Godi Media and Bhaktoras - "TERRORIST!"

This very line of thinking has been institutionalized in Bangladeshi academia and media, that military build up is bad.

That's probably because you are not in any imminent threat of an invasion so building up military for a confrontation that may never happen seem to be pointless. Any equipment say you purchase a Rafale or Typhoons, or large purchase will have a more service cost given the region you live is humid and damp or salty towards the coast. Overall you should however increase your defence spending from sub 1% to at least 2% to match up to regional and global standards.

Not too long ago we had to absorb a million refugee and looking likely to permanently absorb them into our population, just because we didn't have the military capability to stave off the Burmese, let alone India.

Are you still sure we don't have any imminent threat?

Threat from who and for what? The only scenario I see you get threats is unless you plan to invade Burma and settle Rohingyas in Arakkan region.

I don't know if you plan to do it, bold of you if you did it.

The other scenario is India, I don't think India is planning to give another nearly 150 million Muslims, Indian citizenship. Which finally comes to BD planning to do something to take over North East which you and I know is a joke.

Hence the skepticism.
