They have added a new exportable item in their list (especially for Bangladesh ) of export oriented goods. Fortunately, it is supplied free of cost. It means we Bangladeshis have to pay nothing for this new Indian commodity .

I guess readers understand by now what I mean by Free Indian Commodity . That free Indian commodity is nothing but Live Humans. Indian authorities have given the responsibility to distribute these free Indian goods to a WAN (wide area network) system widely known as BSF (Border Security Forces). Through push-in method, BSF has begun to send live Indian humans into Bangladesh. So what are the results of Indian generosity on us? Most importantly, we are getting Indian Goods Free (whether we like it or not). In addition to this our marketing people get an opportunity to learn a new terminology like push-in, apart form knowing the Push-Pull method of Kotlers book on marketing. Finally, the relentless push-in attempts of India open a new window of thinking for Bangladeshis. That is, "Human Trafficking" is not necessarily an isolated issue, this can be state sponsored or even institutionalised.
