I feel like this video didn’t really explain very well why Bangladesh’s geography is good or bad

China and the India subcontinent are ridiculously rich in arable land and resources,no wonder they combined have over 3 billion people

Basically, poor management, typical colonialism disasters, and overpopulation have turned a great situation into a nightmare

The Bengal area was on of the richest areas pre British time, it was contributing 20 percent of the entire subcontinent till this date no state in the world has been able to put such contributions. California is close but not yet there even with Sillicon Valley. The Bengal part is full of water and has on of the most arable and fertile land in the world.

Corruption is the #1 problem in Bangladesh. There is a saying: Rajuk fixes a broken road. Then Wasa(sewage) tears it up to fix plumbing then wait Rajuk to fix the road and then Wasa comes back to tear up the road again. There is obviously the coordination problem but also classic corruption. Contract for fixing up road and sewage is how many make money.

I highly appreciate that you pronounced "Bangladesh" correctly and atleast you tried to do so with the other names. Thanks!

As an Indian I hope one day the old wounds would heal and India Pakistan and Bangladesh (and maybe Nepal and SriLanka too?) Would form a NAFTA like organisation like you guys in North America and business and Trade would boom. And Subcontinent would be prosperous. Lets not hate over Reiligion, lets look at shared interest and be pragmatic.

I like the way you use little parchment notes to indicate there's a source in the description. Clever editing.

As a Bangladeshi I can say the video is actually very well put together.. without any BS. Thanks for doing that.

Really really appreciate this channel's dedication to cite sources properly and provide notations WITHIN the video... Many channels provide sources but there isn't a way to connect them with content so this method is really good

I life far away of Bangladesh in europe, but I could imagen Bangladesch might be one of those countrys wich could be a hidden gem for tourists to visit nontheless

This video hits on several crucial points right at the sweet spot. 1. The delta and the resultant arable land. 2. The fact that Dhaka's management is vested on different agenices, making coordination the #1 challenge.

3:00 The division in 1905 you showed is partial. The then Bengal Province (or Presidency or whatever, I forgot) was larger, and had parts of today's Indian states of Bihar and Odisha. The division in 1905 added Assam to East Bengal.

You could have done better research. The presentation seemed a bit sketchy. Some of the footages you have shown are actually taken in India not BD.

Watching from Bangladesh. Thank you for making this video.

well covered and neutral perspective. hope Bangladesh will grow to its largest potential

hmm... i didn't thought u would actually do a video over Bangladesh although its great that u did ( i m from Bangladesh actually) but it was small could be more then this ig

As a Bangladeshi we are not really that squeezed in this country. Well you see there is pictures that a lot of people trying to get in the train, well that does not happen all the time. Its because all the exams are done and they are going to holiday but because too much population people some have struggling in the train.

Man more and more people are talking about my motherland. Feel very proud

The fact that a somewhat small country has such a large population is proof enough of it being a very fertile place, but having most of a country be nothing but a huge delta must be a logistical nightmare when it comes to keeping its infrastructure running. Water isn't kind to, well nothing, when it comes to man made stuff.

That map (outline) at 7:25 is dead wrong if it's supposed to show the city of Dhaka That outline shows the border of the old Dhaka division (so current Dhaka and Mymensingh divisions combined)- and Dhaka city is only one part of the Dhaka district which itself is a part of the way larger Dhaka division

The Dhaka map is dead wrong. It shows the old Dhaka Division before it had been divided into Dhaka including the part south of the river Padma called Greater Faridpur which is going to become the nineth or the tenth division of our country which might get named Padma after the mighty river itself, and the Maymansingha (Mymansing) division on the north. In short, the southern zone marked as Dhaka south is not a part of the Dhaka Metropolitan area.

Really loved the video.

Fun Fact: The whole of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 is divided by a Long River.

Bangladesh is blessed with many things naturally. Our population is huge if you compare it with our land area. Still our land is providing us food without any big problems. Natural disasters are the only negative thing about our Geography. Unfortunately people of our country only think about their stomach otherwise our country could be a prosperous nation by this time.

Bengal was the richest country during Bengal Sultanate, Mughol and Nawab era. When British came here it was the richest indeed when they are leaving Bengal, it become poorest. Such a tragic looting of Bengal.

Good points thank you.

Tbh the video basically touches on everything about Bangladesh except the thumbnail title. I really wondered how can our geography might be too good while we are literally submerging bit by bit due to global warming. Turns out the title was just a clickbait.

6:49 i think he forgot that tokyo metropolitan area is the largest in the world with a population of 38 million

I’m in Bangladesh right now leaving in 2 days beautiful country gonna miss it

Thanks for the video. Love from Bangladesh ❤️💗❤️ .

I respect you for taking the time out to properly pronounce the countries name.

I know it’s not the type of video you’d make, but I’d love to see a video about Berlin Byways in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Really good video. No false information. I was gonna hate on it if u “praised” us tbh. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Love 😘 from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🥰. Nice video. Where are you from????

I like that you didn't just focus on the new rosy description of development in the country and its potential but rather what's there right now

Dhaka: "20 million on our city and we're one of the most polluted cities in the world". Manila: "Wait a minute! Hold my beer! I AM THE MOST POLLUTED AND MOST POPULATED CITY IN THE WORLD! Not you Dhaka." 10/10 I'd rather go to Dhaka than disgusting Manila. 🤣

There's actually an interesting story regarding how Pakistan gained Bengal after the partition. Initially, the agreement was for not two but three countries to be established after 1947 with East Bengal being Independent. But after 1947, that did not happen Muhammad Ali Jinnah called the original agreement a typo and made East Pakistan a peripheral colony for the extraction of resources and wealth.

Got to admit the ending (and the whole video) was dope ass.

Nice.

That comment about it being one of the largest cities in the solar system cracked me up. On that note, thank you for another interesting video about a country I know very very little about! God be with you out there everybody! ✝️ :)

Bangladesh❤Argentina

Nice ❤️

can you make more content on this country? so little content like this on YT

Reading history books to know your history 🚫 Watching a random foreign KZfaqr explain your history ☑️

I think this video has more historical figures then geography

error in 7:28 u showed dhaka division ; not dhaka city

You know what ? Though Dhaka is the most polluted and populated city , I feel something magical whenever I go to the city . It is beautiful in it's own way .

I think you could make a whole video on Adivasis around the subcontinent, such an interesting topic.

Not to mention how it's only land borders are with India and Myanmar, sure there's some issues with Myanmar, but since Bangladesh and India have excellent relations, Bangladesh doesn't have to spend much on it's military.

As a Bangladeshi people we are proudfull

Correction 1:14 Before spilling out into the Bay of Bengal, not the Indian Ocean

If Bangladesh didn't have all the corruption and the corrupted political leaders then this country could've become countries like Singapore, Malaysia. The budget Bangladeshi govt puts in each project is waaay higher but it gets divided into corrrupted people's pockets.

Bangladesh probably: DJ Khaled: Suffering from success

Interesting

Comment about the thumbnail It's so good that it's endangered from rising sea levels, flooding & typhoons lmao

As a Bangladeshi My Motherland may have many problems But it's the best and I love her dearly 🇧🇩 May my nation live for thousands of years

You showed map of "Dhaka Division " while mentioning "Dhaka city". Thus, in the video, the marking of Dhaka South and Dhaka North has become incorrect, as there is no north-south demarcation of the division but only of the city.

PS: The rivers pour down into "Bay Of Bengal" not Indian Ocean

Kolkata city was the capital of British India. But before Kolkata there was existing Dhaka city and Murshidabad city at the time of Mughal Bengal empire. But the British has destroyed and looted everything from Dhaka city. Dhaka city was the capital of Mughal Bengal Province at the time of Mughal Empire. Kolkata city wasn’t existing at the era of Mughal Empire. It’s only the British who created the Kolkata city as their Capital of British India. Dhaka city was the most richest and the most expensive city in the world at that epoch of Mughal Empire. At that era it was the Golden Age of Bengal. The Bengal Province of Mughal Empire was responsible for 12% of the world’s GDP. At that time Bengal had the largest Economy in the world.

Mates, too easy for tsunamis and cyclones to attack, destroy and kill thousands.

We Indians were never hostile but those Pakistani who always attacked India First. They captured our land and till now they are ruling it by Force

0:00 What’s this video about my country? 0:01 ok let’s start

Adhivasi is literally the bengali word for 'Tribal people', not a catch-all term for all ethnic groups in the Indian subcontinent. We call foreign tribal groups adhivasi too as it is the literal word in our language.

3:05 You forgot one part, Bengal was partitioned in 1905 but united again in 1911 due to people's movement but in 1947 the country was divided in the name of religion due to re-introduction of religious hatred by British. Additionally, Bengal is not only today's West Bengal and today's Bangladesh, but in ancient times it was much more than that, including Arakan of Myanmar, Bihar, Odisha and the rest of northern states of India.

Please make a video of South Africa

Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️

1:36 "The area has been known for its cotton, silk and Jew production."😂😂

Bangladesh has the highest level of economic development in all of south asia

As a bangladeshi it really sucks to live in it tbh the country is to polluted & fallen down truly sad

Hi. I am from Bangladesh. I saw you added some Indian clips in this video.

I'm from Bangladesh and was subscribed to you for about an year.. I'm so glad you made a video about it.. Thank you so much 👍

"part of the country above sea level" m8 you have no idea how hard I laughed to that.

Success also involves extra sacrifice and sucess takes time to substantiate and settle down with many challenges.

How can it be good geography in a region with low lands, floods, rising sea levels, and no natural resources on top of that crazy density population?

dhaka seems pretty much as close to hell as you can get

Bangladesh has china and Russia in it's close proximity that allows it to be immune from the direct political intervention of western imperialist powers. Being at the heart of India also helps it's causes in terms of maintaining stability inside the country and keeping the Islamist radicals in Check. Neither, Russia, China nor India want problems in this region. As a result, Bangladesh is a safe country that will continue to grow economically. Also most of it's land area is fertile and it has many rivers that is a good source of variety of healthy fishes. There is no threat of food insecurity.

Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️🇮🇳

POV : you’re a Bangladeshi in your room chilling watching this in Dhaka .

One of the poor but richer than India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Myanmar 🤣 3rd richest in the region with per capita 3060 dollar est 2023

Well india took the whole of North east of bangladesh. It also stole west bengal and parts of bihar and orissa was also part of bangladesh

British has divided Bengal twice a time. One in 1905 and one in 1947. Not just West Bengal it was the part of Bengal or Bangladesh there are more like Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh and the Great Andaman and Nicobar’s Islands those all were the part of Bengal or Bangladesh but there are more but not at the same country of India but also in Myanmar’s States and Regions like Rakhine State, Chin State, Bago State, Magway State, Ayeyawady State, Yangon State. All of 6 states of Myanmar formed together the great Arakan state which was divided by British and Buddhists extremists from United Bengal or United Bangladesh. At the present the Indian States and the Burmese States was the part of United Bengal or United Bangladesh.

19:05 The east Bengal got Assam too and west Bengal got Oddessa and Bihar if I'm not mistaken.

Nowdays people wont understand what Bengal was And What this Sub Continent used to have If there wasn’t colonialism this subcontinent would’ve been greater than ever

Except for the rich soil, I don't see how Bangladesh's geography is too good.

4:52 "Wondrium has lotsa *Great Courses, Plus*..." I see what you did there. Two sponsorships in one

8:00 Absolutely 100% true

Still they produce more than 10-14kids in one family. With that much density.

Partition of Bengal was more driven by Indian wish rather than British or Pakistan British PM in 1947 Clement Attlee had briefed the US ambassador in the United Kingdom on June 2, 1947, about the plan to partition India. “A division of Punjab is likely,” said Attlee, but he added there was a “distinct possibility Bengal might decide against partition and against joining either Hindustan or Pakistan” MA Jinnah, the leader of the Muslim League, was not averse to the idea of partition of Bengali since, as he said in his talks with Mountbatten, “What is the use of Bengal without Calcutta”. However, the Bengal Muslim League itself pulled in every direction and most other elites of Muslim league( Pakistan movement party) wanted. Few other individuals wanted a so called United Bengal country. There was even a proposal in April, 1947 to stop partition of Bengal and conduct the partition of Muslim-majority Kashmir kingdom which was opposed 2-1 by India future PM-Nehru and King of Kashmir- Hari Singh Partition of Bengal was largely driven by Indian wishes as it did not want a ethnolinguistic country in Indian subcontinent.

Bangladesh : Has one of the most perfect geography Foreign invaders : And we took that seriously

As a Bangladeshi I can say we have a large amount of talented people who are crippled by corruption and oppurtinities. I always wanted to be an electronics engineer, guess what am I studying? Architecture. Even though now I have dedicated myself towards architecture, I doubt if it can carry my expenses day to day. Also the love for money and materialism is eating people alive!

Punjabi army be rubbing their hands now.. we miss you Bangladesh, from Islamabad.

Bangladesh is actually much better than India in terms of GDP per capita at 2800$ vs 2300$ 😄

As a Paradox player I have to agree with you

Before ppl start blaming the british for anything, a few facts: • Bengal was in decline when EIC took over •EIC was terrible, but direct British rule brough lots of good changes •Bangladesh today exists (partly) because the british divided it from West bengal. •Had it not been for that, we'd remain a servant of west bengal as it had been since mughal times.

Agriculture is a trap The Tropics are horrible बुद्ध buddha, as in put, nit boot

The video is good up to 7.24 and the ending is very abrupt. I think the preparer got overwhelmed or bored and just dropped it.

Where is geography man? I found economy

0:19 anything but the metric system

There have a lot of missing information
