  • Wat da hell!!hw on earth m i gonna b alive ova there, when m about 2 go down there widin a month!!!God save me..:)

  • Dhaka wasn't as this 15 to 20 years ago. Due to over flood of poor village peoples it's lost all charm. In near future u can't even walk there. It's jam pack and dirtiest place in world.

  • @solynawaz To say it's the fault of "poor village peoples" is highly incorrect.Think about the thouands of high net worth firms in the private sector creating pollution and environmental degradation, which in turn have attracted people from outside for jobs. Also the wealthier are buying more cars and building homes creating a concrete jungle.

  • I hate how at 1.57 they say 'Dhaka is almost beyond help'. Since this was posted in 2008 many areas of Dhaka have alreday improved and some look more beautiful than where I live (Surrey, UK). It just needs really really hard work and lots of it, but the problem won't ever be eradicated but can be improved.

  • I just watched this video after watching "Singapore: Worlds Cleanest Country". Its amazing how some nations make the right choices. Some don't.

  • We need to improve our environment.

  • arent these ppl ashamed of this? for godsake at least stop breeding like rabbits in this shithole

  • Comment removed

  • we are now poor,dirty comparing to the developed countries but that doesn't mean we will remain so forever.We can't clean dhaka right now as it'll be dirty again because we are going through industrialization and now we are only giving our damn to economic stability,we don't have time think about environment..after 10-15 years we can clean everything...

  • @abc15800 Suree you will.

  • I just got back from Dhaka on a week long fishing trip. Using ice cubes for bait we managed to snag a skinny cow. I had it mounted when I got back to the States.

  • I think i kno now exactly y my friend came to America! So sad...;D he wont tell anyone though..

  • @skillcenter so if i were to offer you to live near Buriganga River for free or give you a free land in Canada, i know which one you will chose first. You will be the first one to re-populate Canada

  • nice flame war you've got going there.

  • @Turicus more of a fact they need 2 realise ..sylhetys are well istablished than any dhakays will ever cm near 2 ..

  • Why are you guys talking about airport? So polluting the natural fresh water river is OK to you guys and doesn't affect your dignity? LOL

  • @dominionist this dhakaya dicks dont wanna admith the truth ...that its a shithole !

  • @skillcentre im pretty sure you haven't been near buriganga river physically. you wouldn't be talking nonsense otherwise

  • @dominionist @dominionist everyone knows about the buriganga river. yea they are polluted. so wats the big deal about it??? u have different approach looking into things. looking back 50 years from now, i see canada filled with old people, and if not dominated by indians chinese and bd pple themselves. do u kno canada is already having negative birth rate, only immigration sustaining its growth. y is japan becoming belles everyday? think about 50 years frm now about bd bro. think big.

  • so dam true....crazy pollution over there(frm a bangladeshi)

  • imf forecasts the potential GDP growth rate of Bangladesh should be 10 percent whereas it runs in 6 percent aprrox. this is what i meant by.

  • brothers and sisters, for attacking sylhet or dhaka. bangladesh is impoverished country, but things are changing . pple of bangladesh are talented and smart. the private sector is doing well, and could have done way better than india,. problem is with our stupid govt based in dhaka, which i wont deny, and about which i can never be proud of. but of of bd, in dhaka chittagong, sylet are doing great , and please no disrespect to british american bangalis, we are indepandant enough to devlop own

    

  • @skillcentre nw thats something i agree on brother !

  • Comment removed

  • This is hilarious....the reporter claimed that Dhaka is becoming a dead city......while in reality...our exports rising by more than 25 percent each year,along with remittance,earning a combined total of 16+11=27 Billion US Dollars annually..and dhaka lies in the center of it all.There are currently 15000 buildings under-construction in Dhaka,of which,over 300 are skyscrapers(12-47 storied tall). They dont have time to cover that kinda news!

  • @mirzazeehan dude, thanks for your help. the growth dhaka is currently experiencing , i doubt very few cities are having in the north america. but nobody bothers to address the good side of bangladesh(except sylhet , lol), dhaka in particular. we are making the possible largest airport in south asia for serving dhaka near mymensing under construction, terminal 1 and 2 appearing in 2014-15, term 3 in 2020, expressways under construction, subway to be passed, pple here tallk about sylhet lol

  • @skillcentre what airport u talking abt ? its funny i think u had a dream or more like a nightmare ..lol well if it develops il be happy coz the current zia international airport looks like a run down tube station somewhere from the ghetto ....

  • @knas29 u dont read newspaper, dats y u dont know about the airport under construction. google, daily star new international airport mymensing proposed.

  • @skillcentre Your search - mymensingh international airport - did not match any documents.

    Suggestions:

    Make sure all words are spelled correctly.

    Try different keywords.

    Try more general keywords.

    Try fewer keywords.hahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahaa no such this as the so called biggest airport is asia ...brother no desrespect but lets drop this subject bangladesh well the corrupt goverment is putting the countrys wealth in there pockets and abt the booming indutsry its al privitised .

  • @skillcentre bro u have a dream like martin luther king yeah ..lololol if the british didnt build the current railway u bangladeshi wud have been travelling on donkeys or cows ..coz bangladeshis r not as smart as indians thats a fact ! so bro tell me when are we sending a probe to take pic of the moon or manned mission to the space , nuclear submarine ...or be a nuclear state like india ..?

  • @knas29 big to differ so much, bangla was one of the richest places, one of the most economically active places before the arriavals of the british. the indians(including banglalies) were ofcourse much detached from the western technologies, they failed 2anticipate the naval technology of the British(which british copied from portugese and many other) that led us being captive of the british. smartness is subjective. there has been survey, british pple beleive in aliens more than God.

  • @skillcentre and if u still beleive it is dream, then read solow growth model of advanced macroeconomics, which gives us an idea, dat rich countries come to halt(in growth) at a certain point(look at usa, uk and japan today,), its been ages since they went through the industrial revolutoin, ifone, microsoft, and toyota isnt gonna help them take to next level. poor countries keep developing until their entire population reaches a certain potential, and we have a huge population. look china.

  • @skillcentre let me rectify that is was sindh , nw india that the british invaded , we were known for poetry ..robidronath tagur is it n many more ..poetry is n easy option than going to space eh ? lol get the goverment out the current uneducated people running my country ..just wearing a suit dont mean ur smart they cant even speak english prop an indian rickshaw driver speaks better english that zia or hasina or alike .lol

  • @knas29 go and ask any bd pple who are upadated about the development in bd and u will know. type daily star new airport mymensing, daily star is the most popular english newspaper based in dhaka ofcourse, i hope u know dat. i dont understand what shit poetry sindh and govt u are talking, talked about solow growth model, solow is a famous american economist. m preety sure they teach his research in LSE and Oxford.

  • @skillcentre i hope this link shuts ur stinking mouth once and for all ..heres ur magic city ....nationalist !!!!!!! deadkha ...not dhaka !

  • @knas29 i dont know what stinking city you are talking about, all i feel is insecurity about being a sylheti. sylhet will always be an insignificant part of bangladesh, no matter how many clean chabagan you guys have, and we continue to represent the administrative, commercial, financial,educational, religious, cultural, entertainment centre of the country. MEGACITY Dhaka rules

  • @skillcentre now your talking like a 10 year old , no matter what the facts ive given you plus the video above says DHAKA THE SECOND DIRTIEST I NO U PISSED SHU HAVE BEEN THE 1ST DIRTIEST ATLEAST THE COUNTRY WUD HAVE ACHIEVED SM THING !!!!! if a country was nuked the outcome wud still look better than that shit hole .n yeah educational my ass ...wwhat have u produeced ..gave birth to corruption hala narwain ! will kill ur ass financially if sylhet n dhaka go 2 war ...thats a fact !!!!

  • @knas29 10 year old, haha, this is all you can say. you know i have given u facts, and all u can say is shit hole. ten year old, educational my ass, lol. well the biggest universities r in dhaka. Corruption is a feature of Capitalist country, it is not the only constraint. UK has corruotion inside its own parliament members, Gordon Brown, and entire USA is corrupted by a few people (i cant mention here in youtube)controlling worldwide politics and economics.

  • @skillcentre u fool what facts have u given that i cant get of google ? that dhaka is the second dirtiest city in the WORLD ,.fact ! fact no 2 ..bangladesh was in a row competeing against nigeria n pakistan as the most corrupted nation in the world ..dhaka a dead city ..didnt u get the memo ? nw go back to sleep n dream of a dhaka that u cant see in reality ...britain has corruption name sme ..like what ? atleast there country is developed they was asuper power etc

  • @knas29 which facts are u talking about, i gave u v good references. and u are giving me the same old shit, bd is poor, bd is dirty, since when did i deny that?? I said Dhaka owns Sylhet in every aspect, i dont care whether bd is dirty or corrupted, Beijing used to dirty at times, so where are they now? BD is just lower than nigeria and pak coz its relatively new country , but growing faster than the coutries u mentioned. Dude, optimistic pple look into the future, businessman looks into future

  • @skillcentre at least our streets and rivers arent filled with garbage and human waste, you brown people just multiply like rabbits and never do anything to make the world better except for slave labor, fuck you and your worthless culture

    and why do you live in canada if bangladesh is so great?

  • @LamboK28992 human waste, haha, canada was one of the targetted country in the last G8 meeting, Kyoto protocol, times and times for being a major polluter among the developed countries. so fuck you bitch. BD contaminates its own pple, but these industrialized bastards, canada us uk, has been contaminating billion dollar pollution for centurities today we ooor pplr get the price of it during floods, earthquake. There are millions of canadians who moved to usa, wat bout dat?

  • @skillcentre so are you planning on moving back to where you came from after you get your degrees from US and Canada...that makes no sense, we buy foreign cars but dont go back to a country where there are less economy than the US and europe

  • @LamboK28992 well i didnt say i am going back to usa or canada. but hey, who told u pple dont go out of their country. dude this is 2010, the world is v mobile. there are millions of americans working outside the us, for ex canada, europe, big financial centres of asia like honk kong, singapore, now dubai qatar, and many in iraq and afghanistan for war. anyways i have plans of going to bd and start my own business, potential of business is better dere than canada in my opinion,

  • @LamboK28992 i didnt move out of bd for better life. I am an international student at UOF Toronto. Unlike you, i dont take free bhika fromm goverment loan for studies. I bought my own education, thats y i m in canada, after 2 years, ill go to usa for my masters inshallah.. Its just like u buy a Japanese Toyota car, fucking bitch.

  • @skillcentre im not a sylhety bro im a bangladeshi get that thru your shit head ..plus theres nothing good abt bein dhakaya u was prob born in india n landed urself in dhaka sm hw ..it will take 10000 light years before we see any change in so called megacity ..thats was funny ! megacity my ass mega slum bro ..

  • @mirzazeehan well it is what it is ..aint it ..are you blind ? the vid is in clear evidence ...

  • comparing dhaka with sylhet is like comparing london with southhampton. which one do u prefer, that is your choice. but if you say southhampton should be the capital, the pple will think u need to do some psychological rehabitation. likewise syletis here claiming sylet shud be the capital of BD, shud really show a doctor. the other stereotype . syletis from britain dont run our country. highest earning foreign currency is garments export over 13 billion us, based in dhaka and chittagong .

  • @skillcentre well u didnt get my memo ....sylhet aint the dirtiest city in the world plus il accept the fact that its rishka city ..y dont u accept the fact that dhaka is a shit hole ..!!! n yeah sorry for swearing @ mum ..its not our nature to desrespect /! france is known for ifle tower ...britain for tower of london ..n so have al the countrys of the world what have we got ..dont even sat dhaka ..! plus theyre a nuclear state that proves they have the brains unlike us eh ??

  • @knas29 sylhetis are rich than average bangladeshi, that can be accepted, but since sylhet is my country i will give them suggestion. Sending money from uk wont help, it is still a chabagan city, the world 2010, and sylhet needs to develop major industries, lets say textiles, pharamaceutical, (tourism is growing), or IT. ITS ZERO, sry to say. valuable sugg:FIRST THING, get a strong sylheti politican, make new laws, sylet needs roads,power, not pounds. DUBAI is sensation , wat r u saying?

  • all the jobs u mention abt sylhety londoners thats wrong sorry u get no points ....these jobs are taken by the so called influx of dhakaya students . what can u say nw theyre hardly studyin . theve come for a better future here in uk what they cant get in dhaka , P !!!!! nw go 2 sleep n dream of hasina and zia

  • Bangladesh needs Decentralised, only solution for Dhaka, Instead of making Dhaka a worlds largest slum visible from space; BD gov should Equally distribute the national wealth amongst all 7 Division and develop those cities as well, so that will take allot of pressure from Dhaka.

  • @jalalimastan BD goverment is trying to develop other areas.. but u shud know its not easy to do it in one night. so far, infrastructure is being built in other parts as well. but dat doesnt goverment shud stop spending in DHaka, coz dat will be stupid. Businessess and industries are already established here, and it is booming, reducing funds all of a sudden will be slap to its growh.

  • @skillcentre so when did you start to speak on behalf of the bangladesh goverment ? the country is sinking in poverty one thing is a fact that dhaka would always remain to be a shit hole . have u been there ? i have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @knas29 @knas29 have i been there, hahaha. i am a bangladeshi by blood, and by passport, by origin , by birth, i m a student here in canada. i know everything, shit hole, aha dats your perspective. i am not speaking on behalf of the goverment, i dont support awami leage, in fact i hate their policies , esp their constant attachment, act of slavery to INDIA. what i m saying is its not true things are not changing,. keep an eye on dhaka in 2050, it will own london.

  • @skillcentre a least your honest, and have come to agree that we do haveproblems but whas the point of govermet investing solely in dhaka and the rest 7 divisionsi take it have been built on foreign remittence so the bangladeshi people who live abroad have more money than your goverment can produce , people bost of gulshan in dhaka its a junk yard ive seen it nothing to be proud of plus dhaka ownin london ill take tha as a joke ......

  • @knas29 owning dhaka was metaphoric, dont take it literally, what it means is that, it is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, dont beleive me, google it..If you check land prices, converted to US dollar average dhaka land prices is currently higher than MUMBAI, higher than Delhi, Way above Karachi,,dhaka used to be lower than all. its true , prices are inflated, but on the other hand its also sign of growth,dhaka stock exchange was 25 billion in cap, today double in just 5 years.

  • @skillcentre i guess your turning a blind eye to the vid above ...we are the poorest country with the capital lookin like a slum with high rise flats , and land prices anywhere u go are risining that dont mean anything . accept the fact ! let the country as a whole develop not just dhaka . its a dead city as it says on the vid now stop acting like a fanatical nationalist n move on with your life ...dhaka will always remain a shit hole .!!!!!

  • @knas29 land prices are rising everywhere? haha where do u live bro? NYC,london or anything richer? new york land prices went down, lol. u didnt get my comparison, i didnt say land prices growing is good/bad, i inflated higher than mumbai, and LAND prices are (not the most perfect)sign of economic growth. MORE MONEY= More price of wealth. dhaka might remain shit hole, well NYC has more shanties ,pollution dan seatle, if dhaka remains shit hole, but continues to have boomig business,i dont mind.

  • @skillcentre i am not fanatical, i m optimistic about our country, i think like businessness pple , unlike loosers like u, who find bad at everything, dey never think big, dats y they never shine.

  • @skillcentre hey man i havent said anything abt my status so making a judgment on whos a winner n loser ..i can clearly c that ..the propertys we own in london if we sell can buy half of your dhaka town u no ..atleast sylhet has been built on foreign remmitence ..we have more registered millionares than ur shit hole dhaka has . unlike that theif tariq zia stealing a nations money ...i gurantee u that by the time dhaka has the chance no it wnt hapen to look like dubai imam mehdi will be out !

  • @skillcentre u bloody blind or something ..TAKE A LOOK AT THAT VID ...its frustating to see dumbos like u comin on here and talking nonsense , here we have in plain truth the condition of that country well dhaka for that matter...land prices higher than mumbai ...u no what angers me is u dont realise hw dumb our nation is in the sights of the world , when they here bangladesh the mental image u get is of floods and shitheads like u charming snakes ! india on da ada hand is a nuclear state ...

  • @skillcentre continued .....the have a space programme n if wern for them ud still be called a pakistani ...u trying to say land prices in dhaka is more than london or nyc ...or even mumbai .man u insane .u talk abt nyc a city in usa a nuclear state who spends 500 billions on defence ur comparing ur shithole dhaka eiv that ..ur a joke . do ur studys n go bak to dhaka n earn ur 5 thousand taka a month n live happily or start fishing opn the toxic rivers of dhaka near rampura ...

  • @knas29 omg, u are fucked up, dont be so proud about being syleti londoner, i know them, dey all work in grocery shops, mcdonalds, weighter, sweeper, taxi driving jobs, few owning flop bangla restaurents. dhaka has its own class of business people, and not tarik zia, (very stupid stereotype),and comparison with dhaka and london is like the stupidest thing ever, i talked about MUMBAI, karachi, dude. and about the land price growth, please use your sense.

  • @skillcentre i no the truth hurts ...u dick ! £ 5 billion curry industry and growing all owned by sylheti thank you ...check hw much was sent during the preveious years this money doenst cme from sweeping the steets even that pays more than any of your top bankers in dhaka u dumb fuck ..dhaka city is a dead city what the fuck u dont undertsnd ..im nt saying anything its this vid . past generation have gone new generation gettin the best results in uk we have top marks on exams . ....

  • @skillcentre plus dhaka will look like ur ass hole no matter what ..ive been to dhaka bro n ur talkin abt what buisness class ...but rem one thing if anytime this is justa fairy tale thought if sylhet n dhaka goes to war will beat ur ass anytime financially ! ur a poor country ..go n chek moulvibazar ..its the next big thing ! and where u from originally u dick cause ive got freinds from dhaka plus i live there aswell but dont support the ongoing shit like status ...as for sylhet theyer 2 rich !

  • @skillcentre Mate you clearly are a confused child, 95% of Bengalis in UK are Sylheti and us Sylhetis have built a history in London, we are one of the most successful ethnic group in London, the curry industry contributes a big number to the UK GDP, some of us send money back to Sylhet hence the reason Sylhet is catching up Dhaka very fast and others buy expensive properties and business. Only reason the government think Bengalis are poor in UK is because we dodge paying tax and vat.

  • @BengaliSHOTTA i didnt say syletis dont own anything, i got friends in london, int students, and dey tell me syletis are poorer than general whites and the indians. sylet is not catching up dhaka anyday. first of all, dere is no stock exchange in sylet. forget that, name me a big industry sylet is based with, except remittance. DHAKA got the biggest Banks, Bangladesh Bank, ISlami, AB,HSBC, CITI financial, etc, biggest real estate, Jamuna Bashundhara, Multi: Grameen Phone, garments is dhaka.

  • @skillcentre sylhetis are poor il take that as a joke . the last food parcel ur mum n dad had during the flood was paid my or contrabuted by my tax money ! come here in london n see 4 urself . n yeah in islam or allah swt says those who discriminate on grounds of race colour n riches they will perish ..like u dhakayas or dhaka ...look @ the state of your city ..i cant undertsnd what part u dont see the slums ..the toxic rivers behind so called hsbc bank ..wow ..its such a big thing in it ?

  • @knas29 now u are changing the topic failing to argue, u argued sylet shud be capital, and i proved sylet does not even come close to dhaka wen it comes to business, politics, infrastucture(roads and highways) and wealth( the rich class), haha u pple are so stupid, u guys think british expatriates are running the country, dude, come to Dhaka and see its growth. 40,000 pound is nothing, haha, omg, i live in toronto, a downtown toronto 1500sq feet 40 storied condo costs 250 k,

  • @skillcentre buisnes in dhaka wot u chattin , garment factories n match box factory , child labour ...bro if theres a 1 magnitude earthquake al ur shitty goverment building will collapse ..im sure ur mum can shake her tits n drop jaws ,,as well as sme blocks 2 go wiv it .u started this m8 i didnt mention any famaly until u did ! played the lottery hopin 2 win if so gonna by dhaka all of it ..n evict u .hw come u dont talk abt the shit smell in dhaka ? open sewage ? highway wiv a lane 4 coes ?

  • @knas29 haha, i didnt talk about my mom, u told me about sis, sry for hurting your feelings, dont cry little baby. although we got more rapists in dhaka, dey wont touch her body, dont worry i have connections here, lol. i was joking though. sry to fire you. anyways what u are talking is so hypothetical especially those words , "if" , NYC is also the one of the dirtiest American city, so is MUMBAI in INDIA. Sylhet is a village of chabagan also called riksha city, thats the bottomline.

  • @skillcentre agree bro ..sylhet is a shit hole ..nw u agree to dhaka is a twice the shithole atleast sylhet was built on forehn money ..dhaka the so called capital ..al privitised companys ..goverment doesnt even own the bloody train service ..wot u on abt ...what does goverment mean look into the english dictionary ..not bangla !

  • @knas29 i dont know about uk, but US millatary is under the administration of goverment, but majority of the millitary items like jets, submarines guns are supplied and produced by private businessess in the US, and they proudly call it the most privatized nation in the world. if u say railway privatized, i wud say thank u, but its not. railway is not owned controlled by any private, its called bangladesh railway. most industrialized nations are run by private business, same in BD, dnt kno wat

  • @skillcentre @skillcentre children playing on toxic waste that runs under there homes ? wow what a capital ....wonder if sylhet has that wud love 2 see that

  • @skillcentre Also Dhaka is a shit hole mate, Sylhet should be the capital city of Bangladesh, your accents are fucked up and your city is dirty. Sylhetis are clearly the richest Bengalis in Bangladesh and abroad, most of the buildings in Dhaka are owned by the government, not individuals. Remember it's because of us Sylhetis, Bangladesh is improving because of te multi-million pounds and dollars that we send from UK ans USA. Fuck Dhaka, Sylhet Zindabad!

  • @BengaliSHOTTA totally agree brother , thes people are finding it hard to accept the fact that not only sylhet as the main town but the holiday homes that are bein built in villages in sylhet region are way better than of dhaka .

  • @BengaliSHOTTA most of the buildings owned by the goverment,. hahahaha. and hey, highest remittance comes not from sylet, it comes from saudi arabia, den comes kuwait. i know about my country more than u bilati. Buildings owned by GOVT!! Name me the biggest multi national company of BD? Grameen Phone: Headquartered bashundhara gulshan, dhaka. Biggest local group: BEXIMCO group: Offices headquarted dhaka, Ownere Salman Rahman, close 500 US asset dhanmondi residence, biggest real estate: jamuna

  • @skillcentre we talkin abt individuals from sylhet u dick ...are worth far more than any of your big companys u just named ...well my sister inlaw bought some land in basundra for £40,000 for that in the uk u get a nothing ..maybe a small corner shop and look u getting freehold sithole land in dhaka . bro dont forget its called peoples republic of bangladesh u dont fucking own the country nore do those bitches ..no matter what we say here its not gettin thru 2 u ...earth to dick head ova n out !

  • @knas29 u re gay man. 40,00 pound is shit money. Babul(owner of Jamuna oil, Jamuna Mall, real estate, maker of largest south asian mall in dhaka) has unofficial a BIllion dollar asset ( BILLIONAIRE) residence GULSHAN, dhaka, okay. He can literally buy your sister , bet ur sis wont deny, jk. Right now owning and making a 3000 sq home at GUlshan will cost MIN 4 Million dollar .google dhaka real estate online, banani appartments are selling 18000 tk per sq feet 2009, from 9 thou in 2004.

  • @skillcentre i dont think u understand english man ..£40,00 pound is what it cost to buy a large chunk of land in so called posh dhaka ..y the fuck u cant understand and look @ that video n what they saying ..one things for sure sylhet is not the dirtiest city in the world ...and abt that rich man i think he's making ur mum dance (mujra ) n giving her a double penetration while we argue ...4 million my ass in a shit hole... bro ive been 2 gulshan nothing major .!

  • @BengaliSHOTTA u are the biggest ignorant looser in bangladesh. sylet can never come second potential to be the capital, becoz they dont even have a single 4 lane road, lol. their population is 1/10 of dhaka, and not a single multinational or local corporation is headquartered in sylhet. Not a single university, or a big cricket/football stadium. nothing. as far as richest is concerned. Shah Alam(Bashundhara), Babul( Jamuna group) , Salman Rahman (Beximco), billionaires based in dhaka

  • I'm a Bangladesh.... I request every major environmental protection society in the world help us to overcome this situation and to find a clean Dhaka.... pls...

  • @firoserose2007 sorry mate, you have to do it yourself. the reason behind the pollution is none other than the people of Dhaka themselves.

  • @firoserose2007 why? 80% of Bangladesh's GDP is spent on dhaka, all other parts of bangladesh is left to fend for its self.

  • dakhar saathe amar mane amader anek sentiment joriye.. plz kichu koro , dhaka k bachao.. my mother's birth place

  • The problem is that the people who adminstate this country are the same filth-loving-sewage-playing-di­rty-ass people.  Want to clean a place up? find ppl who know how to BE CLEAN and put them in charge.. its that simple.

  • dakhar saathe amar mane amader anek sentiment joriye.. plz kichu koro , dhaka k bachao.. my mother's birth place

  • simple solution of all the problems...we have 2 reduce the population, our grandparents had 11kids, that dose not mean we all have to make football team. government sud create awareness among the ppl by not only educating them but also enforcing some rules n regulations. may allah bless my country.......i know WE CAN

  • If Dhaka, the second dirtiest city in the world ,yours is number one, cause you did not see the world yet, I saw .

  • I go to Bangladesh every few years or so..I just recently went in december 2009..im not from Dhaka though I'm from East bangladesh-Sylhet but we visit Dhaka ..and you really can tell the difference, when you go to Dhaka its very polluted and congested. I hope it will get better in years to come, insha allah.

  • Why simple not, all this people move and migrate to Australia and American countries? Open borders! Free immigration now.

  • i agree with hobgoblin1216 bangladesh will improved very significantly in the comin years. bangladesh might be really poor right now but it is destined for greatness. it is expected that by 2050-2060 bangladesh economy is set to surpass economies like malaysia. bangladesh has tons of potential to be an economic powerhouse... n i believe that it is only a matter of time. bangladesh is indeed destined for greatness in the near future.

  • when you go to banladesh,the poor kids are very respectful unlike in the west they are lethal so who should really adopt the one child policy, and wealth is not wealth when you are not content .

  • Bangldesh is nice country and Bangali are hard working, they should adopt china's 1 child policy.

  • @NAVEED33 when you go to banladesh,the poor kids are very respectful unlike in the west they are lethal so who should really adopt the one child policy, and wealth is not wealth when you are not content .

  • naveed, bangladesh might be poor, but when it comes to adopting china one child policy, i can only say Bangladesh is way up when it comes to human rights issues. We dont want to be murders, and besides we are a muslim country, we dont kill out children as by the la

  • i wish i can help them...

  • @dayunyor19 me too

  • @dayunyor19 start donating .....

  • I love my city chittagong. I hate dhaka. Very dirty and crowded and criminals everywhere.

  • I don't understand why a lot of Bangladeshi's take this video as being anti-bangladeshi. This is a very typical response in Bangladesh. We prefer more of ad-hoc approach rather than logical step by step problem solving. Its good to be an optimist, but at the same time you have to accept that yes we do have problems that needs immediate attention such as this!

    This video shows a real problem Dhaka city is facing. The good things you see in Dhaka will disappear if things go the way it is.

  • @dominionist

    Because we r in the United States and we feel bad when our American friends will watch video.

  • @dominionist we are not complaining about accepting the reality, imagine a child who has good qualities in sports is always complained by his parents that is good for nothing, coz he is bad in studies. If nobody credits for his sporting abilities, and keeps fingering at his weakness, what he will go through. Well BD is not a child, thats we are not gonna keep quiet, We will defend our dignity. Yes BD is underrated everywhere, thats my point.

  • Shame on this negative reporting of Aljazeera! Shame on their video! Every city has their own problem. So, being one of the most densely populated cities in the world , Dhaka has probs too, but none can ignore its beauty and rich cultural heritage!

    Shame one the reporter, seems she is looking for cheap popularity by showing cheap reports selliing poverty, sorrows, pity of the peoples!

  • @bokul08 shame on you for not admitting the fact ive been there and haved lived there 4 2 weeks and its a shit hole or worse , fact sylhet is made on money from overseas and dhaka being the capital on bd is no way near sylhet thats a shame the curry industry which is a 5 to 7 billion pounds industry in uk makes more money and profit than our countrys so called gdp ...now thats a SHAME !!!!

  • Wondering leaving so many beautiful places in Dhaka, u chose to visit the SHIT HOLES of the city.... so far i know shitty things are only fond of and so look for shit holes!

    Also wondering from which city u r from.... is it somewhere in earth!

    also

  • you fuking dhakya bstardz.. all ur mothers r cheap whores.

  • now no need to swear my brother ..theyre fools yes ! but lets not direspect there mother ..

  • @knas29

    who is comparing dhaka with dubai,, are u idiot, u shud learn english before making such comments. I talked about the rapid growth ,(GDP growth ) of Dhaka... GDP growth does not refer to being rich over night, idiot, and does not even mean thousands of tall skyscraper construction and extravagant hotels ,neither does it mean pple are rich.. New YOrk worlds richest cities, had negative growth..Study english then economics,,..

  • @skillcentre never mind the gdp i no what that means and as for english got A* unlike you mate trying to stick up for a dirty city and a corrupt goverment , my village toilet is more cleaner than your so called city and if you need a lesson on economics then ill get you the facts and bangladesh and a good topic to start with . dhaka or even sylhet if something is a fact just like that vid then u shud accept it , ive been 2 dhaka it a shit hole ...sorry !!!

  • Comment removed

  • @knas29 never mind the gdp!!! well u were wrong, now u shud admit, i dont care wat u are saying, i never said dhaka is rich, i said u lack general economics knowledge, esp regarding gdp. A in english is a good thing, but u do general logic, or common sense while arguing, coz as far as i remember u were comparing dhaka with dubai, and now wat u are arguing is completely irrelevant. A in Dubai is B in Dhaka, lol dont forget dat. i have friends coming here in toronto from dubai, i know dem.

  • seems ur mother has taught u such language to talk about others mother...

    feeling pity for the woman who gave u birth... and for the city u belongs too....

  • Dhaka Sucks, Even my my friends from bangladesh don wanted to call them Bengalis lol...so poor

  • i rather live in filth than get blown up by a brainwashed bearded low-life savage. How many people died in Pakistan this week? 80? 120? mostly children. im afraid you are not living in a Pure Land ( Pakistan)

  • In Sydney almost after Every Friday Jumma I see the Paki peoples are begging money and seeking support for their Terrorist country! That time I really feel pity for them! What a stupid, self-respectless and heartless terrorist nation!

    Also feel blessed now we are not part of Pak and happily enjoying freedom and democracy!

  • @paki943

    e paki,, stop calling us poor, look at your own place , then talk . Paki Ruppe is 84 US dollar, and Bangladesh TAKA is 69,, your Pakistan is done with terrorism,, Dhaka stock exchange was way poorer than Karachi 5 years back, now the volume of trade is almost same, 10 years later, we are gonna buy companies textile industries in your terrified Pak,, Pakistan is over, its economy is crashing.

  • A Nuclear country can't die ever, the economical crash here is becuase we are spending 60 % of your GDP on defence, millitary, because we had threat from INDIA from last 60 years and USA is our neighbour, playing a bloody anti-muslim war, so we are struggling for else a lot which bangladesh is not.

  • we know we hv some problem in our country, its so small in size with a bigger population, u can't blame a city like this and don't dare to call it dirty, being a Bangladeshi we love our country, we love our capital.Yes, we hv pollution problem, but doesn't mean u can insult us this way, u hv not shown any nice thing of Dhaka, only shown the bad sides, so u r totally biased.Who gave u the right to title the video like this hell? u thought by hurting our feelings, more ppl will watch the video?

  • fuck this video and all of you who dont like dhaka. Do you know Dhaka is also one of the fastest growing city in the world, alongside big cities like Dubai . It may have problems, but I dont think it will ever become dead city,,these are challenges Dhaka will meet as our economy grows..

  • no sane person will compare the growth of dhaka to dubai are u fucking crazy man ???

  • I think the Bangladeshis would take that as an insult. Only the SECOND dirtiest city in the world?!

  • "A worrying situation for 11 million residents in Dhaka.."

    Hardly! Because whenever you bring about the topic of solid waste management people will give you a blank face. Everyone in Dhaka has become a "superman". They will accept it as a part of life even if you throw garbage at them.

  • @dominionist

    11 million is a problem, but management is the greater problem in my opinion rather than population, cities are supposed to grow big in population talk about New York London, and our ones like Mumbai, Cairo, Rio De Janiero Karachi, and co.... Its the nature of all fast growing mega cities..Dhaka economy has done remarkably well over the past years.. Corruption pollution whatever it is, businesess have grown and is growing faster than ever

  • @itismydream: Wow! Listen Lady I know you have nothing to do in your little life that's why you go around bothering others. Your such an immature freak! My name is none of your business you lesbian. I don't have time to argue with you, you're not even worth it, so I'm done here! Oh and by the way now everyone can see that your a racist always comparing black and white! Good bye and good luck!

  • This suks man!..an now its actually beyond control..:(

  • @44Canadian girl and itismydream: WOW, i know this is none of my business, but could you learn to settle down?

  • @itismydream: In case your dumb bullhead hasn't noticed, being a citizen is considered a Canadian!!! Yeah I get it your just jealous. What are you doing on Youtube anyway? Get the hell outta here!

  • @itismydream: learn to fuck off you shit headed mother fuckin piece of shit!

  • @itismydream: What's your problem? I gave my opinion. Mind your own business you dickhead! Fuck off!

  • if dhaka is second who is number 1?

  • BAKU, Capital of Ajerbaizan!

  • I live in Dhaka and yes I hate it! No matter, I'll be moving back to Canada soon enough. And I hope Dhaka gets more polluted than it already is! This stupid country is gonna sink anyway!!!

  • what a canadian girl do in Dhaka? i supposed to stay for a week, but i got out on the 3rd day. Dhaka is like hell!

  • I know right! Goddamn! I hate Dhaka, I'm a child and I'm being forst to live here by my stupid parents!

  • I am an Indian, all I have to say is give Bangladesh some more time. Within 30 yrs they have a Nobel Laureate, deaths due to cyclones in BD is now history (I guess BD has one of the best storm mgt), BD's population is now lower than Pakistan's which shows that their birth control measures r 1 of the best. All this pollution is due to sudden economic growth. Even London was also polluted during industrial revolution. BD will overcome this matter also in a matter of few years.

  • Its interesting because on the pricewaterhousecoopers website there is an article called "Beyond the BRICs: updated global growth projections to 2050" its an update from there previous article that that came out a few years back and claims B'desh will be a major league economy by 2050.. (",)..shocking!! but I guess this all this pollution is a side effect

  • i dont think thats gonna happen. reason is; population is growing Much much faster than economic development. so sad.

  • You need a big population for economic development. Quality and quantity of consumption determines eco dev. UK n other countries needed colonies n big populations to dev eco. In India we thought our big population is a curse n China 1 child policy is a blessing. Now the reverse is proving 2 b true. India in near future will have maximum population in working age whereas China n western countries will have maximum ppl who r retired n r on pension. I c BD n Srilanka as 2 dark horses like Vietnam.

  • @hobgoblin1216 Exacty.........

  • @hobgoblin1216 Good to know you think like that! Its massive encouragement for us!

  • @hobgoblin1216

    All BD need this time is an honest ruler. there is no hope for BD as long as the conflict between the political parties prevail.

  • @hobgoblin1216 well said bro. even london was polluted and is still fighting to curb carbon emission according to Kyoto protocol.

  • @skillcentre london was !!!! ...well said ...u see the bottom line is if dubai was hit by an atiomic bomb it still wud look better than dhaka ..ive been there n have cuzzins from there ..n its a total shit hole was disgusted to see the scenery ...yuk!

  • @knas29 u are quarelling about. chidren playing on toxic is the problem of poverty, which ofcourse i cannot deny, everyone knows we are a poor nation, y are u comparing dhaka with dubai. syhlet ofcourse shud have less of pollution and health hazards, however that does not make it more valuable than dhaka. i wanted to address the misconcep surrounding the sylhetis , as if they run our country, which is not, and alhumdulillah i have prooved them wrong.

  • Oh wow, what a terrible place to live- it reminds me of London during the industrial revolution. Now Asia and Africa are going through what western society went through in the 18th century, only this time there's cameras rather than just drawings...

    I hope that Dhaka- and other places polluted as badly, no matter what part of the world it's in- are seen to and cleaned up. No human being should live like that.

    Peace.

  • who cares? Bangladesh sucks big time!

  • these fuckin sileti madarchods need 2 die soon cuz the population of bangladesh is rising 2 fast and sylhet happens to be the scum of bangladesh . u fags r a waste of space.dhaka is full of whores?rats? look whos talking.dirty ass sylhetis are saying this.u village bainchods cant evn speak bangla.look at this nigga under me : sylhet3132 khankir pola if u dnt lyk dhaka go baq 2 ur 4th world dirty broken down shithole village.u dnt evn hav a sewage system

  • My friend recently came back from desh and said.. they got lots of fancy buildings & cars in dhaka all the trappings of a modern city.. very nice eh?.. But he also saw people are still openly defecating in the streets.. WTF!! in 2009..? Bottom line is bro, our people as a whole are generally very unclean, its bad habits and lack of basic hygene.. thats the sad truth, so dont go thinking you dhakhiya people are so high and mighty coz you aint.. LOL..

  • yes i actually agree but i also recently went and i kno that there is a lot of poverty but ppl dnt openly defecate on the street unless their trying to or if their broke . look at wat those other fags commented . ask ur friend if he saw any of those things .

  • the problem r true but we people need to help each orther to improve things im not shame of my country but i am wen its come to politicians uneducated ministers. in my country maney makes pm, am wat ever u want to call it after all its my people we well never be apart form it no matter how bad we struggle we bangali

  • dhaka is a mega brothel city ,

    only prostitute pimps and rats are the true inhabitants of the city.

  • Dhaka is a dirty filthy city wiv full of whores.. sooner you all dhakya mother fukerz die the better.

  • uncivilized monsters couldnt even write let alone formulate any kind of history. if bangladesh was so rich in powerful how were they destoryed by a few britsh, thousands of miles from their home? your peoples heads were in your ass back then an it the same thing today. Maybe if you would stop being corrupt money hungry wannabe westerners you could actually make plans to fix your shit hole instead of blaming everyone else for your retarded incest culture.

  • lol filthy westerner sounds like you are jealous. tell me then how come your on a western made site typing english yet you hate us so much but then conform to our culture? I see your head is still in your ass. By contend with Western countries i mean be almost, eual, or greater than in influence, wealth, culture, education or anything and lol Bangladeshi is deff not that country. Bengal richest is the world? please man there is not history of bangladesh before British rule because you

  • theres a state funding mosque going up by my house as we speak. How about spending that money on something more important? Makes sense to me but then agian im just a westerner. Oh and as for learning about these third war countries perhaps you should ask around Bangladesh is unheard off by most people not like theres many sources of information out, and if there is its all from western point of views which are bias. Perhaps you should study countries that matter and apply what you learn to yours

  • im not moving my tounge im actually typing, and muslims are muslims by name because they want to incorprate islam with everything and it obviously does cause porblems if it didnt the most powerful nations would have never seperated state and church. I have been living in Dhaka for 10 months now and have met many banglideshi political figures and yes they are muslim and yes the government is muslim. Anyway i was not blaming all the problem on religion just as something i seen that should be fixed

  • dumb christian, it's just the christian nations that separated 'church' and 'state'. as it says already one needs to separate 'church' and 'state'. it doesn't work and needn't work for islam and muslims.

    throughout history, muslim countries that lived the most islamic lives, under most correct religious rulings, flourished. Same holds true today.

    Because Bangladesh, Turkey, indonesia, or egypt are secular, they are backward compared to Saudi Iran or even less islamic countries like UAE qatar

  • So out of the 25 countries 13 have a majority religion of muslim and the top 2 are both muslim, so i dont understand if muslims preach cleanliness then why are over half of the top dirtiest cities muslim? Also i dont have a probelm with islam besides the fact that they are unable to seperate religion from government. I have a problem with them wasting money on stupid shit like mosques while their children have no welfare system. even from youtube you cannot seperate relgion islam is in your name

  • You're clearly misinformed about the nature of Muslim societies, majority of the Muslims are Muslims by names. They merely follow the outwardly traditions of the religion and neglect the principles and the crede. Bangladesh government is not Islamic just like majority of the governments in the Muslim world, so saying Muslims can't separate religion from government is stupid. They are unislamic to begin with.

    This is a problem created by years of ignorance and corruption not because of religion

  • now christian, where did u pull this fact out from? from your favourite region, where you like to position your head and assume everybody else has a habit of doing the same? from your arse?

  • sexiest you need to pull your head out of your ass. maybe if there were any countries to contend with "western countries" you would get another point of view, but no your to busy praying to allah and building mosques while your people suffer. Such is the case in Bangladesh where the mosques are build all the time but when i ride down the street theres a million beggars half of them children banging on my car window. How about your time trying to fix your broke ass country and less time praying

  • I don't know why your after the mosques and prayer. Where in fact prayer teaches cleanliness.

    You have allergy with Islam. that is your problem and that's why you are blaming Islam for every thing. Pathetic!!!

    Who is ruling the country now? And who used to rule. Where they Mosque builders? I am sure most of the rulers didn't even pray one time a day.

    Another point, if praying and building mosque was the reason Muslim countries should have been listed on the top 25.

    google the dirties cities .

  • You're the only idiot in here. Perhaps you should learn about history of these 3rd world countries and the nature of its societies before you move that ignorant tongue of yours.

  • chris, i am not a filthy homosexual westerner, so it's just you who had his head in his 'ass' in the first place.

    i don't even understand what you mean by 'if there were any countries to contend with 'western countries'...". Make clearer statements.

    as for poverty in dhaka, it's again due to british and anglo terroristic actions caused by western lecherous hypocritical incestuous nature. before british went to bengal, it was richest in world.

    so chris, u need to pull your head out of ur ***
