India & Bangladesh

Ahhh, after reading a report on Yahoo! News, a question popped up in my mind. Is Bangladesh part of India? I turned to my colleague for an answer, and his reply was a definite "NO". "Not same color means same country leh!", this was his reply. O. O Just to clarify, this comment was not made based on any form of stereotyping, but it's just another reaction that took place when people mistook a Singaporean for a Chinese in the European countries.

I decided to do a little research of my own. Viola! Bangladesh is indeed just a close neighbor of India. =) That explains why Indian barred gay sex while the Bangladeshis can still get away happily with their pinkies-holding in Singapore. I'm glad that this misconception of mine, or rather confusion, is finally being taken care of. In the past, whenever someone challenged my knowledge in regards to this matter, i will begin to hesitate and might be swayed to think that Bangladesh is part of India. Not now =)
