Dear dina khan,
Please don't possess this wrong conception that only "Adamjee Ispahani Bawani Dawood Kohinoor habib family had build the economy in Bangladesh by establishing mill industry in East Pakistan where there was no any industry in 1947 & had provided job & business facility to the people of east Pakistan but they were looted".
There were no industrial assets or any big assets at all in Pakistan in 1947 left behind by the Britishers, whereas in India there were many industrial establishment readymade inherited by India from the British regime. West Pakistan was not a so much resourceful country except some gas field discovered later on as for example Sui Gas Field in district Sibi, Baluchistan where as in our the then East Pakistan besides Sylhet Gas Field there were multiple natural resourceful products like Jutes available in huge amount used for Amin Jute Mills, Adamjee Jute mill and in Chandragona Paper mills from availability of huge resources like bamboos, woods and other raw materials available in the big jungles of Chittagong Hill Tracts area suitable for paper productions, humid weather of Bangladesh suitable for leather industries for Tanneries and many others suitable and available raw materials in the then East Pakistan only. Chandragona paper mills is the biggest paper mills in the whole of Asia not possible either in Pakistan or in India yet. Indian few rich man took the opportunity of our availability of plenty of resources and geographical situation and approximity, established those industries according to their suitability and not for our benefit only as you try to indicate. At the end just before the last moment of our liberation war when they saw no other hope for their survival and came to understand they cannot stay here more to enjoy as before, then by leaving the skeleton of those industries took everything from here during nine months of our liberation war, whatever they could take to West Pakistan but our God gifted natural resources they could not take any more for which they are repenting now and crying over there by remembering those sweet memory of their enjoyments and facilities they used to get from our Bangladesh(the then East Pakistan) at that time which they could not think of again in the deserts and huge rocky mountain area of Pakistan. There were some small amounts of non-Bengali businessman made their life in our the then East Pakistan which probably they could not dream at all.
In many parts of the world development process depends on the availability of resources even in vast continent like U.S.A., Russia, Australia, South Africa, Middle East, Japan etc and many other big or small countries developed by the resources available over there. Bangladesh also whatever small amount of resources we had we have come up to this level. It would be a bit early in our development if migration in bulk amount as in millions not entered in our small country. Look at many rich Muslim countries like middle east whether allowing any Muslim from a poor Muslim country to enter in their country to get citizenship, leave aside citizenship even job over there but being a small poor muslim country like us we allowed Indian refugees to get a chance of citizenship in our country, which facilities by their selfish attitude they lost and could not avail by their own faults. If they are now without any country to stay it is not our faults. This Bangladesh we made by the sacrifice of our three millions of Bengalis. History mention no role of non-Bengali Beharis in the independence of our Bangladesh for which others have toiled. Instead they took part during our liberation war period by giving side with the Pakistanis in their wrong stance and one time by stopping a train near Sholo Sahar Wireless Colony, Chittagong slaughtered the full train of Bengali passengers travelling from Nazir Hat to Chittagong for which they sould should have to be brought as war criminals but Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman after returning from Pakistan Prison had forgiven them and that is why they are still living in Bangladesh for the last 38 years though their beloved Pakistan still refusing to take them back.
For your further information our renowned Industrialist and former Industrial Minister during Ayub Khan's time A.K.Khan established so many industries in our country which our peoples are still running by themselves. Mind that if those names which you have mentioned above would not come at that time, our people were sufficient enough to establish those industries might be a bit late, by themselves as availability of God gifted resources in course of time and according to the situation.
Dowllah.
