India reduces medical visas for Bangladesh

[liuzhengdong]

so how would you feel like if India occupies China and Chinese GDP under India is higher than Korea?

Does this justify occupation?

If India really had that ability, it would not have been ruled by the British for 200 years.

China has ruled Tibet for more than 300 years. The Indian nation was born only more than 70 years ago. Many places did not belong to India in history. There are more than a dozen separatist armed guerrillas active in India. Every year there are news reports of Indian soldiers being killed. The Indian government forces are more like an occupying force in some parts of India. Indians should reflect on themselves first.

Don’t know why you’re sad bro - look at his last 5 posts and judge for yourself. Does he do the forum or Indians any favours?

Sad to see this, hopefully the numbers of medical visas being issued can revert to the level prior to the removal of Hasina, obviously contingent on Bangladesh and India having good relations with each other which is an absolute must for us Bangladeshis in our national project to combat poverty. I think some of the more extreme anti-India rhetoric from some young people and others has subsided in the past few months so hopefully New Delhi and Dhaka can have better relations.

I am personally all for the increase of medical visas issued, not only to Bangladesh but also to Pakistan; these should not at any time reflect the standing of these respective countries in the eyes of the Indian External Affairs Ministry.

We can only hope that the situation will progressively improve, IF the bad behaviour and barbaric language of the young people in Bangladesh, who believe that they have achieved a great victory but extend their triumphalism to a friendly neighbouring country, is abated.

I am sure things will get back to normal in a few months.

I am hearing that India will implement profile based visas for Bangladeshis. It’s an extension of the way Pakistanis are handled.

Apparently, India will use AI to scour the internet for anti-India rhetoric. Not just the offenders but their extended family might also get barred.

Remember, India effectively runs most of the social media sites on behalf of US owned companies like Facebook and X. And have full access to private data.

@SoulSpokesman and @uksyl anti-India elements will just have to find another country. Hopefully it will be cheaper and better - as they claim.

On March 10, the first Bangladeshi medical mission to China arrived in Kunming, China.

Bangladesh has no option but to have friendly relations with India. Despite whatever issues Dhaka and New Delhi have with each other it's not like India nuked Bangladesh, which the US did with Japan and now they are close allies. India and China do billions of trade with each other despite having territorial disputes which have escalated into actual military skirmishes.

Aside from that I can understand why the New Delhi authorities might restrict visas to certain anti-Indian elements in Bangladesh but I don't think this should extend to family bans. I know people whose siblings are totally different people to them or even have enmity with each other. But on the other hand those extreme India-haters in Bangladesh can't complain too much because if they hate India so much why would they want to visit it and plus for every action there is a reaction.

Also I hope "anti-Indian" isn't extended to being anti current incumbent ruling party in New Delhi. Imagine Rahul Gandhi became prime minister and he banned anyone from Bangladesh who wasn't a fan of his party. Many in India and abroad are not fans of the current radical right wing extremist Hindutva party in power and Indian citizens have a democratic right to verbally express their disapproval of the current ruling party which I think Bangladeshis do as well.

The best way to marginalise the extremists is to deepen trade ties.

Bangladesh’s reliance on garments exports to EU/US - has put a floor on Islamism.

It means there will be a severe price for Mullah giri in everyday life.

Reliance on UN peacekeeping money has put a lid on martial law.

India needs to learn the lesson - if it too wants to illicit similar behaviour.

Anti-Indian behaviour can be eliminated with deeper trade and academic ties.

India should open Bangladesh branches for its IITs. Allowing students to do their final year in India.

Before our Bangladeshi Friends start ranting and go all gung ho about medical tourism in SEA and China just remember

1. China and SEA are about 3 to 5 times richer than both of our countries and their medical tourism industry caters to first world and 2nd world countries not us poor 3rd world folks

2. Yes their medical facilities are better (infact way better) than India but they will cost you an arm and a leg.
A simple knee replacement surgery costs 3000 dollars in India but 9000 dollars in China and this is on the low end

3. SEA countries are cheaper than China but not cheap enough for your average bangladeshi to be able to afford it.

For what it's worth Indian Hospitals provide good enough service at a cheap enough price that most people can afford it, So yeah good luck to you folks, this will not be pleasant at all

One of my relatives in law had knee replacement surgery on both legs last year, the full cost was 31,673.15CNY ($4,300), and after reimbursement from her health insurance she actually paid 4,705.49CNY ($640).






btw: China's urban residents pay about $70 a year for health insurance. Foreigners can also enroll.

Little to add to Joe's reply.

There is usual cavalcade of dimwits (on this thread of various baby out with bathwater brigade stripes) and hotheads/loudmouths that have hijacked things to degree they have out there in reality (making use of law+order dereliction and extremism that has inflicted in various corners inside BD)....at cost to the "normies" of both sides so to speak. It is reflected in its way (past delhi centre) and what say Didi in WB has been saying about the situation since her initial congratulatory message to Yunus govt in aug 2024.

Even with situation of Indian consulates tightening up in BD, there are I guess multi-year entry visas (already issued and continued to be honoured at Indian border as is) that many BDeshi's have and their continued travel to India even with drastic reduction to december level (around 50,000) would mean (if it holds as is) something like 6-7 times number of BDeshis that travel to PRC yearly....and whatever the total is for ASEAN et al too.

Bangladesh’s tourist arrivals in India drops

Bangladesh’s tourist arrivals in India during the concluded year 2024 dropped by 20 per cent compared to the previous year 2023 amid political rift between two neighbouring countries.

www.risingbd.com

Rebound wise to the prior 2 million per year level and then growth past that (and the core important stuff like medical that is contained within this) will happen slow or fast commensurate to what Joe describes ...the requiring toning down of anti-India radicals (that sorely want to wag the dog by its tail) offering room for Indian voices to pressure Indian govt to reciprocrate for the normie bulk dynamics "past politics" to return to better working order.

In the interim, BD has ~ 1 trillion USD wealth estimated by credit suisse, it will have to dip into (for the prioritized compelled reasons that are internal scarcity driven like medical) to see the current tensions through.

We will see what these numbers are this year later with the data...and how that correlates with the relationship dynamic reflecting more towards reality (dog wag tail) again.

What does the $70 cover. What’s the max claim per year?

In the U.K. I have private health insurance from Bupa and dental cover. It costs the company a fortune.

Whilst the dental cover is very comprehensive - health cover has too many holes.
