Cracks seen in the flyover pillar

[VikingRaider]

ভাড়াটে বাড়িওয়ালা কে কমপ্লেইন করছে যে ছাদ দিয়ে বৃষ্টির পানি পড়ে, বাড়িয়ালা বলে "ওই মিয়া বৃষ্টির পানি পড়বো নাকি শরবত পরব !"

It is still Bangladesh, so yes cracks in constructions are sad reality.

পুরা ছড়াটাই দিয়ে দিতেন!ছেলেবেলায় পড়া এখনও মনে আছে, সুকুমার বড়ুয়ার লেখা!

ফেকু বাড়িওয়ালা
ভুঁড়ি তার ফোলা
খেয়ে কাঁচা ছোলা
গড়েছে টাকার পর্বত!

ভাড়াটের ঘরে
জল যদি পড়ে
জবাব সে করে
তবে কি পড়িবে শরবত?
( A Bengali rhyme)

Two lines from a poem by Kazi Nazrul Islam:

"আমরা যদি না জাগি মা কেমনে সকাল হবে
তোমার ছেলে উঠলে মাগো রাত পোহাবে তবে"।

Yes, this word POHA came from the term "রাত পোহানোে". Even the poorest of the poor in BD eat Nashta with homemade Roti and vegetables, and Indians eat Poha. We call it Chira and the Nepalese call it Chura.

A thousand years of intermingling with the Muslims could not change even their poor food habits.

Indians did not wear sewn clothes before the Muslims arrived in 1026 AD.

This is documented even in books written and published in the West around 1910 or so. Take a look at page 3 of this book. @Maira La bhai especially for you.

I quote:

"India was the first of all countries that perfected weaving, sewing not being practised until after the Mohammedan invasion. The Greek name for cotton fabrics, sindon, is etymologically the same as India or Sindh. The word chintz is from the Hindu chhint, or variegated, while calico is from the place of its production, Calicut (p. 416). In delicacy of texture, in purity and fastness of colour, in grace of design, Indian cottons may still hold their own against the world — but not in cheapness. The famous Dacca muslin (p. 318), one pound weight of which could be made to cover a fabulous extent, is now superseded by the machine-made goods of Europe and America ; and European chintz now takes the place of the palampore (palangposh), a kind of bedcover of printed cotton produced at Masulipatam.

In the Panjab the weaver's trade still flourishes, but large quantities of the cheaper cottons are now made in India by machinery. Pure silk fabrics, striped, checked, and figured, are made at Lahore, Agra, Benares, Hyderabad, (Deccan), and Tanjore. Gold and silver brocaded silks, called kincobs (kinkhwab), are made at Benares, Murshidabad, and Ahmedabad. The printed silks which are worn by the Parsi ladies of Bombay are a speciality of Surat. Bahawulpur is noted for its damasked silks. Most of the raw silk comes from China. The Mohammedans are forbidden by their religion to wear pure silk, but may wear it mixed with cotton. Gold and silver wire, thread lace, and foil are made all over the country, for trimming shoes and caps, for stamping muslin and chintzes, for embroidery and brocades."

As opposed to this??

Re-read my post. I clearly mentioned that Indian construction sites more mechanized, not completely mechanized. That assumption was based on very low consumption of trucks/ construction machinery in your country.

Also,

Compressive strength of concrete that could be achieved with brick aggregate varied between 19 and 28 MPa, whereas, for stone aggregate, compressive strength varied between 24 and 46 MPa

Water Permeability Characteristics of Normal Strength Concrete Made from Crushed Clay Bricks as Coarse Aggregate

Water permeability characteristic of concrete made from crushed clay bricks as coarse aggregate is investigated and compared with concrete made from natural stone aggregate. For this, six different brick and five different natural stone samples were selected. Crushing strength of brick samples...

I made a mistake by calling you sensible lol. I already asked the other guy @Bilal9 for data regarding construction equipment in BD, and I am yet to receive any reply from him.

Google it yourself - what right you have to ask me anything?

The gall of it....not only ignorant but rude as well.

I already googled it and found your market size for construction equipment in your country to be a puny 1500 taka or $176 million. The market size in India for the same is $7 billion (ICEMA figures).

In 2019, the market size for infrastructure equipment was about Tk 1,500 crore.

Infrastructure equipment market booming on mega projects

Bangladesh’s infrastructure equipment manufacturing sector is undergoing sweeping changes to meet the increased demand brought on by the implementation of the government’s mega projects to accelerate economic growth.

So the only question now is will you accept your construction sites to be less mechanized, Billy Boy.

Thanks for the quote, but I know it very well that Indians/ Hindus did not sew clothes before the Muslims from India’s west migrated to India in the 1190s, and introduced this culture that spread throughout many centuries.

Even our Emperors had sewn their head caps and repaired/ রিপু their clothes. Sultan Ghiyasuddin Balaban and Emperor Aurangzeb, for example. So, everything indicates that Muslims civilized those heathen Hindus although why still they defecate here and there, I have no knowledge.

Muslims also introduced DasturKhana and Rekabi (tray) when eating, when the Indian Hindus still use banana leaves when eating. Indians remain a horrible bunch of inhuman creatures.

Traditionally, Hindus wear Dhotis and Sarees, and the Salwar/Kamiz or Pajama/Punjabi were brought by the Muslims that spread also among them as well.

I am not a hindu, but all I can say is lol.

Earliest evidence of sewing from the Indian subcontinent is from the Mauryan period. Last time I checked, the most popular women's attire in your country is one that originated during the same Era.

It's rather preposterous to claim that a civilization which mastered spinning and weaving would need help of a rather underachieving civilization to discover sewing.

And no, it's not like Indian cotton and Indian silk were known worldwide, even before the beginning of Islam, eh?

Muslims also introduced DasturKhana and Rekabi (tray) when eating

Yeah right, Metallurgy came from Arabia. I really don't understand how retarded one should be to even make such claims. At least Google up Iron pillar of Delhi or Wootz steel or Iron age in India before opening your mouth wide.

South Indians who eat from Banana leaves still remains far ahead of East Bengal or even the entire Muslim population of the subcontinent by miles. So much for muh civilizing program.

why still they defecate here and there

Are you talking about Bangladesh having just 54% sanitation access according to UNICEF & WHO?

Can someone watch the picture of Ashoka riding a chariot? Look at Ashok in the middle. His upper body is without clothes, only a short patch of unsewn cloth around his neck.

But, here someone is trying to imply Indian Hindus are the father of sewn clothes. Indians learned many things of civilization from the Muslims.

lol... Sewing & embroidery was common in India as early as the IVC period, as the discovery of sewing needles from Mohanjo Daro has proved.

Learned civilzation from who, the ones who stole the architecture from the Byzantines & named it ''Islamic architecture''?

 

[bluesky]

India had cotton they used to make fabrics, Muslims taught the Hindus how to sew/ stitch it with needles. There was also no embroidery in India old. Muslims introduced it to Hindu society.

India has cotton now, but it is BD that produces fabrics and sewed clothes that are exported throughout the civilized world of today. It is not India.

Sewing is traditionally our tradition and culture. Even our Emperors used to sew/ stitch their clothes sometimes. Since this culture is embedded in our blood, therefore BD clothing is world-famous. All Muslims are essentially Darji/ tailor.
