The original bengali accent and pronunciation is Padma. Check the bengali spelling.

7 pages for a simple patrol boat with brainless Indians trolling. And can anybody tell me how the hell is this an warship albeit its a decent achievement. If this is causing this much agony among Indians, I wonder what these lunneys would do if Inshallah we make an Indigenous frigate in the future.

"A warship is a ship that is built and primarily intended for combat. As well as being armed, warships are designed to withstand damage and are usually faster and more maneuverable than merchant ships."
thats how.

you and your thought both are idiot, BD made this ship with chinese technical collaboration

As I thought,this ship was built by Chinese and is Bangladeshi in name only.
You can see 2 chinese in the above pic.

i think khulna shipyard should from some Co-operation with "garden reach shipbuilders & engineers" (GRSE) kolkata as this,being the the oldest shipyard in India,has tonnes of experience in indegenously desigining and building heavier ships like the destroyers,frigates etc..this will help khulna shipyard to indegenously design and develop the future ships of BN,which,i guess,would be heaviour,stealthier,and incorporated with missiles and other accessories

BD build bigger ships than Kolkata but in private sector. We are after better technology and so the Chinese are here.

But in sylhoti, we pronounce it as "paddah". Right or wrong?

Its correct as the pronunciation evolved a bit.

That name "Padma" is for literate Bangalis, i.e. Bangalis who can read and write Bangla lipi.
The rest can spell it differently; like in Chattagrami for instance.

I like to add a bit. Bengali is a very fluid and dynamic language. Within the last one millennium it changed almost entirely. So when the spelling which was probably added to the dictionary in 19th century the literate and illiterate both pronounced it as Padma, but as the language evolved and the pronunciation shifted to its current form, its time to change the spelling as well. The written form of the languages are harder to change than the colloquial language.

Unlike other languages Bengali does adopt better spelling as the language evolves. The written form suppose to reflect exact form of pronunciation in Bengali. In English its not the case.

Is that the real reason?
Was there an evolution or a distortion in pronunciation vis-a-vis the spelling?
The Bengali language as it is spoken lacks certain sounds e.g. the "Va" sound. Though the consonant exists in the alphabet. Of course the spellings in time may be altered to accommodate dialects even which have even more distorted pronunciations e.g. from Chittagong or even Cox's Bazaar or the CHT. Even that will be evolution?

What a beautiful ship this Padma is!! This shows the real image of this vessel. But, I do not like that lady PM sitting in the pilot's cabin with cap on her head. It is an ugly site.

You are bringing a complete new subject and that is dialect. Dialect has its well distinguished space in the language and the spelling does reflect a particular dialect. If Padma is pronounced as Hodma (probably chittagonian) it will be spelled as such in dialect.

I was not talking about the dialect but the pure form of Bengali which itself pronounce Padma as Poddha.

WTF..........

Even though I hate her face but sometimes I like her enthusiasm.

Chittagonian (think they call it Chatgaia maybe?) is not a Bengali dialect, though a closely related language.

‘Padma’ latest Bangladesh Navy warship

Khulna Correspondent, bdnews24.com

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina says Bangladesh will win her litigation with India over disputed maritime boundaries in the Bay of Bengal.

Bangladesh won her litigation over disputed maritime boundaries with Myanmar in March 14 last year at the International Tribunal for the Law of the sea.

The same tribunal is supposed to pronounce its verdict on the India-Bangladesh maritime boundary dispute in 2014.

"We will win this case against India ," Hasina said as he addressed officers and ranks of the Bangladesh Navy in Khulna.

The Prime Minister welcomed moves to set up a deep sea port at Sonadia , saying that will boost the country's foreign trade substantially.

She said her government has already opened Chittagong and Mongla ports for neighbouring countries to improve bilateral relations and trade.

On Thursday, the first ever home made warship ‘Padma’ was added to the Bangladesh Navy in presence of Sheikh Hasina.

The ship was commissioned in Khulna’s Khalishpur BNS Titumir base and Hasina handed over the 'commission warrant' to the 'Padma' s Captain Lt Commander Shafiul Azam.

Later the Prime Minister inspected the warship.

At the commissioning event, Prime Minister said Bangladesh was not a country that sought wars. “We want peace, but we need to be prepared to defend ourselves."

She said the Navy had to be made modernised with latest technology within the limited resource Bangladesh has to offer.

‘Padma’ was one of the five warships, work on which began on Mar 5, 2011 in Khulna shipyard.

The Tk 580 million warship is 50 metres in length and 7.5 metres in width. Navy says it can travel up to 44 kilometres per hour.

‘Padma’ has four 37mm and two 20mm canons capable to aim at targets both on land and in air. It can also plant mines in river and the sea to hinder enemy entry.

Navy says in peace time the ‘Padma’ will be patrolling the Sunderbans and adjacent sea territory under Khulna Navy Commander.

The Prime Minister said that the Chinese, Indian and Myanmarese navies were becoming active in the Bay of Bengal .

She said that the Navy must be prepared to prevent any aggression on Bangladesh's maritime zone. “Our government is committed to develop a well- equipped Navy in future to protect our resources and to check arms trafficking and smuggling as well as to keep open the sea routes”.

Bangladesh Navy Chief Vice Admiral Jahir Uddin Ahmed and Commodore MA Rajib received the Prime Minister upon her arrival in Khulna Navy base.

A smart Navy turnout presented the Prime Minister the guard of honour.
