Bangladesh is being invaded by these low quality Indian managers when thousands of good professionals are being produced in the country. Mr. Chowdhury has mentioned about the high quality Bangladeshi managers who are working all over the world. I personally know of people holding senior positions in companies like BAT, Nestle, Unilever, Citibank N.A, Standard Chartered Bank, AES in countries like UK, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Vietnam etc. These worthy sons of our soil have achieved these overseas postings with their high level of managerial abilities, and needless to mention, against all the odds of our image.

We should always welcome world class managers in our market from other countries as this helps us to learn and develop our business and managerial skills. But this should be based on real needs only. Unfortunately, the people that are being brought (trafficked actually, as they are working illegally) into the country from India, and also from some other countries by some local companies have limited qualities in the areas they are supposed to work. Only quality they have is the ability to fool some employers with their smooth talking. It is a shame for us that even after 35 years of our independence some business owners have not been able to put faith on our own people. They are not only being unpatriotic, but also engaging themselves in unlawful activities.

It is time our foreign ministry, home ministry and BoI looked into this matter seriously. Our civil society and the media need to raise their voices as well.
