The reality is they are an ally of Shining India and that’s what is boosting them. In our case, we are struck by terror. Pakistan has four neighbors, it is a conduit to western strategic interests in Asia (Iran, Afghanistan, India, China, and Russia). Both good and bad, this allows for the role of CPEC in motivating our economy. A lot of Pakistanis will be playing straw man on this. But this should not mean not having an army or if that it’s not important. Without our armed forces, we would be Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, etc. At the same time, we’ve essentially been under military rule for most of our history. That’s why the money led as a coalition support firm during Musharraf’s regime is seen cited as a positive indicator of a dictatorial rule. Even now we have a puppet government controlled by the army.
It is normal to see Bangladesh grow. They didn’t “create” industries. Most of them are foreign investments. But it’s not a big deal when a country is fighting a war against terrorism and Actual terrorists, unlike the west. It is normal to see the economy suffer.

ToggleBangladesh is an Autocratic Party State
Despite the current setup being autocratic, they have a stronghold on the institutions. The leading party in Bangladesh got rid of all opposition, media is not free at all, imports are very tight and only for essentials generally, and remitting money out is very very tightly controlled. According to HRW,
An independent and impartial commission should investigate the serious allegations of abuses in the Bangladesh elections” in which the ruling party won 288 of the 298 seats!

The main opponent Khalida Zia was sentenced to a decade in prison on corruption charges. She was twice elected as PM of Bangladesh. She is the wife of former military chief, dictator, and President General Ziaur Rahman who allegedly conspired to assassinate Sheikh Mujib and his entire family less than two daughters (one of them is incumbent PM). That meant putting the Army on the leash.
2) Bangladesh Constitutionally declared itself as a Secular State
I really fail to fathom how can this magic secularism really solve our problems. Bangladesh can go to hell for that, but they do have a non-confused position. The constitution of the people’s republic of Bangladesh, Article 2A “The State Religion” states:
The state religion of the Republic is Islam, but the State shall ensure equal status and equal rights in the practice of the Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, and other religions.
Let’s start worrying about our country and the problem it faces. I think the main reason is super corrupt and malicious politicians and cronies using religion as a playing card. Pakistan needs to leave the kidney that it is still a security state or a garrison state. Bangladesh was one when it began but they have grown up. Once Pakistan realizes the biggest threat to its existence is not India but religious extremism which shapes foreign interest in doing business then they might start moving forward. If being secular would help save Pakistan then be my guest and do it. But changing philosophical points of view won’t help if your workforce is still filled with corrupt individuals working for their own agenda. Bangladesh has executed the corrupt. Because of a vision.
3) Bangladesh Educated the Women of the Nation
Bangladesh leveraged/ exploited its Least Developed Nation status to get multiple benefits like access to textiles/ RMG sector and funding. The NGOs specially BRAC and others helped really educate women and get them into work, population control, and poverty alleviation. Women are becoming part of the gig economy. Following suit with Bangladeshi freelancers on Fiverr, Upwork, and where not.
