I think Bangladesh can be considered a third world country knowing its poverty while still keeping laws that don't permit a good developing of their economy and good lifestyle in general.In countries like this,this arrest is a common thing as the human nature does not like opression.
Yes, Bangladesh is a third world country. But the economy is growing in every year and GDP as well. Developing plans are huge but corruption is the main concern here for not upgrading the lifestyle as a whole. Gambling and Cryptocurrency both are prohibited here and considered as an offense.
I respect the customs and laws of any country. Bangladesh is a country where Islam is the official religion. Gambling is not permitted in this country. Therefore, the article by the author of the topic did not surprise me.
However, from the point of view of universal human values, prohibitions and restrictions contradict progress.
As a child, I read stories about Khoja Nasreddin, he is a very wise and intelligent person who lived in the Middle Ages in the countries of Central Asia (Iran, Iraq, Khorezm, etc.). As far as I remember, Khoja Nasreddin played gambling, namely dice.
I do not exclude that in the future, gambling will also be fully or partially allowed in Bangladesh.
If this is not the case, then the youth of Bangladesh can travel abroad to play in the casinos.
