Today I can't even go back to my ancestral land, you can understand how I feel.
I believe most Bengali Hindus & Muslims are far more tolerant than others, and we could have stayed together without falling into the trap of religious politics. I have many Muslim friends, during my college days, PG days, and initial phase of my work life I have lived with many Muslims in hostels and shared accommodations, we have shared rooms, we have shared 'aloor chop ar muri' from the same bowl, we have shared drinks from the same glass, went out to celebrate every festival together, the question of religion never really occurred to us ever. You won't believe but we used to do Saraswati Puja together, and we went to our Muslim friends' homes during their festivals, for food.You will find many Muslims in the Durga Puja or Kali Puja committees here, and Hindus in Muslims Daawat committees. I can't remember about any riots in WB.
For us in west Bengal, we are Indian first, then Bengalis, and then everything else, how things would be any different with BD Muslims if we were together? For me, I am not even a very religious Hindu.But yes, religious hardliners of Bangladesh would be a problem if we were together, I think religious hardliners are gaining strength in Bangladesh, prevent them, they are like cancer, these hardliners never did any good to any country wherever they flourished.
And if we were together, then you had to be a part of India, that would not be acceptable to @BDforever and @Anubis
@scorpionx @Aka123 what is your opinion on this?And @DarkPrince you didn't tell me from where you are.

Being part of India was or is the last in thing in any Bangladeshi's mind. Some of them are nostalgic about Bengali nationalism and that's where it ends. Bangladeshi's will gain nothing being part of India. It would had been better and nice if we all Bengalis could stuck together. But the good thing about you guys went with India that we can always compare ourselves how we could fare if we were part of India. Good luck and so long.
NB: Nobody stops you to come to your ancestral home. Why not find a job in Dhaka?
