Re: Baloch tribal elders urge action against Nawab Bugti; Support Musharraf Governmen
^^ All this stuff is really off topic. I would want to talk about Bangladesh in specific, however. Their grievance was that they aren't getting their share. Like West-Pak sells jute, they make money, we don't get money. 35 years later, Bangladesh STILL has a third of the forex reserves Pak has, it's per capita GDP is not only the lowest in South Asia, but among the lowest in the world. So they got their independence, got their rights, had all the opportunities, and now THIS? Where is all the wealth going? With a population almost equal to Pakistan's, their budget expenditure as of 2004 was HALF of Pakistan's. Their per-capita GDP is nowhere near Pak's. Poverty is still huge. 40% of Bengalis are still unemployed [yeah check that out, now!]. And if I get that stuff out of freedom, I'd be depressed as hell.
