[chottala.com] Google images of Bangladesh: "..got scared to find the result.." says a reader to a newspaper

Type BANGLADESH into google and guess what happens: an advert from an Indian government funded (perhaps via an intelligence agency like RAW) organisation based in USA and India. Images of terror and violence.... .. stories of.....

 

And who is supplying such stories and images: mainly Bangladesh media with Mahuz Anam's Daily Star being among "Right to Know" stars! 

 

And who are the workers of input into Google search engine? 

 

Mainly INDIAN WORKERS IN  GOOGLE  BACK OFFICES (Yes, these Indians, who would otherwise be starving, are paid good many to provide unbiased information and increase the reputation of Google. Indian employees are sabotaging Google's reputation.) They are very obsessed with making Bangladesh negative in the eyes of the world. Even worse, such misrepresentations   PSYCHOLOGICALLY DEBILITATE and SHAME CITIZENS OF BANGLADESH. 

 

Unless we protest and draw the attention of the world such an Indian project will become the norm as far as the name of BANGLADESH is concerned. Unfortunately, the government of Bangladesh and its 50 odd Embassies are sleeping dogs. 

 

 

Just look at the way our Prime Minister was received at the Indian airport? By a junior Indian Minister and not the Prime Minister!

The news coverage was hardly fit for an important visiting leader of a an state which provides so much foreign exchange, and an important Islamic ally which will help India gain permanent seat at the UN. 

 

Incredibly, the Qatari government run Aljazeera correspondent Ms Puri sends out a patronising and inaccurate report of Bangladesh PM visit in which she states India is Bangladesh biggest trading partner, implying a favour from India.

 

 

We gave an Indian company one of our mobile phone company and already the story Indian media are printing include words with negative and aid-giving connotations!

 

Incredibly the Indian Air force chief visits Dhaka and the stories from India imply that Bangladesh Air force needs Indian to help rescue the largely obsolete fighter planes!

 

 

The point is this:

POVERTY STRICKEN INDIA CONTROLS THE IMAGE OF BANGLADESH (even from within Dhaka) TO THE WORLD. BANGLADESH IS INDIA'S HOSTAGE.

 

 

BANGLADESH IS INCREASINGLY A WORLD PLAYER. OUR PEOPLE HAVE GLOBAL SKILLS INFLUENCING THE WORLD. Why do we allow India to humiliate us and our nation?

 

India is hostile to Bangladesh. It will remain hostile to all things Bangladesh even if we give up our nation to appease her.

Bangladesh's image

I was searching in the popular internet search engine Google with the key word "Bangladesh" for a web result and got scared to find the result. The reason behind my scare was some photos that automatically came with the web result. I again tried many times with the same key word and always found the same web result with same terrible photos. You can also try and I am sure you will be frightened to see the photos if you are a patriotic citizen of this country. No, the photos do not contain any horror content or ghostly things. One photo shows a cop beating a journalist and another depicts a military parade and contains the caption "Bangladeshi BDR Massacre". These photos portray a negative image of the country to the world. So these are really painful for any Bangladeshi. Today, in the age of information technology, if anybody outside Bangladesh needs to know about the country at first he or she will go to internet and will find a negative impression of Bangladesh. Bangladesh might have many problems but certainly this country is a model of communal and religious harmony. We have a glorious past and we are also an example of rising democracy. So why this country is being portrayed in such a negative way. Please describe Bangladesh in a constructive way. I think Google does not show these photos intentionally as it works automatically by using some programming formulas. The authorities of websites containing these pictures are responsible for this fault. They should immediately delete these pictures.
