Gowher Rizvi On India-Bangladesh Ties, Illegal Immigrants Issue | India Today Conclave East 2018 

I know so many Indians working in middle East with Bangladeshi passport.

I am a bengali from wb i can mentally connect with bangladeshies more than indians from other regions of india.

We are economically strong enough to feed 17 crore people. There is no single bangladeshi illegally in India. But more than 1 million indian live in bangladesh to earn money and send money to their nation to feed their respective family. Bangladesh is 5th remittance earning country for indian according to indian govt.

I just love the way how Mr. Rizvi handle the issue. Other hand, It seems to me the host doesn’t have enough knowledge about the issue he is addressing.

Ashamed as an Indian but proud to be Bengali.

Gowher Rizvi speaking with class and elegance like a true Bangladeshi 🇧🇩

You can not win a debate with a bengali so easily mate! Bengalis are famous for being so good at debating...

Thats the difference between humble Bengalis and arrogant Indians. Proud to be a Bengali but not as an Indian.

20 million!!! you are totally ravish... you also count legal tourist visa from 1971 to 2018 i think.There are so many Indians in bangladesh too but we never judge them like this cheep way

Bangladesh will take their people back in return India should give West Bengal to Bangladesh coz West Bengal was part of Bengal :). Every country has illegal migrant Bangladesh has too.

I'm speechless. This representer is talking complete nonsense and indeed it’s not the way of talking to a intellectual person like Dr. Rizvi. Such poor journalism. Be educated.

India going ahead to Religion issue....Bangladesh going ahead economically.

Truly appreciate your sensible speech by Gowher Rizvi. This is the face of true Bangladeshi. There are 3.5 illegal Indian immigrants live N working in Bangladesh. Bangladesh govt also should took the action against them.

Kashmiri Pandits are in the similar boat as the Rohingyas, with 400,000 having been forced out of Kashmir valley in 1990. Even though Kashmir valley is part of India, the Govt of India has done nothing. If India cannot even take care of its own citizens, what the hell will it do internationally? India is promising homes to be built in Myanmar for Rohingyas, but their own citizens are in refugees camps in Jammu. Shameful!

Dr. Rizvi said nicely

How knowledge and approach of a learned person dimmed the host from arrogant to soft!!! Respect for Gowhar Rizvi.

Love you all Bengalis wherever you are in the world . Non- Bengali hindu and Muslims were against the undivided Bangla because of their own interest. Succinctly there is no communal violence in two bangla in comparison with the other part of india.The Hindu and the Muslim are living peacefully.

Praud to be a Bangali... Then i m a Bangladeshi.... Bangali in my blood... We respect and love our Indian Bangali brothers... Its fact of love India 🇧🇩🇧🇩

Why is the interviewer keep on twisting words and asking the same questions repeatedly?

When Mr.Rizvi got a reference about nobelist Mr.Omorto Sen said Bangladesh will ahead socially and economically than India in future that time the presenter said that India beats Bangladesh in cricket which was not a relavent talks rather that was the talk with poke or identity of low mentality.

Can india confirm that when or wich year too many bangladeshi gone in india after 1971 or 1947 i dont think so india is very rich than bangladesh even asam is very poor than bangladesh so wich reason bangladeshi will go overther

Really Gowher Rizvi talked such a diplomatic way. and spoke about what should speak out.

Dr. Rizbi Chowdhury said & handle this issue a very good way.. Long live Bengal & Bengali....

I'm impressed that how intelligently being very humble handled the issue.

There are more than 10 lakh indian immigrants working in Bangladesh and 70% of them are illegal..but unlike India we are not making this a very big issue..See in border areas of Every country of the world have this kind of immigrants issues..if u search even u will find many of west Bengal citizens Ancestors are from Bangladesh..Just like that Many Bangladeshi people have their relative in border areas of India so they went there because of their relative and Especially many Hindu people of Bangladesh went there Because they thought they will find Benefits in terms of religion and other similar stuff..But Tbh now a days an Average Bangladeshi would not go to those areas because Bangladesh's GDP per capita is Better than those border areas that means an average Bangladeshi earns better than those areas people..And Recently Our Gdp per capita growth rate is the Fastest in the whole world so with this rate there is a possibility that Our Gdp per capita can cross Indias GDP per capita..Now Bangladesh's GDP per capita is $1909 and India's $2041 which is Very similar..And those border areas GDP per capita is lot less than India's average GDP per capita..So we can't deny the fact that Indian and Bangladeshi people lives a very similar life and earns very similar as well.. And whole world knows India is a 3rd world Developing country so is Bangladesh so its not like Indian people get So much Facilities like 1st world countries which attracts Bangladeshi to go there...But i admit many Bangladeshi people goes to India for Hospital and tour but those are 100% legal and also beneficial for india because those people Invest their money in India...

Very good discuss on in between Bangladesh & India we love both countries

We should just send all the INDIANS back who is working in Bangladesh so that they can add to the unemployed Indians list!

Gowher Rizvi is so elegant with slow build up speeches! Masterclass!

I come here to read comments!!! First of all, I am thinking that are we human?? Bangladesh is a country of 147570 square kilo-meter, which population is about 170 million!! There are approximately 12-13 millon Rohingya.... Can you even think how many people fled away from Myanmar to save their life??? India is a powerful country did they do anything for rohingya?? yeah they sent Food and medical supply for rohingya... But as a 50x bigger country from Bangladesh is it enough???? Why you don't take action? because they are Muslim??? If you (India) sent 35 million Muslim we will take them, no problem.... Because we can share Our food with our brothers, we don't see he is Muslim or not.... Long live Bangladesh

Huge respect for Rijvi sir, how he dealt those question in the hostile session

many indians live in bd we shoud do something

Bangladesh believes in win win relationship & we are in deep friendship with Indians. India is helping us in many aspects and we are contributing our best for India. Narendra Modijee is an inspiration to a millions of Young Bangladeshi. Our friendship can be enhanced in a greater extent through mutual understanding. I went to kalkata many times. People are awesome there. I never felt i was staying outside bangladesh. We have a blood relationship with west Bengal. Subconsciously we love & feel each other unconditionally. Thus our friendship must go beyond of complexity. Joy Bangla, Joy Hind.

If you deported Bengalis from Assam & other state we have two options going to the InternationaL criminaL court of Justice of Ethnic Cleansing another on before the partition we want Greater Bengal which will dominate India.Both Hindu & Muslim Bengalis should must live together peacefully.

My dear brother of india please be generous with Bangladesh like a 1971. we are same family and same ancestors.Do not let evil to break our good relationship in the name of religions.

Like Bengali Nation,Love Bangladesh..

Atlast ..Bangladesh is the 4th largest remittance source of India. (Indian media)

Doctor Rizbi has given very correctly.

Bangladesh surpassed India in many of the social indicators ........ no clapping from the Indians ( best friend)

India have a bigger role to play in reducing racial/religious tensions between the two countries, but it is the smaller country Bangladesh who is playing the proper role while India morally share a bigger share of the responsibility. If India wants then the bilateral relation can improve to the level that benefit both. Mr Rizvi tackled the extremist mediator quite masterfully.

Dr. Rizvy Well said. Just wow

Rizvi sir you rock... as a Bangladeshi and as a Bengali too, I am proud of you...

Indian subcontinent we are the same race of people. Before the British came we were the same. So why hate???

His initial statement belied what is happening in Bangladesh among general people most of the people dont like modi and shah for their murky past and present as well Bangladeshi people are very much aware about what comments neighboring countries are making especially youth

Rizvi sir Rocked

Gowhor Rizvi is a great person.He is very talent, and intelligence. Every question, he is solved very nicely and smartly.

Bangladesh not only better then Pakistan also better then india in many index

I don't think Bangladeshi people go to India for getting better life style or better income. Even I think people living in Bangladesh are more happy than India. Despite of getting so much negligence Bangladeshi people will live in India. There is no reason. And if actually any illegal Bangladeshi emigrants living in India then prove it, we will accept them.For us our people is not a tumor they are our assets.

Mr. Gowhor Resvi is an wonderful diplomate.

thanks for nice presentation from bangladesh

Because of Bengalis India got independence

Dr. Rizvi explained beautifully.Respect to Rizvi sir

This host is such a jerk and doesn't even understand the varying issues even though Mr. Rizvi clearly explained to him at the very beginning. He again asked Mr. Rizvi and then asked Mr. Madav who replied similarly. I don't understand why a guy with so little foreign affairs knowledge and who quite evidently does not know how repatriation between two countries that too allies work is sitting with these esteemed people.

Well said Dr. Rizvi. But while representing Bangladesh, internal political conflicts could be ignored.

It was very cheap political game by BJP. Shame on indian politics. Bangladeshi and Government of Bangladesh are well informed of about it. But, I feel sorry for West bengal Bengali, that they are the directly humiliated by BJP in this issues !! It also is seen that the unity among west Bengali people are so so weak and their status in India is so cheap. From Bangladesh

The Exchange of Population is needed to solve the problem. All Muslims from India must go to Pakistan and Bangladesh. In exchange; all non-Muslims of these countries must come to India. That will solve most of the problems of this area.

I love this guy. A very honorable person.

India was partitioned in 1947 and we gave up 36 percent of the land for the 22 percent of the population who were Muslims in 1947. All Muslims must be in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

i am very much dissapointed by gowher rizvi sir.he has answered everything right but when they started the issue of hindu minorities,then he should have questioned about killings of muslims in the name of beef and other political agendas.

In asham those ppl are not Bangladeshi they are Indian, they are Indian citizens, they should get their right for votes 🗳. India captured our land,

Mr. Gowher Rizvi your intelligence is really appreciable. Poor Indian host ended up with cricket when started with '20 mill illegal Bangladeshis in india...'. When starting has been failed to prove, then cricket is the big issue for a clapping haha.

Mr. Rezvi handled everything smartly and trickily.

long live indo-bangla fiendship. Jai Hind. Joy Bangla!

15 lacs Indian living in Bangladesh since 1947.5 lacs doing job.20 lacs

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana

Bangladesh tarakki ke rah par chal parahai..

Now per capita income is 1810 USD

big fan of Gawhar sir!

Not NRC claim But ask for more autonomy of each state of India,at present BJP,Shiv sana,Bajrangbali RSS & others created problems. India is silent about Rohingya,bcsu India wants Gas & minerals resources from Myanmar.There is no Bangladeshi in India,it is the internal affairs of India.One should respect the integrity of the people to overcome with political power Bangladesh is an issue to b used as slogan,it is a wrong decision by Modi Government. .

Presenter attitude is not good. Like rascal. He's leg stand style on stage. As a presenter he Shouldn't.

Well said Rizvi Sir..

"দাবায় রাখতে পারবা না" "You cant hold us back!" Bengal was the richest in the world timm 1757, History repeats itself time to show us what Bangladesh can do... Joy Bangla Joy Bongobandhu

Great man Gower Rizvi

'Modi ji is very popular in Bangladesh'- what he has just said?

It's not True that modhi is popular in bangladesh

they not bangladeshi they are Indian bangli asam is part of bangle .

Great speaker Dr. Rizvi

The last 2-3 minute where Gawher Rizvi explained why sometimes minorities in Bangladesh ar attacked is the same reason why BJP claims to deport illegal Bangladeshis.Like Bangladeshi extremist Jamaat and BNP thinks the minority Hindus vote for secular Awami League the same way extremist BJP thinks East Indian illegal intruders (Muslim Bengali Indians) votes for secular Congress.

This is like watching a wise man and an immature child talk

Yes, we haven't forgotten that defeat in Bangalore in T20 WC 😂😭 But, it's been far too long. BD needs to pull off a win specially in ICC event against India. It will happen sooner or later because it's been long due

How dare you talking in my name.... Modiji is very popular in Bangladesh?...shame on you....you are not even elected or representing any one from Bangladesh other than yourself?....what a disgrace. What about illegal indian working in Bangladesh?

Modi isn't popular in Bangladesh! Not at all.

Yes dear that is why during partition Bengal was devided on religious lines.History always has a lesson for coming generation & people who don't learn from past mistake are destroyed in due course.What about Bangladeshi judge mr.sinha who is beinf hiuned by Bangladeshi establishment?

Respect to Rizvi Sir!

Joy Bangla

Gowher Rizvi LOVESSSSS India !!!!!! :S

I become a fan of Rizvi sir.

Son of cow or father of mice calling someone termites is not a news. Good relations between India and Bangladesh is good for both. People of India have to decide if they want to leave their future in the hands of son cow or father of mice. If definition of Bangladeshi immigrants means bangladeshi who came to India after 1971 then there's no bangladeshi immigrant in Assam. You can easily find it out because neighbors and villagers can identify them. A Bangladesh India relations should not deteriorate like Nepal india relations. Mamata didi zindabad.

The main benefit Mr. Rezvi didn't mention of relationship between India and Bangladesh is border killing. Bangladesh always receives the gift.

Joy Bangla♥

I am impressed by this indian programme. It is not controlled by bjp.

I see have many bihar koloni in tha bangladesh so i ll know that bihare from where & this population how can living Bangladesh im alarn from modi fast you take your people make legal.we are Bangladeshi people why go there living Bangladesh is better then india

20million Bangladeshi living in India? Since you know the number then you must know where they are, therefore send them to Burma. (I dont believe your statement because it is impossible to know and unrealistic considering our population total)

At least hope all neighbors coloborate and develop and strengthen their economic benefits . At the moment India is going down in many ways.

I wonder whether the indian politician is qualified to be there. I am sorry but his is really struggling to make his points.

over 4 million indians in Bangladesh ...bring them back

Give them secondary citizenship 1. no right to vote 2. Give them judiciary and humanitarian protection. 3. No ownership for these illegal migrants.

সরকার বিদেশী মজুরি উপার্জনকারীর ডলার আয় গ্রহণ করার পরে তাদের পরিবার কে স্থানীয় মুদ্রা প্রদান করছেন। তারপর আওয়ামী লীগের লোকজনকে ইউএস ডলার ভিত্তিক প্রকল্প সরবরাহ করে অর্থপাচার করছেন। লুট করার মতো অনুরূপ দেশ কোথায় পাবে?

Lol! Modijee is very popular in Bangladesh!?

Most of the time so many Indians illegally come to Bangladeshi territory to catch fish,selling illegal drugs and so on. I think Bangladesh should be more strict regarding these issues along with border killing.
