Myanmar Rohingya militants massacred Hindus, says Amnesty
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44206372
It is absolutely unlogical even just to think the most helpless, almost annihilated Rohingya carrying out a massacre upon Hindu on top of themself almost being wiped out by Myanmar.
Myanmar should not be fooling around with other nation spreading fake and made-up news because other nations are not foolish neither to be easily cheated by the made-up news of culprit Myanmar.
Everyone should take a moment to feel in the shoe of Rohingya currently suffering helplessly who have clearly no future, thanks to the inhumane atrocities carried out by culprit Myanmar.
Time to unleash immediate punishment actions upon the greatest Evildoer Myanmar by showering it with the first punishment step of comprehensive sanctions on Myanmar.
Thousands of Rohingya rape victims expected to give birth

So people in Bangladesh should be mostly descended from India Hindu. Bangali and Rohingya are the same race.
However, while Rohingya in Myanmar are suffering inhumane atrocities.
Instead of helping India's brotherly Rohingya, India Modi is racing to help the sick Myanmar unreasonably while ignoring the genocide of his bloodline Rohingya.
Seems only US care about the welfare of Rohingya while another sick China persuading UN members to ignore the suffering of Rohingya.
So it is time for India to lead UN against sick China and punish Myanmar accordingly for its crime against humanity.
As soon as India announced bean import quotas from Myanmar before. Shameless Myanmar immediately raised the price of bean which India is going to purchase.
This kind of dishonestly from shameless Myanmar not only harm the local consumer in Myanmar but also the interest of India.
In order to help the local consumer in Myanmar not to be affected with overpricing by the dishonestly of Myanmar, India should clarify the price at which India is going to purchase which is not higher than the then bean price at the time of announcing bean import quotas. Or else India should altogether stop purchasing bean from Myanmar for fairness sake.
Confusion ensues after India announces new bean import quotas

It's the same like my own country (Afghanistan).

Delhi is expensive but if you can plan out - it's not that much,
i have always loved living in delhi and i wish to send my after retirement life in Delhi as well..
cheers to those who are proud to live in Delhi
Pahar Gang area) are high for what you get, and watch out for bedbugs! . I am very low maintenance by the way. Food, if you eat in market places (near New Delhi railway station) can be extremely cheap. Transport by subway is very cheap. By rickshaw be prepared to bargain ahead of getting anywhere but affordable. Many great concerts are free. Museums/historic places are much more expensive for foreigners but very cheap by American or European standards. If you go to Delhi with an American or, even better, a European salary you will be wealthy in Delhi
2 Two room set in a poor locality : 12,000/- per month
food charges : 15,000/- per month
Medical Expenses : 3000/- per month
Transportation : 5000/- per month
If i include other expenses there is nothing left...
What is the use of living here and doing a private job while Employers exploit employees to their extent. Especially in IT Sector...There is no life and no future. I would never recommend anyone to opt IT as the profession. There are no salary hikes only work with stress.
