Sonar Bangla has overtaken India and Pakistan in economic and social indicators....

Bangladesh's extraordinary performance in both economic and social fields has made the country proud. Statistics show that Bangladesh has done better than both India and Pakistan.

Renowned Bangladeshi economist Rehman Sobhan, who was a close friend of Amartya Sen when he graduated from Cambridge, made a statement on Center for Policy on December 6, 2021. The gist of that statement was - "Keep the promise and keep the promise".Where East Pakistan stood in opposition to the West Bank on the eve of independence and how Bangladesh today compares itself to Pakistan after 50 years of independence is a topic of discussion.

Since independence, the country's per capita income has risen from 90.Earlier, per capita income was 61 percent behind that of Pakistan, now it is 74 percent more! Today, its savings ratio is almost three times that of Pakistan and its investment ratio is double. The rapid rate of infrastructure expansion, power generation capacity that was behind West Pakistan at the time of independence in the last half-century is about 40 percent higher than that of Pakistan. Bangladesh has the highest density of rural roads in the world.
