Nation celebrates Pahela Baishakh

I think the beautifull ones are Chakmas and the ugly ones are Marma..

I find them all rather beautiful and so I could not make out the difference.

They seem to be, used to see people with those looks in the Chittagong-Cox's Bazaar region.

Are you a Chittagongi?

While others find shutki machh not suitable, I love it.

Of course, one has to prepare it well!

Shutki Mach is delicacy of highest order, and only a true Bengalis have it in them to enjoy it!

Agreed on that point.

No, no. Just had an opportunity to visit there over the years for professional/business reasons. Trying to understand the local dialect was not easy at all. But enjoyable visits on a personal level.

"Shutki Mach" is an acquired taste, just like various dried fish dishes in Western India.

Happy New Year to all my Bengalis out there

 

[Al-zakir]

Well, it's bit shameful but we hardly celebrate it like they do in Dhaka. Mostly people will have a special dinner in restaurants and nightclubs will play Bengali songs for a change.

Anyways here's some pictures.

It is a shame. Hindus are leaving their own culture while some islamic name mushrik recreating their forefather heritage. Well Muslim can retaliate against this agression anytime.

Now I believe that there were a lot hindus from bangladesh and west bengal in that rally.

you mean him

In 1193 AD Khilji destroyed Nalanda university, the oldest university in the world and that point the highest seat of higher education in India. he killed 15,000 scholars and 200 faculty of the university and razed the entire building complex to the ground. He burnt the library at Nalanda that houses some of the most precious collections of Buddhist history and Indian history.

I am sure you are, after all you guys love genocide....

To the people of barren, mountainous and dry countries that lay in the west of Hindustan, war was part of their life. War means killing and destruction, and 15,000 killing (if it is true) was very big when thought in terms of the number of population of entire Hindustan at that time.

However, I must say that the killing that you have stated has not stopped there. It continued almost through the six centuries that muslims were in power. But, since in most of the cases Hindus were not contestants, therefore, it was mostly Muslims killing each other throughout these centuries. Correct reading of history of this period manifests this.

Did he really do that. I am sorry about that. Wow!

How about Aurangzeb? Any complaint against him? He was also warrior king.

How'd you get to that conclusion?

It tastes ok with rice, but the smell bro..faaaar As you said only true Bengalis have it in them to like it!

Auranzeb was a hardliner who is equally hated by all in India by Sikhs and Hindus. He is well known for his obsession with religon and was highly against non muslims....

It won't smell if cooked by skilled cook.

Not for weak hearts though. Smell can make every single cell in your body revolt and if not cooked properly, one may end up having foodphobia. But they be damned. All hail Shutki Macch (made out of lotey macch).

I second that,I remember my last visit to Chittagong where still lies my ancestral home(now owned by Mr.Anwar Chaudhary) where I was hosted in a manner I experienced nowhere in the world.I specifically remember the warmth with which I was treated.As far the cooking goes the dried fish is a delicacy in Chittagong and as I was well aware of the awesome preparations this region offers to the palate of millions I asked for some baked Hilsa and lotya mach and found it to be awesome,the pungency was evident in most of the preparations and that added to the flavour,the taste is still in my memory or should I say palate.

What is Shutki Mach? I tried searching for it on the internet, but I couldn't find much.

Sounds like something to try out.

Dehydrated fish, like dehydrated peas and so on.
