Nepal bans almost all Indian cable news channels for spreading fake news and propaganda

Bangla is not a language but a family.


All bangalis are bound at the soul, I can't explain it in words.


It's just a feeling, the feeling of being bengali.



And no my dear Punjabis, we don't have a superiority complex, I don't know why you accuse us of having one.

Chand'er Buri tur turi Chorka kate na!

What does this signature line mean? I know it has something to do with the moon and perhaps, charkha...a spinning wheel?

It's a child's tale, a poem that my great grandmother sung to my mother as a child. I don't know the full poem and my mother doesn't remember but you got the gist of it.


The moon's hag (old lady) doesn't use a spinning wheel.

Maybe something to do with the British destroying the handloom Industry of Bengal. I'd put my money on this, the Brits came down hard on the Bengalis.

Wow, Bengal is home to some of the world's greatest literature. Truly amazed!

Many struggles of the Bengali nation were documented into poems and childrens tales and preserved over centuries.


The barghis were a group of marauders from the Maratha empire, who plundered bengal regularly during the 1740s using fast cavalry before the Bengalis could respond.

Bengal was a hub of culture and was a rich nation as such it was targeted like looters and marauders.


There is a well-known poem in Bangladesh and I believe it's sung in WB aswell. It's about the barghis.

It's goes the child is asleep, everything is silent
The bargis have invaded our nation
Birds (bulbuls) have eaten my grains
How will I pay my dues (tax)

LOL, I read about that one before? So you mean to say @TheGreatMaratha ancestors kind of plundered your ancestors? Maybe he owes you reparations.

We will send some ghuspetias (illegal Bangladeshis) to take whats ours


Alot of people wronged the Bengalis, they will all pay in due time, the curse of Bengalis lays heavy on the enchanted.

I really find it amazing that from all the wonderful literature from Bengal, you found this poem to showcase Bengali literature pride. @Joe Shearer can maybe provide a better view of Bengali literature.

No offense to you, it was the only thing that came to my mind at that point and it was on documented on Wikipedia, so I thought it'd be educational.


Didn't mean to offend you.

Have you just forgotten the oath that you just took? Or was that just a typical fake act that you have a habit of doing?

Didn't mean to offend you.

But seriously, is this the best Bengali literature that came to your mind?

Don't worry, he's a good sport. I offend him all the time.

Of course not but it's was in context of the post, struggles of Bengalis documented into poems.

I don't have any gripe towards anyone or even your ancestors, that's life, sometimes you plunder.


I have more recent things to be bitter about but I and my countrymen choose to let it go, we have big hearts.


I didn't mean to offend you, but my apologies if you're offended.

This is a nursery rhyme, sung in the west, that was regularly plundered by the Bhonsles out of Nagpur. It is a mother's plaint, and still resonates in every Bengali heart.

The English/British settlers in Calcutta were known as the Ditchers. They dug a deep ditch around Calcutta, called the Maratha Ditch - guess why? That ditch was covered over in later years, and is yesterday's Upper Circular Road and Lower Circular Road, running from Shyambazar, to the river at Hastings.

@DalalErMaNodi must have hit upon this one 'accidentally-on-purpose'.

 

[DalalErMaNodi]

I don't like to people to misunderstand.

I'm even polite to Sanghis, most of the time anyway.

@DalalErMaNodi must have hit upon this one 'accidentally-on-purpose'.

Totally.


It slipped my mind, that he was Marathi and would potentially take offense.

 

[TheGreatMaratha]

@DalalErMaNodi must have hit upon this one 'accidentally-on-purpose'.

Yeah, that's obvious. So much for mutual respect from a Bangladeshi I guess.

Don't get angry. It's long past. My 'dak-nam' (among my father's people) is Tilak; no hard feelings for the Marathas any more.
