understand Urdu and Hindi because we watch a lot of Bollywood movies and Urdu is almost similar to Hindi.

  As a Bangladeshi I disagree with Women empowerment, education issue... But you are right about traffic and women safety issue.
