I can't give rating , but I am giving you a positive rating with my reply.
But, Dhaka will remain the nastiest city of Asia even in 3025, and Karachi will become a moderately lively and livable city. GDP figures say many things, but also do not say many other things. Better, BD people do not focus too much on GDP figures.
In the last 2500 years, Bengal was under Delhi's or any north Indian based empire's control for just 273 years. Under the Delhi sultanate from 1206-1338 AD and Under the Mughal from 1576-1717 AD. In other times, Bengal was independent kingdom or Sultanate. Ancient Pan-Indian Maurya and Gupta empire were originally started from the north western part of current Bangladesh and West Bengal. Their capital was Patliputra, which is just outside of traditional boundary of historic Bengal. They spoke ancient form of Bangla language. So it can not be claimed that, under Maurya and Gupta empire Bengal was under Indian domination. Actually it is the other way around.Same with Pala empire, Pala expanded their empire from Bengal to other north Indian region.It is only after the Islamic conquest of Indian sub continent when the direction of empire expansion reversed.Still out of 700 years of Muslim rules, Bengal was under Delhi's control for less than 300 years.So, Bengal is in every sense a different realm, separated from North Indian or South Indian geo-political sphere.It's language, culture, outlook are vastly different from North and west Indian based Hindustani culture.Just Because, ancient Bengalis were hindu/buddhist or current West Bengal population are majority hindu does not make Bengalis an Indian people.If that was the parameter then current Bali island hindus or Thai, Cambodian buddhist are also Indian as well despite their entirely different ethnicity, language and culture.
Hindus were certainly not loving the Muslims in Bengal. But, it is not altogether correct that the Muslims were oppressed by the Hindus. You can say, they were neglected. But, then I would say Muslims themselves are responsible for being neglected.
You have a bizarre way of understanding the history.
We should divide the origin of Indian empire as such Eastern empire, Western Empire and Southern Empire. Most of the great empires were from Eastern Empire whose capital were Pataliputra and Gour in various time frame. The Eastern empire consists of current day bengal but were thinly populated. Northern Bengal including Bihar was the main power base of Eastern Empire.
India was a term used historically much like Europe or Africa.A collective term of a region consists of different independent kingdoms, peoples and cultures.In medieval Europe, India was vague term which usually included the entire south east Asia as well. As since 1947, a country named after India emerged, we should no longer use that term to denote all of the sub continent. Otherwise it will reinforce the bogus Indian claim that Bangladesh and Pakistan was part of India before the British partitioned it. And Akhand Bharat dream will not diminish.So better we use the term of 'South Asia.'
Currently Gaur is in the border between Bangladesh and West Bengal. Major part of it in Malda district of West Bengal and minor part in Chapainawabganj district in BD. Our choto Sona Masjid and Boro Sona Masjid is part of that city of Gaur. In 16th century, it was one of the biggest city in the world with 1.2 million inhabitants according to Portuguese explorers.
Only the eastern part of East Bengal was thinly populated, Sylhet, Comilla, Noakhali, Chittagong region.Central portion Dhaka, Faridpur and Mymensingh region was pretty densely populated. Bikrampur in Dhaka was a famous learning center of the entire sub continent in ancient times. Atish Dipankar was borned in Bikrampur.When Bakhtiar Khilji attacked the capital Nadia, King Laxman Sen escaped to Dhaka and spent rest of his life here ruling the Eastern part of Bengal from Bikrampur.These things indicate a vibrant civilization in the middle part of current BD.
Northern Bengal and eastern part of Bihar which is known as Mithila or Magadh. This region was the nucleus of so many kingdoms and empires in history including Maurya, Gupta and Pala.
You guys believe in two specialized things about the Bangali Muslims:
Again bizarre... YOu are completely ignorant.
No comments.... there are plenty of documents which proves that most of the money were spent in West Pakistan and there were no chances that a Bengali political party would had been allowed to rule over West Pakistan. Period.
You probably do not know that the Zaminaries in the Hindu majority western Bengal were awarded to the Muslims during British time. The Muslim majority Eastern Bengal Zamindaries were given to the Hindus. Apart from this basic policy of the British, the other point is the Mughal policy in Bengal was to award Zamindaries mostly to Hindus. So, many Hindus were already Zamindars before the British came.
Predictions?
