      title = {Two Bengals : a comparative development narrative of  Bangladesh and West Bengal of India /},
      abstract = {Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal share many  characteristics, including a common language, fertile land,  abundant rainfall, year-round warmth, and a dense  population. This book examines the progress made in crucial  economic sectors that have paved the way for the  development of Bangladesh and West Bengal. The book begins  by describing how Bangladesh is moving toward achieving the  status of a middle-income nation, and how West Bengal seems  to have fallen into the trap of developmental experiments  with different political ideologies over time. The book  then compares the trajectory of development in various  economic sectors of the two economies. In doing so, it  covers social development, education, health care, food  habits, cinema and theatre, and the entrepreneurship of  both entities. The chapters take an empirical and  descriptive approach to address various issues, analyse  results, draw conclusions, and make policy suggestions.
