Those two men acted as very good tour guide for you I must say. They knew decent English, were familiar with the local people and knew about interesting places to see. What a lucky encounter.
must be a constant battle/decision on if this person im running into is a friendly interesting guide thats gonna make a great video addition.. or just a beggar/scam artist trying to plunder the foreigner
That guy at the and with the blue shirt, seemed more like a guy who oversees construction work and led you away from the bad environment so you wouldn't see it
I am a Bangladeshi and i am thankful and grateful to you for visiting and showing our country people don't really care about our country thanks for showing our country and sorry for any inconveniences Thanks again Love from Bangladesh
This is why Benjamin is a legend. NO ONE has ever presented countries like Bangladesh to the world in this way. No BBC film crew, no army of Food Channel producers, just Benjamin, his camera and his "Hello!" to everyone that walks by...
Its not true. I know some peiple who did amazing travel stories feom Banglades but only in their mother languages. I do love b&b but a fact that he is famous YT creator doesnt mean that he is the best and that nobody else never did something similar or even better.
Actually there was a great BBC doc about Bangladesh and the Ganges. There is also an old BBC doc on Bangladesh which is seminal and well known in the history of docs.
@@babyfaecThat is almost universally true, in many situations. I remember leaving the airport in Puerto Villarta many years ago. Right before the main exist was this long hallway with lines painted on either side. Right on those lines were DOZENS of people speaking with alot of authority, demanding I show them my passport. Unfortunately many hadn't read the notes on their plane ticket mentioning these people as being time share scammers who the moment they get your passport you're stuck listening to a sales pitch for half an hour, basically until you agree to go to one of their presentations. This was obviously something sanctioned by the airport. Just keep walking is a VERY good piece of advice in many situations.

Absolutely amazing video. Ben has no fear and it's a delight to watch him interact with locals of all countries. Better than any network or reality garbage on TV.
I mean yeah you can appreciate but I def think he should have, it wouldn't hurt the video, he could just talk about the ad while filming the city and walking around, I would still watch. This gives him an opportunity to make money, but from what I understand he doesn't need the money, he's ok with what he has, it enough to travel and do the videos like he wants.
Those two blokes who guided Ben around are two legends, really had a great time together. Bangladeshis seem to be really friendly. What an incredible video, just unbelievable. Thank you Bald!
As an Indian who lives 20 kilometers away from the Bangladesh border. I experience new places vicariously through Bald's videos. His Russian adventures will always be a TH-cam classic.
Dhaka, a 3rd world city, has better and worse areas. Outside the big cities, the rivers (huge), fresh air, flush green fields...amazing, and almost void of tourists.
There is a reason why Benjamin releases his first video in ages and has almost half a million views in just 11 hours. Absolutely classic and epic, as always. Thanks, Mr, Bald!
South asian related videos wont have lackings on getting views..india, Bangladesh, pakistan these countries got tons of people and they would rush in when you post something about them or their country.. Common youtube algorithm
You went to the very raw part of Dhaka city but you will find it more comfortable on the other part. These 2 guys have done a really great job to guide you around, thanks to them.
Those two guys are genuises :) They had a grand old time ditching work (hence the guy changing his shirt) and probably got more money out of good will from all parties involved than they would have made at the harbour. And I'm quite sure nobody noticed that they were gone.
@@Okeanos86 good lads, too, it's small things like this that gives faith in humanity, even if their motive was skipping out on work to make better money, they opened up their world to bald, and in turn us, and we're all much better off for it
Don't worry this isn't actually what it's like. He's chosen what to show for entertainment purposes. This is old Dhaka. Most ex pats etc live in the modern city where it's sushi restaurants and Ferraris.
this was one of the funniest episodes in a while! I liked the two unlikely guides and their humour. You captured the life and the way people live so well. Your openness and friendliness opens people up. Amazing job Ben!
I love that thay had generic blue shirts, that looked like some police or security. And that opened them door to any fabric and nonbulic place. What a legends:)
As a Bangladeshi living in Ireland, I laughed so hard a few times while watching the video. You're probably been poorer area of Dhaka. Still so happy to see that few lads helped you out. Haha this people are insanely friendly.
I wish that Mr Bald will be uploading more frequently. But unfortunately, it's not our choice, he has achieved his dream of travelling the world and have been through it all. He literally inspired me to learn languages and know more about world and how amazing we people are with our diversity, traditions and cultures. This man deserves everything good his way..
The infrequent uploads make it all the more special when he does upload, we’re lucky that Mr Bald is producing the best travel content in the history of TH-cam
The heat is unbearable out there, the fact that ben is able to run around for hours through some of the worst conditions is incredible. All while making an entertaining video. Also seeing the poverty out there is really eye opening, especially seeing it for myself a few months ago in person on a work trip.
They arent poor, nor are they hungry. They have some of the richest culture and cuisine in the world, just because they dont meet modern "western" "standards" that doesnt give you the right to pity them. They are less depressed, suicidal and mentally ill than most europeans and americans. So feel sorry for yourself first before you judge people who dont live the same way as you.
@@chepesantacruz777 much as i agree with you on the cuisine and cultural richness. You are incredibly naive if you think a majority of these people aren't impoverished and by denying this with copium you're acting against them. no one was being judgemental except you.
@@chepesantacruz777I don't feel sorry for them I certainly wouldn't give them money they don't have the right to beg u for money when they are dressed and fed. Them boys wouldn't leave him alone and the way they just saying money for nothing. Good on him for saying you don't get money for nothing
20:14 the 'bald drum' song translation is here- "Christians will be in coffin Muslims will be in white cloth Hindus will be cremated So, hey Human being, there's nothing for you to be so arrogant on earth" Love from Dhaka, Bangladesh ❤❤
Honestly this is one of the best and rawest footages ever of bangladesh. No other vlogger has done what Ben is doing in travel vlogging. Raw and natural. He shows it the way it is and he blends in with the locals so genuinely and naturally.
I live in Australia and met a bangladeshi guy through work, here on a student visa. He is one of the friendliest, most hospitable, and most generous people i know and i've come to be really good friends with him and love learning about his culture. He had only known me for a couple of weeks and would invite me over to his house. " You are not a guest here brother, make yourself at home". Such a friendly people.
If somebody wants to start travel vlogging this is the required channel at the front of the "research first" syllabus. This was an awesome video Ben. I loved that the pace of editing matched the pace of the experience very well, the banging of the hammers the 'money!' 'money!' shouts, the tactile experience of soaking in sweat touching old double-deckers jumping over puddles. Quite a dance.
I went to Bangladesh for three weeks in the late 90s after visiting 44 other countries over more than three years. The people were incredibly friendly, and I think that’s primarily due to virtually no tourists visiting there. Though one visit is enough, it provided a good glimpse into a place that gets very few visitors.
Did you hold your nose throughout the visit, or pinch it ocassionally or was that just before you disembarked from Bangladesh airways where rumour has it you have to sh*t on Bangladesh so they can recycle it to save their economy?
Ben my brother you're literally the only TH-camr I never miss even a single video from. You help us see places and meet people we never could and see how they live. Thank you so much for your videos, please keep em coming!❤
I laughed so hard when you said to the guy 'you got the eyes of a demon' haha. Also love how you interact with the child beggars. You just pay them ebough attention that it is not rude or arrogant. And in the end you find a way that benefits all when you let them guide you to a barber shop. Your empathy for people of all ages goes a long way.
Those child beggars are honestly annoying, wish their parents would teach them better than that. But the way he deals with them is good, I’m amazed by his patience!!
You don't realize the affect Ben's channel has on you through the years of watching until you are abroad travelling and find yourself more interested in old Soviet mosaics and architecture rather than the local touristic sites....was recently in Georgia, Tbilisi and got really excited about an old Soviet built bus stop or so I presumed...I must have been a little over excited I guess, at least the looks I got from my wife and daughter were priceless, and my wife asking me ''since when are you so excited bout Soviet architecture?.....I said its a Bald thing which seemed to confuse them even more...I could here my daughter muttering must be a midlife crisis 😂😂😂....thanks for what you do Ben, you have changed the way I see things while travelling....and I think that is a good thing....Dr. B.❤
What an adventure it was! Glad you're not going to the typical places but actually showing what Bangladesh is. Also, most people underestimate how HOT and HUMID Dhaka is.
This video depicts authenticity and realism as well as hardship of present situations in densely populated city in the world without any modification. Thanks for visiting 🇧🇩.
I spent 3 months in Bangladesh when I was 18 a few years back and this is bringing back so many memories. The people were so kind and friendly and would always shout ‘bideshi’ (foreigner) at us!🤣. The people, the food, the noise, the public transport - I miss it greatly.
You are my favourite TH-camr, i watch your videos most of the time. Thank you for visiting my country and giving us the scope to watch, know the world through your videos. ❤❤
I get nervous when I have to go to London to catch a train, yet here is Bald in a completely different country, walking around with only his camera, and still being able to understand and communicate with the people there, amazing stuff.
Is there a more interesting channel on TH-cam? Seriously, Ben just does things differently. So captivating from beginning to end. And it’s all real life stuff, truly increíble work.
It's crazy how he pulls this off way better than any actual TV show ever could have. I like how he's not even trying to be this big production either. So many TH-camrs try to be this big spectacle but with Bald it's Llike he just picked up a camera one day and decided he was gonna travel and show people for fun. He has no real posting schedule and disappears for months at a time and will probably juat end this channel abruptly someday when he's bored of it and yet he's created one of the best series of videos of all time without even really trying very hard. Such a legend.
I've done my share of traveling, eating in modest eateries, and stayed in modest accommodations. His travels seem completely authentic to the point of hopefully scaring off the non-hackers to the traveling lifestyle.
As a Bangladeshi, I would say the second guy had excellent conversational English for his socioeconomic status. He may have worked with foreigners or worked abroad before. Rare to see that because spoken English is not something generally taught in Bangladesh before the University level.
Wow. Your flow is amazing ✨ You get so much info communicated to us as you journey, and it feels like we’re meeting the peoples as they are and life as it is outside the confines of our self imposed boxes. Most definitely subbed 👍🏼
Mr Bald, so happy you are back. I started watching a video a day on my lunch break at work and they help me get through my boring office work life. Literally started off with your first ones in India and am working my way through them.
Hello Benjamin. I am a Bangladeshi watching you for the last 4 years .I never thought that you would be visiting Bangladesh. I feel honoured to see a Bangladesh Video in your channel.I hope that Bangladesh will be one of the best countries you ever visited.Just make sure not to carry too many items while exploring (Pickpocket) and your surroundings.Other than that it's pretty safe. Wishing you a very good and enjoyable journey .Take Care😉
@@vasiovasio It's not really that noisy everywhere in our country. A little glimpse of the busiest and craziest part of the capital city doesn't depict a country's full picture, I believe. Old Dhaka is indeed very noisy, overpopulated and rather poor. Where I live in Dhaka, it's not the same. Lots of love to Bulgaria!
Bald, thank you for being you! "Thank you for the awesome videos" isnt enough....because the videos and this whole experience.. this is "YOU". We are honored to have YOU making such awesome videos for us! You are a true legend! I watch a TON of travel videos, that is my "go to" video on YT.....and not all of them have the same "flavor". The way you do yours does set you apart in a pretty distinct way and its awesome. I am lucky to be able to experience your videos and essentially your life, at least parts, and I get to live vicariously somewhat through that, in ways that will never be possible to me with my circumstances. That is the true value, and I hope that I am not the only one that feels this way. We are truly blessed in some ways to be able to experience this stuff, and its literally through you right now. Stay awesome Ben!
Also, I know the states are awesome, but if you ever make your way to boring Indiana.....North Central (Elkhart County)....you better hit me up. I would be heart broken if I couldnt help you out in some way. Even pointing you towards a drinking hole lol
I love how you essentially just wandered around until you randomly came across these fellas who took it upon themselves and decided to lead you around on a guided tour of Dhaka. 😂 You are a man with far too much charisma, personality, and confidence. If it were to fall into the wrong hands, it would be dangerous, but with you... It's perfect. Thank you for taking us along, once again, Mr Benjamin. 🙏
Those two guide was "Security guard of Sadar Ghat, Dhaka". They are good people that's why they come forward so that vloger do not be scamd by bad people. 🇧🇩
I ran into the same guy (blue shirt) yesterday. His name is Nur. He showed me around for more than 4 hours and even introduced me to his mother :D If anyone's going there and wants his number just answer this comment. I highly recommend him!
Like a boss!! However, I would like to point out two things: 1. Our roads actually don't get flooded in the rainy season (not the district roads anyway). 2. I doubt the export-quality RMG goods are manufactured in sweat-shops. Even if the compliant manufacturers do outsource at times, it will be to mid-sized factories, not small sweatshops. Anyways, thanks for visiting Bangladesh. I loved your Soviet explorations, hope you enjoy your stay!
Just like you cannot live in an environment like this, us Bangladeshis need some chaos or else we feel like something is missing! So it has both ways haha
I've followed Benjamin from his soviet Russia vlogs. And at last visiting my country. He is one of my favourite travel vloggers who brings out the raw and real footage of each place he visits. Thanks for visiting this busy and full of life country and presenting it to the whole world.
I'd love to go travelling with you. I love the way you speak with everyone and deal with some awkward situations that a lot of people couldn't cope with in such a respectful and humourous way.
I really enjoyed this, it was totally immersive and natural and felt you really showed us the real Bangladesh. What a crazy and chaotic place but wonderful people all just trying to get on with life. Thank you for taking us on this journey.
Blimey, I never quite expected to see you venturing to my homeland, particularly during the height of summer! I've faithfully followed your travels for over four years, and you undoubtedly reign as my favorite travel blogger. Your style is refreshingly devoid of ostentation and commercialism, offering an informal yet remarkably informative perspective. I happen to reside in the southeastern corner of our fine nation, in Noakhali, and I would like to extend a most sincere and genuine invitation to you. It's not a mere formality; you are genuinely welcome to explore this region at your leisure. I must say, I sorely miss your earlier blogs detailing your adventures in the former Soviet states and Eastern Europe. Have a smashing and safe journey, pal. Cheers!
I'm a Bangladeshi. 🇧🇩 Absolutely loved this video. It was amazing that you took risk and trusted two strangers (they were super nice btw)! I wouldn’t do that, even being a Bangladeshi. Lol But this is not the whole picture of Bangladesh but a small part of Dhaka tbh. I'm inviting you to visit Bangladesh again. This time not in Dhaka, may be in a small village outside Dhaka, you'll see how beautiful the country is and the people are. You will be amazed by their hospitality. Thanks
@@leechee5721 Where did you see Hindus?! They are Muslim familys shown in this video, who are living in some shelters. Ben got it wrong when he said some of them are Hindus. In fact you will find thousands of poor Muslims sleeping in the street of Dhaka. You will hardly find any Hindu there.
@@nh.zenith31Even so, why would people living in those poor conditions prefer the overcrowded city instead of trying a rural lif? idk if job offers pays up for living conditions...
@@bragagd1618 There isn't enough job opportunities for people in most of the rural areas in Bangladesh. So, they chose to live those places for absolute financial necessity disregarding the health hazards.
Omggg, I've been watching you for many years now. I'm sooo happy that you visited our country! 🇧🇩 I'm glad you like it here. ❤️ Hope to meet you somewhere. 😭
Writing from Bangladesh here, welcome to our country. The places you're visiting are some of the most chaotic, overly crowded places of Bangladesh and their main language is Bengali. But there are other parts in the country where you can get people who know better English, offer hygienic food, has less chaos and what not. Please also visit those places and not only the chaotic and poor ones. As an example, many Bangladeshis don't even shave their beards in shops like that, we have better and more hygienic barber shops for this. That's just an example. Hopefully you get the full experience of visiting Bangladesh but not only the bad ones.
@@rizkyadiyanto7922 The Capital Dhaka has less chaotic and cleaner places, there are Chittagong, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Bogra, Khulna, Sylhet, Moulvibazar and many more which are better for tourists.
I live in Dhaka my whole life. Even I haven't been to that Ship building area. These travel vloggers are really showing the interesting parts of my country. Thanks, bald and bankrupt. I first watched your Dagestan vlog.
The is not enough alcohol in the world to get me drunk enough to ever consider visiting Bangladesh. B&B has balls of steel and his adventures are a absolute pleasure to watch.
@@Utsav_Viradiya It's not about being adventurous it's about not wanting to be depressed or get sick & die. Why would I want to go to somewhere thats covered in trash & has nothing to do & no nature.
you know hes an experienced traveler bc he takes the fact that he sticks out like a sore thumb there, and he embraces it and uses it as an advantage to connect with people. Awesome episode
I was afraid Ben would get ripped off by the rickshaw driver at the beginning since he just jumped on and didn’t negotiate a price. Happy to see he didn’t and got rewarded for his honesty.
I don't think they are used to tourists so ripping off tourists isn't a thing there. Although extremely hectic, the people seemed to have a small town vibe.
@@toolbaggers Ripping off tourists is absolutely a thing here. But touts are kinda scared to scam foreigners. If they complain and police gets involved it can be very bad for scammers. Locals get scammed all the time, especially is touristy places.
They are of different culture ... not all poor people rip people off, especially the people there are quite close to Sunni Islam there and ripping people off in strict sunni Islamic cultures is not a thing.
@@JosephMwema lmao I'm a Bangladeshi. This country is full of scammers. Just open any Bangladeshi news website and see for yourself. Religion has nothing to do with this.
Dear Ben, I have been your fan since 2018, most likely when you just started vlogging. I watch videos of many vloggers on TH-cam but I became your fan after seeing your amazing people skills which I have never seen in any other vlogger. I have seen all the videos you have uploaded, among them the India and Russia travel videos are my all time favourites. Today when I saw you came to my country I just couldn't believe myself. 😊 Just as you go to every new country and learn their language and try to communicate with people in the local language, I think learning some basic Bengali will make your entire tour more enjoyable. Happy traveling in Bangladesh.
Fantastic to see Ben back again. Straight in at the deep end. What a chaotic and noisy scene. I know he's visited and filmed some other chaotic places, but this tops the chaos league. Much admiration, and hope to see more.
I love it! I miss the old India videos. Allot of people don’t know but he used to live in India and is very knowledgeable of India. His early channel videos are gems
He had a partner then and both were hilarious. I remember them trying to reach the Udaipur hotel by swimming in the lake. They were treated as terrorists.
Thank you for visiting my country. I'd suggest going to other districts such as Chittagong if you're staying there. You'll definitely like it more since its less busy and hustle than Dhaka cause that's our capital. Chittagong is my hometown and its the coastal area and the largest port city of our Country. And if you truly want to explore the real beauty of our country than please go outside the main city areas. Love your videos! Cheers!
Nice to see you're in Bangladesh and exploring the shipbuilding side, which not many people cover on their trips over there. Hope you visit the tea garden are of Sri Mongol part of Sylhet. The majority of Bangladeshi people in the UK came from the Sylhet region from the late 1950s 60s and formed the 'Indian' restaurant and takeaway business that is still going strong today.
I spent time in Srimongal and Mouvibazar when I was there….. 🇧🇩 is such a mix of things, extreme happiness and tragedy, perseverance and stagnation, all with the backdrop of insane traffic and some of the best food in the entire world…I’ll go back one day.
Was so cool he ran into a few nice people who happily showed him around. So awesome to see in countries where some people have so little, being so open and inviting and friendly. Warms the heart!
It was so cool when he refused to spare even a cent to those starving street children. While strolling thru their country like he owns it. Milking content out of their miserable impoverished lives.
Benjamin - I’ve been finding comfort in your videos for as long as I can remember. The first ones I saw were of you in India. I have to say this is one of my very favourite videos you’ve done! The shipyard experience was just incredible. I’ve heard of the shipbreaking yard and have seen video, but I’ve never heard about this part. Your guide really did so much to make this into a real treat. My travelling days are behind me, I’ve had a disability for 34 years, and while I was able to travel (I made it as far as Egypt 12 years ago) add across Canada as Musician, I’m in my mid 50s now and my body is unable to handle the grind. So I live through the work of people like you, Ben and others. You’re living an incredible life, Ben. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Paul, East Coast Canada
Gosh Ben , all I can say after being 4min into this vid is well done. The filth, stink , chaos and constant badgering from locals would make me leave straight away. Fair play and keep up the good content !
I was worried you died in Mongolia! One of my dad's favorite things to watch was Concert for Bangladesh, cool to see how friendly of a country it looks like.
You're amazing. just take care always every travel you have. Keep on pushing, good luck bro! I recommend to visit our beautiful country Philippines also in which you will see the real paradise scenery adventure, nice culture with happy loving friendly and hospitable people.
Thanks Bald for visiting Bangladesh, my motherland ❤. You have no idea (I mean you probably do but that’s besides the point) how much joy this brings to someone who lives abroad. Hope your health has gotten better from last time
I loved Bangladesh when I worked there. The best thing for the begging boys is just to buy them a small amount of food. I loved your natural, kind way with people, and your consideration of the poorest.
Just curious what job u worked when you were living in Bangladesh? Some computer stuff? I know my home island of Mauritius has been recruiting french n British to work in computer stuff office jobs idk anything about those jobs i work manual as a cook 😂
@@fckfck4181 There are a lot of engineers in Bangladesh a lot of them also work at Microsoft and many other we are really smart with computers and we are the 2nd at producing garments in Bangladesh. School vacation is really big and instead of trying our traditional food how about going to somewhere fancy like a restaurant like ambrosia, barcode, chomok and many more. We have stores everywhere and our country seems to improve throughout this year. So please no hate. Please come to our country if you can and please visit cox's bazar, rangamati, or syhlet or any resort. I hope you get a great experience.
That was not bad. I like videos like this better than the dangerous ones. The fact that you managed to go to the busiest area, kept your cool, and carried on your thought process is just very impressive.
Thank you for visiting Bangladesh.🇧🇩 As a Bangladeshi I would suggest you to visit Cox's Bazar, Rangamati, Sajek Vally, and Sylhet to enjoy the scenic beauty of Bangladesh. Moreover, don’t forget to taste some traditional foods. Thank you.
So most Bangladeshi hate Pakistan but they do not hate Pakistanis. Most of us viewed India as a friend but since the BJP came into power we've seen violence perpetrated against Indian Muslims. So that's why you might see on social media anti-India feeling. My personal opinion is all 3 countries treat minorities poorly, and need to do way more. I know minorities in Bangladesh don't feel always feel included and are harassed. This behaviour needs to stop
@@christophersonawanealso India have been hampering the progress of Bangladesh... they always try to interfere in our matters if it goes against their interest..

It is definitly on my bucking list... I just visited Bahrain a week ago and met some people from Bangladesh there, extremely friendly guys!
I love how Ben just walks through anywhere like he's an old timey mob boss, its wild
Yeap, that keeps him safe
A good trick is also to keep moving and don't stop.
He's British. Walking into other people's countries and acting like we own it is in our genes.
@@babyfaecThat is almost universally true, in many situations.
I remember leaving the airport in Puerto Villarta many years ago. Right before the main exist was this long hallway with lines painted on either side. Right on those lines were DOZENS of people speaking with alot of authority, demanding I show them my passport. Unfortunately many hadn't read the notes on their plane ticket mentioning these people as being time share scammers who the moment they get your passport you're stuck listening to a sales pitch for half an hour, basically until you agree to go to one of their presentations. This was obviously something sanctioned by the airport.
Just keep walking is a VERY good piece of advice in many situations.

I mean yeah you can appreciate but I def think he should have, it wouldn't hurt the video, he could just talk about the ad while filming the city and walking around, I would still watch. This gives him an opportunity to make money, but from what I understand he doesn't need the money, he's ok with what he has, it enough to travel and do the videos like he wants.
Except he folded like a cheap suit with plandemic propaganda. Broke me heart.
What you mean? @@ducksinarowpatience
Those two blokes who guided Ben around are two legends, really had a great time together. Bangladeshis seem to be really friendly. What an incredible video, just unbelievable. Thank you Bald!
As an Indian who lives 20 kilometers away from the Bangladesh border. I experience new places vicariously through Bald's videos. His Russian adventures will always be a TH-cam classic.
Let his Russian adventures be given another chance in the coming years, concerning his banning for now.
Do nod redeem it sanjesh
Do you also encounter how your BSF treats Bangladeshis at the border?
@@ranjanbiswas3233why would BSF treat illegal crossers nicely? I mean that's the point of their job right?
I wanna come see India one day
Ship Yard, Garment Factory, Residents Homes, Baber Shop, and History lessons. Great content from a local perspective.
No one does travel videos like Ben does. Fantastic adventure - as always.
💯
Hes a n9nce tho
Dhaka, a 3rd world city, has better and worse areas. Outside the big cities, the rivers (huge), fresh air, flush green fields...amazing, and almost void of tourists.
There is a reason why Benjamin releases his first video in ages and has almost half a million views in just 11 hours. Absolutely classic and epic, as always. Thanks, Mr, Bald!
its 22 hours since the video now and three quarter of a million views. :D
Been the best travel show going for the past 5 years. Rick Steves is #2
South asian related videos wont have lackings on getting views..india, Bangladesh, pakistan these countries got tons of people and they would rush in when you post something about them or their country.. Common youtube algorithm
You went to the very raw part of Dhaka city but you will find it more comfortable on the other part. These 2 guys have done a really great job to guide you around, thanks to them.
I think its good to do so because thats where the real people live yk
Those two guys are genuises :) They had a grand old time ditching work (hence the guy changing his shirt) and probably got more money out of good will from all parties involved than they would have made at the harbour. And I'm quite sure nobody noticed that they were gone.
@@Okeanos86 good lads, too, it's small things like this that gives faith in humanity, even if their motive was skipping out on work to make better money, they opened up their world to bald, and in turn us, and we're all much better off for it
@@Okeanos86It was like an emergency call. And they did a great job responding and rising in the occasion.
This guy is brilliant on camera. He's able to just jump in the deep and make it work. Also, there's a bit of journalistic quality. Great stuff.
he's a great bluffer but he's had a few scrapes, his saving grace is his schoolboy silliness
I'm an openminded person and i like to see places outside of the beaten path but this is the worst nightmare for my social anxiety
Don't worry this isn't actually what it's like. He's chosen what to show for entertainment purposes. This is old Dhaka. Most ex pats etc live in the modern city where it's sushi restaurants and Ferraris.
@@Akuu820[x] doubt
Going somewhere like this would help you get over your social anxiety super quick. You should consider it
can't blame you, even I as a Bangladeshi am often embarrased to see foreigners face this situation. It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
@@ahmedkamalhasin2070 It also shows how fun and nice people there are, so dont be too embarrassed.
this was one of the funniest episodes in a while! I liked the two unlikely guides and their humour. You captured the life and the way people live so well. Your openness and friendliness opens people up. Amazing job Ben!
the fact that one man was rubbing and playing with another mans bald head would be homo in USA ....what a contrast between cultures
Így igaz!🤣
The head drumming was great. Witty people exist in all cultures, and it's great when you find them.
Honestly, much respect to the guys that showed Bald around the city. T seems that they were genuinely having a great time :D
hope he cut him a good deal!
I love that thay had generic blue shirts, that looked like some police or security. And that opened them door to any fabric and nonbulic place. What a legends:)
@@crazy-channsame
Heroin
@@tgregiexactly what I was thinking. Noticed him taking it off and hiding it once on the top of that boat. 😂 legend
As a Bangladeshi living in Ireland, I laughed so hard a few times while watching the video. You're probably been poorer area of Dhaka. Still so happy to see that few lads helped you out. Haha this people are insanely friendly.
I wish that Mr Bald will be uploading more frequently. But unfortunately, it's not our choice, he has achieved his dream of travelling the world and have been through it all. He literally inspired me to learn languages and know more about world and how amazing we people are with our diversity, traditions and cultures. This man deserves everything good his way..
The infrequent uploads make it all the more special when he does upload, we’re lucky that Mr Bald is producing the best travel content in the history of TH-cam
Benjamin is a geomaxxer God preying on brown women 👼
you knowe why i dont like to travel
once im there i think
shit i need to go al that way back home!
I wish he was still aloud in Russia, miss those adventures the most.
@amedicatedyetti1570 Allowed*
But yes, I do too. His Russia stuff was the best!
Bald and Bankrupt is the best travel TH-camr hands down. Every time I think he’s done it he come out with something even better, cheers mate.
The heat is unbearable out there, the fact that ben is able to run around for hours through some of the worst conditions is incredible. All while making an entertaining video. Also seeing the poverty out there is really eye opening, especially seeing it for myself a few months ago in person on a work trip.
Imagine banging on a ship for 12 hrs in those conditions, every day
@@iflycessnas4707 I know it's unbelievable that people can work like that. Not a hint of safety or ear protection. It must be unbearable.
They arent poor, nor are they hungry. They have some of the richest culture and cuisine in the world, just because they dont meet modern "western" "standards" that doesnt give you the right to pity them. They are less depressed, suicidal and mentally ill than most europeans and americans. So feel sorry for yourself first before you judge people who dont live the same way as you.
@@chepesantacruz777 much as i agree with you on the cuisine and cultural richness. You are incredibly naive if you think a majority of these people aren't impoverished and by denying this with copium you're acting against them. no one was being judgemental except you.
@@chepesantacruz777I don't feel sorry for them I certainly wouldn't give them money they don't have the right to beg u for money when they are dressed and fed. Them boys wouldn't leave him alone and the way they just saying money for nothing. Good on him for saying you don't get money for nothing
Benjamin, you are really unique!! It's just as if I were there with you. Such vividness, such strength and spontaneity!! Thank you, really thank you!
20:14 the 'bald drum' song translation is here-
"Christians will be in coffin
Muslims will be in white cloth
Hindus will be cremated
So, hey Human being, there's nothing for you to be so arrogant on earth"

Wow! Thanks for translating. Understood only that he was singing about the three religions but did not know what he was saying.
that scene was a brilliant show of affection between 2 strangers
How beautiful! Thank you!
Sound a peiceful song. Some cultures are better than outhers ha
Love it
Honestly this is one of the best and rawest footages ever of bangladesh. No other vlogger has done what Ben is doing in travel vlogging. Raw and natural. He shows it the way it is and he blends in with the locals so genuinely and naturally.
he definitely did not blend in lol but i know exactly what you mean
Old Dhaka does NOT represent the whole of Bangladesh 🙄
@@HomeTravelGardenInspo no one said that
Check out Gabriel traveller
I've been watching him for years and I didn't know his name was Ben, he should be calling his channel "Ben, The Bald & Bankrupt"
I live in Australia and met a bangladeshi guy through work, here on a student visa. He is one of the friendliest, most hospitable, and most generous people i know and i've come to be really good friends with him and love learning about his culture. He had only known me for a couple of weeks and would invite me over to his house. " You are not a guest here brother, make yourself at home". Such a friendly people.
people from south-asian countries can be nice too? say wuttt /s
@@QnJhbQ ahaha who knew 😛🥸
@QnJhbQ : Every country has friendly and unfriendly people. Greetings from the European Union 🇪🇺
@MichiHofer yes..exactly saying.
@@MichiHofer very true my friend
That one tour guide you found was legit amazing, he showed you SO MUCH of their little city.
I ran into the same guy (blue shirt) as Ben yesterday too. His name is Nur and he is very friendly person. Showed me around for more than 4 hours.
If somebody wants to start travel vlogging this is the required channel at the front of the "research first" syllabus. This was an awesome video Ben. I loved that the pace of editing matched the pace of the experience very well, the banging of the hammers the 'money!' 'money!' shouts, the tactile experience of soaking in sweat touching old double-deckers jumping over puddles. Quite a dance.
How much poop and pee do you think is in that water?
@@ryanscarphone4672you can drink it, it's safe for you.
He keeps it entertaining with all the metaphors, since he has a lot of culture experience, while most vloggers use girls in thumbnails.
@sparklesparklesparkle6318 not all the time so point still stands.
@@ryanscarphone4672 Probably less than is in the UK's waterways these days
I went to Bangladesh for three weeks in the late 90s after visiting 44 other countries over more than three years. The people were incredibly friendly, and I think that’s primarily due to virtually no tourists visiting there. Though one visit is enough, it provided a good glimpse into a place that gets very few visitors.
From this video it seems they just have no boundaries and really want money. That's the opposite of friendly, they're like flies on a corpse
visit with you daughter or wife
One visit is enough 🤣🤣🤣🤣nah bro you need to get more bangla experience. Come here i will buy your tickets🤣🤣
Yeah, that's not a place to visit. You can lie to yourself as much as you want, but reality is what it is.
Did you hold your nose throughout the visit, or pinch it ocassionally or was that just before you disembarked from Bangladesh airways where rumour has it you have to sh*t on Bangladesh so they can recycle it to save their economy?
Ben my brother you're literally the only TH-camr I never miss even a single video from. You help us see places and meet people we never could and see how they live. Thank you so much for your videos, please keep em coming!❤
same here lol
I just love how Ben takes us around the world to find many beautiful people
I laughed so hard when you said to the guy 'you got the eyes of a demon' haha. Also love how you interact with the child beggars. You just pay them ebough attention that it is not rude or arrogant. And in the end you find a way that benefits all when you let them guide you to a barber shop. Your empathy for people of all ages goes a long way.
Anyone understand what that man said to Bald?
This LUL so good😂
The man said "you look like johny sins"
sounded like 'cut the crap' but not 100%@@Chucky134
Those child beggars are honestly annoying, wish their parents would teach them better than that. But the way he deals with them is good, I’m amazed by his patience!!

You don't realize the affect Ben's channel has on you through the years of watching until you are abroad travelling and find yourself more interested in old Soviet mosaics and architecture rather than the local touristic sites....was recently in Georgia, Tbilisi and got really excited about an old Soviet built bus stop or so I presumed...I must have been a little over excited I guess, at least the looks I got from my wife and daughter were priceless, and my wife asking me ''since when are you so excited bout Soviet architecture?.....I said its a Bald thing which seemed to confuse them even more...I could here my daughter muttering must be a midlife crisis 😂😂😂....thanks for what you do Ben, you have changed the way I see things while travelling....and I think that is a good thing....Dr. B.❤
I completely understand you and I agree!+
Bnuuy
ABSOLUT GREAT BEHIND THE SCENES - THANK YOU A LOT 💙
I've been a fan of B&B for the past four years, and seeing him wandering around in my homeland truly left me in awe! FCKING LEGEND! BBIG FAN
What an adventure it was! Glad you're not going to the typical places but actually showing what Bangladesh is.
Also, most people underestimate how HOT and HUMID Dhaka is.
This video depicts authenticity and realism as well as hardship of present situations in densely populated city in the world without any modification. Thanks for visiting 🇧🇩.
I like how you show the real side of a country. The travel channel will just show the main tourist spots. It's a shame I couldn't visit as I'd burn.
As someone who was raised on a small farm in Ohio, my anxiety could not handle such chaos.
It is INSANE!!! I'm speechless!
As a Bangladeshi, and Dhaka-ite, I also get overwhelmed by Dhaka sometimes XD
As someone who was raised in a big city, my anxiety could not handle such chaos.
I dont think someone raised in Downtown Manhattan could even handle such chaos tbh
The barrage of chaos is amazing, I would need a 8 hour sleep after 20 min.
After three months with no videos it was nice hearing Bens voice again. Proof that he's alive.
I spent 3 months in Bangladesh when I was 18 a few years back and this is bringing back so many memories. The people were so kind and friendly and would always shout ‘bideshi’ (foreigner) at us!🤣. The people, the food, the noise, the public transport - I miss it greatly.
Come again brother 😊Bangladesh is waiting for you ❤
you wouldn't miss it if you had to live it
The smell*
Where are you from brother
@@pooopeeheard bangladesh
You are my favourite TH-camr, i watch your videos most of the time. Thank you for visiting my country and giving us the scope to watch, know the world through your videos. ❤❤
I get nervous when I have to go to London to catch a train, yet here is Bald in a completely different country, walking around with only his camera, and still being able to understand and communicate with the people there, amazing stuff.
TBH London area isn't very far from being like Bangladesh.
Do you mean this is not London ??
But I thought this was London 🤔🤔
Get out and see the world. London is 5star compared to much of the world and not bad by world standards
He was making a quip about demographics@@ronniet8802
I thought this was San Fransisco?
Is there a more interesting channel on TH-cam? Seriously, Ben just does things differently. So captivating from beginning to end. And it’s all real life stuff, truly increíble work.
Yes- watch Mr Beast hang out with some weirdos while he blows up crap
Yeah this isn’t the typical “I’m staying at this 5-star hotel, eating at this Michelin Star restaurant” travel channel.
It's crazy how he pulls this off way better than any actual TV show ever could have. I like how he's not even trying to be this big production either. So many TH-camrs try to be this big spectacle but with Bald it's Llike he just picked up a camera one day and decided he was gonna travel and show people for fun. He has no real posting schedule and disappears for months at a time and will probably juat end this channel abruptly someday when he's bored of it and yet he's created one of the best series of videos of all time without even really trying very hard. Such a legend.
I've done my share of traveling, eating in modest eateries, and stayed in modest accommodations. His travels seem completely authentic to the point of hopefully scaring off the non-hackers to the traveling lifestyle.
Those two guys were absolute champs.
Spoke enough English to help him learn about the area and showed him around with ease getting into any area.
As a Bangladeshi, I would say the second guy had excellent conversational English for his socioeconomic status. He may have worked with foreigners or worked abroad before. Rare to see that because spoken English is not something generally taught in Bangladesh before the University level.
They look like and acted like friendly cops that are proud of their city and country.
Wow. Your flow is amazing ✨ You get so much info communicated to us as you journey, and it feels like we’re meeting the peoples as they are and life as it is outside the confines of our self imposed boxes. Most definitely subbed 👍🏼
Mr Bald, so happy you are back. I started watching a video a day on my lunch break at work and they help me get through my boring office work life. Literally started off with your first ones in India and am working my way through them.
Hello Benjamin. I am a Bangladeshi watching you for the last 4 years .I never thought that you would be visiting Bangladesh. I feel honoured to see a Bangladesh Video in your channel.I hope that Bangladesh will be one of the best countries you ever visited.Just make sure not to carry too many items while exploring (Pickpocket) and your surroundings.Other than that it's pretty safe.
Wishing you a very good and enjoyable journey .Take Care😉
Man, it is so, so Noisy in your country!!! It is Insane! How do you take this noise?!? Greetings from Bulgaria! :)
@@vasiovasio It's not really that noisy everywhere in our country. A little glimpse of the busiest and craziest part of the capital city doesn't depict a country's full picture, I believe.

Bald, thank you for being you! "Thank you for the awesome videos" isnt enough....because the videos and this whole experience.. this is "YOU". We are honored to have YOU making such awesome videos for us! You are a true legend!
I watch a TON of travel videos, that is my "go to" video on YT.....and not all of them have the same "flavor". The way you do yours does set you apart in a pretty distinct way and its awesome. I am lucky to be able to experience your videos and essentially your life, at least parts, and I get to live vicariously somewhat through that, in ways that will never be possible to me with my circumstances. That is the true value, and I hope that I am not the only one that feels this way. We are truly blessed in some ways to be able to experience this stuff, and its literally through you right now.
Stay awesome Ben!
Also, I know the states are awesome, but if you ever make your way to boring Indiana.....North Central (Elkhart County)....you better hit me up. I would be heart broken if I couldnt help you out in some way. Even pointing you towards a drinking hole lol

Was it jakarta or medan?
Absolutely an amazing video. Despite the language barrier Benjamin is able to find his way to produce this amazing content.❤
Like a boss!! However, I would like to point out two things:
1. Our roads actually don't get flooded in the rainy season (not the district roads anyway).
2. I doubt the export-quality RMG goods are manufactured in sweat-shops. Even if the compliant manufacturers do outsource at times, it will be to mid-sized factories, not small sweatshops.
Anyways, thanks for visiting Bangladesh. I loved your Soviet explorations, hope you enjoy your stay!
Trust me, when Benjamin is there, the roads will get flooded by his sweat

This is the wildest video I've seen from Mr. Bald. Not the most dangerous, but easily the most chaotic. I can't imagine living in this environment.
Just like you cannot live in an environment like this, us Bangladeshis need some chaos or else we feel like something is missing! So it has both ways haha
atleast its not boring where you live. you can meet people easily.@@gamingtube3172

Blimey, I never quite expected to see you venturing to my homeland, particularly during the height of summer! I've faithfully followed your travels for over four years, and you undoubtedly reign as my favorite travel blogger. Your style is refreshingly devoid of ostentation and commercialism, offering an informal yet remarkably informative perspective.
I happen to reside in the southeastern corner of our fine nation, in Noakhali, and I would like to extend a most sincere and genuine invitation to you. It's not a mere formality; you are genuinely welcome to explore this region at your leisure. I must say, I sorely miss your earlier blogs detailing your adventures in the former Soviet states and Eastern Europe.
Have a smashing and safe journey, pal. Cheers!
What a kind invitation - I hope that Ben sees it and you two can meet sometime.😊
you have a better vocabulary than 97% of native english speakers.

But this is not the whole picture of Bangladesh but a small part of Dhaka tbh. I'm inviting you to visit Bangladesh again. This time not in Dhaka, may be in a small village outside Dhaka, you'll see how beautiful the country is and the people are. You will be amazed by their hospitality.
Thanks
Why are Hindus living there in poor conditions? Are they getting discriminated?
@@leechee5721 Where did you see Hindus?! They are Muslim familys shown in this video, who are living in some shelters. Ben got it wrong when he said some of them are Hindus. In fact you will find thousands of poor Muslims sleeping in the street of Dhaka. You will hardly find any Hindu there.
Sometimes, it’s really far more efficient to hire some local guides who know their way around.
@@nh.zenith31Even so, why would people living in those poor conditions prefer the overcrowded city instead of trying a rural lif?
idk if job offers pays up for living conditions...
@@bragagd1618 There isn't enough job opportunities for people in most of the rural areas in Bangladesh. So, they chose to live those places for absolute financial necessity disregarding the health hazards.
Omggg, I've been watching you for many years now. I'm sooo happy that you visited our country! 🇧🇩 I'm glad you like it here. ❤️ Hope to meet you somewhere. 😭
Writing from Bangladesh here, welcome to our country. The places you're visiting are some of the most chaotic, overly crowded places of Bangladesh and their main language is Bengali. But there are other parts in the country where you can get people who know better English, offer hygienic food, has less chaos and what not. Please also visit those places and not only the chaotic and poor ones.
As an example, many Bangladeshis don't even shave their beards in shops like that, we have better and more hygienic barber shops for this. That's just an example. Hopefully you get the full experience of visiting Bangladesh but not only the bad ones.
which city is better in bangladesh?
@@rizkyadiyanto7922 The Capital Dhaka has less chaotic and cleaner places, there are Chittagong, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Bogra, Khulna, Sylhet, Moulvibazar and many more which are better for tourists.

Is a pringle a real chip?
I was afraid Ben would get ripped off by the rickshaw driver at the beginning since he just jumped on and didn’t negotiate a price. Happy to see he didn’t and got rewarded for his honesty.
I don't think they are used to tourists so ripping off tourists isn't a thing there. Although extremely hectic, the people seemed to have a small town vibe.
@@toolbaggers Ripping off tourists is absolutely a thing here. But touts are kinda scared to scam foreigners. If they complain and police gets involved it can be very bad for scammers. Locals get scammed all the time, especially is touristy places.
They are of different culture ... not all poor people rip people off, especially the people there are quite close to Sunni Islam there and ripping people off in strict sunni Islamic cultures is not a thing.
They are a majority Muslim country so they will not think of scamming him. The tenets of religion guide their morals.
@@JosephMwema lmao I'm a Bangladeshi. This country is full of scammers. Just open any Bangladeshi news website and see for yourself. Religion has nothing to do with this.
Dear Ben, I have been your fan since 2018, most likely when you just started vlogging. I watch videos of many vloggers on TH-cam but I became your fan after seeing your amazing people skills which I have never seen in any other vlogger. I have seen all the videos you have uploaded, among them the India and Russia travel videos are my all time favourites. Today when I saw you came to my country I just couldn't believe myself. 😊 Just as you go to every new country and learn their language and try to communicate with people in the local language, I think learning some basic Bengali will make your entire tour more enjoyable. Happy traveling in Bangladesh.

Fantastic to see Ben back again. Straight in at the deep end. What a chaotic and noisy scene. I know he's visited and filmed some other chaotic places, but this tops the chaos league. Much admiration, and hope to see more.
I love it! I miss the old India videos. Allot of people don’t know but he used to live in India and is very knowledgeable of India. His early channel videos are gems

Nice to see you're in Bangladesh and exploring the shipbuilding side, which not many people cover on their trips over there. Hope you visit the tea garden are of Sri Mongol part of Sylhet. The majority of Bangladeshi people in the UK came from the Sylhet region from the late 1950s 60s and formed the 'Indian' restaurant and takeaway business that is still going strong today.
The UK's national dish that voted No1 was Bangladeshi/Indian curries we absolutely love them..
I spent time in Srimongal and Mouvibazar when I was there….. 🇧🇩 is such a mix of things, extreme happiness and tragedy, perseverance and stagnation, all with the backdrop of insane traffic and some of the best food in the entire world…I’ll go back one day.
This explains why the UK is the way it is now. Wow.

Was so cool he ran into a few nice people who happily showed him around. So awesome to see in countries where some people have so little, being so open and inviting and friendly. Warms the heart!
they got paid.

It was so cool when he refused to spare even a cent to those starving street children. While strolling thru their country like he owns it. Milking content out of their miserable impoverished lives.

I’ve been finding comfort in your videos for as long as I can remember. The first ones I saw were of you in India. I have to say this is one of my very favourite videos you’ve done! The shipyard experience was just incredible. I’ve heard of the shipbreaking yard and have seen video, but I’ve never heard about this part. Your guide really did so much to make this into a real treat.
My travelling days are behind me, I’ve had a disability for 34 years, and while I was able to travel (I made it as far as Egypt 12 years ago) add across Canada as Musician, I’m in my mid 50s now and my body is unable to handle the grind. So I live through the work of people like you, Ben and others.
You’re living an incredible life, Ben. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

This is absolutely fascinating, and makes me want to go to Norway RIGHT NOW. What a madhouse.
Veritá, Palermo is so tamed compared to Dakar.
Go to Birmingham to experience Dhaka in Europe

Gosh Ben , all I can say after being 4min into this vid is well done. The filth, stink , chaos and constant badgering from locals would make me leave straight away. Fair play and keep up the good content !
and heat
seriously the place is a nightmare. no idea how people live like that
You can say that something is not your cup of tea without being disrespectful.
it literally seems inhumane to live there. not being disrespectful its just reality. its sad they have to live in such squalor@@wingdingdmetrius8025
@@wingdingdmetrius8025he stated the honest truth, All he described is evidently shown in the video lol.
I was worried you died in Mongolia!
One of my dad's favorite things to watch was Concert for Bangladesh, cool to see how friendly of a country it looks like.
Upload the concert plzzzz
Brother... I have watched HOURS AND HOURS of your videos and your mental fortitude is absolutely incredible. I couldn't do it man.
Makes it look effortless and shows us the world and countries in their true light. Ben you are an absolute legend..
Bangladesh is off my bucket listThanks man!😀
Bald is a legendary bloke. He surprises me every single time with how he interacts with the locals. Top lad!
Right 👍
You're amazing. just take care always every travel you have. Keep on pushing, good luck bro! I recommend to visit our beautiful country Philippines also in which you will see the real paradise scenery adventure, nice culture with happy loving friendly and hospitable people.
Thanks Bald for visiting Bangladesh, my motherland ❤. You have no idea (I mean you probably do but that’s besides the point) how much joy this brings to someone who lives abroad. Hope your health has gotten better from last time

It's sh*t, ripoffs and dump everywhere

@@misterdeluxia5948the layer of civilization is frighteningly thin.
I loved Bangladesh when I worked there. The best thing for the begging boys is just to buy them a small amount of food. I loved your natural, kind way with people, and your consideration of the poorest.
Just curious what job u worked when you were living in Bangladesh? Some computer stuff? I know my home island of Mauritius has been recruiting french n British to work in computer stuff office jobs idk anything about those jobs i work manual as a cook 😂

There are a lot of engineers in Bangladesh a lot of them also work at Microsoft and many other we are really smart with computers and we are the 2nd at producing garments in Bangladesh. School vacation is really big and instead of trying our traditional food how about going to somewhere fancy like a restaurant like ambrosia, barcode, chomok and many more. We have stores everywhere and our country seems to improve throughout this year. So please no hate. Please come to our country if you can and please visit cox's bazar, rangamati, or syhlet or any resort. I hope you get a great experience.
That was not bad. I like videos like this better than the dangerous ones. The fact that you managed to go to the busiest area, kept your cool, and carried on your thought process is just very impressive.
This was really intense. The heat. The beggars. You sweat your shirt through and yet you keep calm and finish the video. Respect brother from Prague 👍
Thank you for visiting Bangladesh.🇧🇩 As a Bangladeshi I would suggest you to visit Cox's Bazar, Rangamati, Sajek Vally, and Sylhet to enjoy the scenic beauty of Bangladesh. Moreover, don’t forget to taste some traditional foods. Thank you.
Why you guys hate India and love Pakistan
So most Bangladeshi hate Pakistan but they do not hate Pakistanis. Most of us viewed India as a friend but since the BJP came into power we've seen violence perpetrated against Indian Muslims. So that's why you might see on social media anti-India feeling. My personal opinion is all 3 countries treat minorities poorly, and need to do way more. I know minorities in Bangladesh don't feel always feel included and are harassed. This behaviour needs to stop
@@k2411871So Bangladeshis should be anti BJP not anti India. tf
@@christophersonawanealso India have been hampering the progress of Bangladesh... they always try to interfere in our matters if it goes against their interest..
