“Lifetime” of Bangladesh

"There was a tiny country named Bangladesh (1971-2071) beside giant India." As per some so-called environmental experts or bodies, people after 2071 are likely to read the above sentence about us. They may also read, "The country was born in blood and died just after 100 years submerged in seawater." We cannot believe it. For various reasons, the temperature of the earth is on the increase gradually. The huge amount of snow at the two poles has started melting and the sea level is going up and up. Thus Bangladesh, Maldives etc are going to face extinction. Who are the culprits behind the rising temperature of the earth? Not Bangladesh or Maldives, but they will be the victims. Maldives is a country of numerous isles and surrounded by sea but Bangladesh is not like that. Our great rivers are bearing tonnes of silt every moment. If we can manage to deposit this silt the surface of Bangladesh will be higher. Furthermore, it is a matter of joy that Bangladesh is expanding. Some new isles are going to emerge in our water territory. Our enemies are always trying to launch propaganda against us so that foreign investors become hesitant to invest their money in our country. They are very much interested in depicting negative subjects regarding us on their canvas. But we will emerge as an economic tiger in near future, God willing, in spite of facing numerous odds. Bangladesh will not go under seawater!
