Chill Bangladesh Thread

[DalalErMaNodi]

To me as long you speak Bangla, eat bangali food, think like a bangali, resonate with the strugglers of everyday bangali, adhere to the little seemingly insignificant and innocuous things that bengalis do, you're Bangali.


Provided you can trace 3-4 generations of your family to prove that you have nothing to do with Bihar because else you'd be a Bihari pretending to be a Bangali.

Once a bihari, always a Bihari.

@Buddhistforlife bro, you know about this? I want to hear your piece; the other side of the story.

@DalalErMaNodi first this Vante got accused of spreading hate speech against local Muslim, but i doubt it because nowadays it is easy to make up a fake screenshot. But now this...

The member of parliament Hasan Mahmud is stealing lands of people living in Rangunia.

He and his thugs are now grabbing lands of a temple.

Also he did not insult Islam. This mp Hasan Mahmud is lying. Everyone knows of his activities

@DalalErMaNodi I was earlier referring to land grabbing of minorities. This is an example.

Tis plausible, these MPs do grab alot of land, anyway the police will conduct an investigation, then we will know.

Agreed.
BTW, what's your opinion on this hijab thing?
To be honest i have seen pious women in hijab to pornstar in hijab and everything in between.

let the women decide what they want and we should not question their bangaliness just because they decide to put on their hijab.

Do MPs grab lands of muslims? I want to see an example.

I feel you.
Hope ownership goes to the rightful owner once the investigation is done and no politics being played with the Buddhist people, although i have my doubt.
I have an special place in heart for Buddhist people for their peaceful and humble way of life.

Will you believe me, if I say that someone I know has got their land grabbed by an MP, who has now even constructed a building on this land ?

And yeah, both the victim and MP are Muslims.

Agreed.

I don't have an opinion on this issue, I don't need to.

I distance myself from religious discussions, I do not like them and what they usually spiral into....

Dhormo loyre gondogol gorron arte gin lage.


But I maintain that, women are equal to men and Bangladesh is developing thanks to our women, who are breaking norms and working in factories to feed their families.... Our women have every right to wear whatever they feel like.

We must not judge them, this much we owe them.

Bangladeshi Buddhists are peaceful can't say about Burmese, Thais, Sri lankans

understand. not everyone has to have an opinion or pick a side. I am always against the narrative of "you either with us or against us".

There IS slight mistrust and fear between Hindu bangalee community and Muslim bangalee community that needed to addressed and discussed at some point to better understand and respect each other. It is mutually beneficial for bangalees in this region.

But i understand that sometime you are just not interested in topics.

I read a little bit of Budda's teaching and to be honest i get a vibe that of Sufi sect of Islam, maybe it is just me.

Well, personal opinion is not the issue here, you or me can always have our own definitions of Bengali.

I was talking about the general perception about Bengali culture which is entirely based on wrong narratives.

Take Pahela Baishakh for example, a lot of people call it part of Hindu culture when in fact this festival started during the Mughal period when a new version of Bengali calendar was developed by Mughal astronomers.

Or like the issue of hijab brought here. A girl wearing hijab becomes less Bengali, yet, wearing North Indian style dresses doesn't affect her Bengaliness.

Muslim rulers are labelled as invaders, yet the Sena rulers who came from South India are never labelled as such.

I guess it's the perfect time to fix these narratives as Bangladeshis are the majority and globally, the main reference for Bengali culture. The main obstacle is the intellectual class in our country are propagators of those wrong narratives themselves.

Its not about interest, it's about end result...

These questions and discussions spanning multiple religions, human behaviour and religious beliefs always end in conflict and vitriol.


Indeed, more often than not there is no right answer, in the sense that no matter what you do or say, one side will always be upset.


Yes, there is a fine line, where everyone can reach a compromise and not feel like they're getting the short end of the stick.


But it takes effort and capability, that I don't believe I have.



You and I are all slaves to our perspectives and our views are influenced by our surroundings and experiences; in short we biased.

I am biased, so I'd rather not upset people by unintentionally say something offensive or inconsiderate.



Religion is a volatile topic, both side needs to be open for a discourse, they should be clear and concise, civility must be maintained and most importantly nobody should feel hard done by.


Unfortunately, PDF isn't conducive to such fruitful discussions, nor are the bunch of people on PDF capable of having such a discourse, one side is always soured out and put off.


Someone makes a good point, other side finds it offensive and then it descends into a free for all about whose religion has more hilarious norms and customs.




I'm a biased individual, on top of which I have low tolerance for religious trolling, I also don't know much about religion due to which I can't provide proper talking points.


Due to the aforementioned reasons, I don't discuss religion and I don't recommend people do so either, unless they're capable.

i understand bhai, you don't have to have an opinion on this. You got your priorities right. Cool..
i too understated i have limitation, that is why i wanted an answer.
and i believe that i am biased to what i believe and so as others in what they believe.

that is why we need to come to table, engage, draw a line and learn to respect each other.
and there lies benefit for whole Bengal region.

Classic Bangladesh, water, water and yet more water.



Does any BD user have the ear of a nice mod ? I think we need to make a Bangladesh thread dedicated to its beautiful landscapes and sights, a way to show the positive non concrete jungle side of Bangladesh.

We can get mods to sticky the thread so people can first have a look at Bangladesh before passing comments based on propaganda and preconceived notions about our country.


What do you say brothers @Al-Ansar @Bilal9 @Homo Sapiens @Black_cats @Michael Corleone @Atlas @Avicenna @gom poa @X-ray Papa ?


Sorry for the tag btw.

No matter what we show them, the indians will always insult us.
As for the pakistanis, they dont give a damn about us.
But anyway its good thing to show other users who are not south asians on what bangladesh is like.
