I think it is more useful to understand what constitutes being a Bangladeshi. If one is born within the territory of Bangladesh then that person is by birth a Bangladeshi. That person must also assert loyalty to the country. Speaking Bangla is not compulsory but knowledge of the language and culture is useful. The official history of Bangladesh would start from the period of Bhaktiar Khilji's entry into Bengal and the subsequent assertion of independence of the Sultanate from the Mughal central authorities in the following centuries. All students and patriots of Bangladesh must have knowledge of this basic history. A Bangladeshi should also know about the 1905 Curzon partition of Bengal and discrimination of Muslims by the Hindu elites and the cancellation of the division in 1911. Next they should know about the partition movement led by the Bengal Muslim League and the creation of Pakistan. Students should learn about India's attempts at destroying Pakistan and their role in the Language Movement and their activities in creating secessionist movements. At the same time they would have to know about the 1965 war and the seeds of distrust that emerged between East and West Pakistan especially concerning the defense of the former and economic and monetary disagreements between the two parts. Lastly Bangladeshis should know about the 1971 war and how atrocities were committed on all sides and continued by India after the war through the Rakkhi Bahini. Bangladeshis should also finally have pride for the heroic deeds of 1975 that saved the country form Indian intrusion and interference. A Bangladeshi can be of any religious background but must show loyalty through word and deed to the country.
As usual severly distorted and lopsided view of Bangladesh.
"The official history of Bangladesh would start from the period of Bhaktiar Khilji's entry into Bengal and the subsequent assertion of independence of the Sultanate from the Mughal central authorities in the following centuries"
So like Pakistanis you mean to say that starting with the Bengal Sultanate, the period and the history belongs to Bangladesh.
Which Bangladesh are you talking about? The one which existed in the 14th century? And why do you think we do not have claim over the Begal Sultanate as a part of our varied and great history?
You are an author I have heard, so I would expect your view points to be rational at least. Dont you know that the great medeival cities of Gaur and Lakhnauti and later on Pandua are in our territory?
Or do you think even that claim is bizarre? And if that is true why dont you think we have greater rights over the history of Sultanate Bengal till Adil Shah Suri till the Mughals arrived?
"Students should learn about India's attempts at destroying Pakistan and their role in the Language Movement and their activities in creating secessionist movements"
Okay, again the typical mullah-military combo ideology. My questions:
a) If you are have so much fantasy over things Arabic including the language, why do you think people of your country speak Bangla?
Make Urdu your national and State language, you can rise to the lofty heights, your brethren have risen in the 60 odd years of thier existence
b) You must be tried for treason, Sir, for undermining the efforts of a whole race of Bengalis against the atrocities of the (in) famous Pak army. According to you it was the handiwork of Raw and the IB of the GoI which helped fuel sessionist ideologies? Right?
You pride yourselves as politically mature compared to your Punjabi-heavy brothers, and you underscore the sacrifice of millions of your countrymen who fought for your freedom?
You mean to say, that RAW is so powerful that it planted the ideas of sessesion amongst East Pakistanis, just like that and the Pakistan Govt just could not do anything over it?
This is amazing stuff, just to think of the sheer stupidity of the remarks that you made...
c) "A Bangladeshi can be of any religious background but must show loyalty through word and deed to the country"
I just wonder what has been the growth in Hindu population of Bangladesh since 1971 till date (like I say your brothers on our west have successfully reduced the "High population growth rates" of the Hindus, so much so that it accounts for 2% from 15-20% numbers in 1947)
I am just amazed that inspite of the state apparatus (food for thought for you), and the overt and covert support to the perpetrators of the Gujarat massacre, the even "moderate" to "slow" growth rate, Muslims now constitute 16-18% of Indian population...
We are sick man.....why do we have so much of tolerance?
