Nepal first to use Ctg port

[Avisheik]

Now Bhutanese also ?

How many of you guys have even interacted with Bhutanese or gone to Bhutan ?

I'm not mentioning Nepal because except the 1% pests called Maoists there is nothing different from Nepalis or Indians and hate is unknown among them.

p.s.: - Do you guys know that the Bhutanese and Nepalese actually don't get along very well ?

Why?

I think they are still using the calcutta port, together with cht port. Maybe they are following the old saying "Dont put all your eggs in the same basket"

Saner thought! Yeah they are just keeping their options open. Calcutta port probably costs them more than Chitangong, considering Calcutta is the 3rd busiest port in India.

Just a history lesson if some of you are interested.

The history of Chittagong port dates back to the fourth century B.C. Malayan history chronicles the journey of the sailor Buddha Gupta from Chittagong to Malaya in the 4th century B.C.[2] The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea documents the existence of Chittagong port in the ancient times. Chittagong derives its name from the Arabic word Shetgang (Shet means delta and Gang the river). The Arab traders considered Chittagong to be the delta of the Ganges.

Chittagong port has been mentioned in the works of Ptolemy, Fa-hien, Hieu-en tsng, lbn Battuta. This was an important port used by the traders from the Middle East, China, Turkey, Europe to trade with this part of the world.

During the 9th century the activities of the port increased tremendously as the Arab traders started using the port as their base port. They used to call the port "Samunda". The port was under their control at the time.

The 16th century saw the arrival of the Portuguese. Joaoda Silveria was the first Portuguese Captain to reach the port. He arrived with his ship “LOPO SOANA” in 1517. The Portuguese named the Port PORTE GRANDE (a great Port ). The records show that the Porte Grande offered easy access and safe anchorage to ships of 20 feet draught.

It remained a port during Moghul time. Later in early 19th century the British took control of the Chittagong port.The port of Chittagong became a natural outlet for the Northeastern regions of the then British-India that led to the enactment of Port Commissioner’s Act of 1887. At that time the facilities of the port consisted of five wooden and one pontoon jetties. In the year 1889-90 the port handled exports totalling 1.25 lac tons

Why?

Dude, Bhutanese people are kicking ethnic Nepalis out of their country.

I have talked with Nepalese citizens about their feeling towards India. They just hate india and the attitude of Indians. They say, because of the attitude of common Indians, young medical, engineering and BBA students prefer to go to Bangladesh to study instead of going to India.

Ya, I am sure you do.. Nepalis people are the only people near India that are allowed tp walk into India and work there and then go back to Nepal. This is common.

Stop embarrassing yourself

Foreign students prefer private varsities | PRIYO

A UGC report revealed that 1,589 foreign students were studying in Bangladesh in 2009 and of them, 1,199 were in 20 private universities out of 51 while only 390 in 14 public universities out of 31.
