Lol, there are no others like me bro but you've made it quite clear how your mind works.
Sadly, racial prejudice and jamati bigotry aren't rare. Why is genealogy so important to you. All a person needs to do is look in the mirror or get a DNA test and their genealogy will become apparent. It still won't change your nationality.
You don't seem to understand my 'discomfort' at your line of thought. My issue is:
Perhaps in an effort to 'outclass' the Indians you have gone on a racial tangent. You cite our Persian, Arab, mughal, rajput history but fail to mention any others, in an attempt to airbrush history (which apparently you are just trying protect here). I don't mind that you are trying boost your nations pride, with reference to powerful ancestors. What I mind is that you are also devaluing the millions of poor non-Arab Muslims who are your countrymen. Do you not believe all Muslims are equal? Let alone the poor minorities
You are displaying misplaced imperialism my Chitagangi friend. Or shall I say you are too keen for reflected glory.
I won't say it again after this please be proud of being a Bangladeshi.
this is national 'genealogy' being discussed. there isn't supposed to be any personal reference, although you and Mattrixx tried to turn it that way at one point.
the problem is you are saying clearly you have a problem discussing the historical racial diversity of this Bangladesh landmass. and right afterwards, you think ones who do not have a problem with that are less nationalistic than you.
whatever nationalism means, the kind of nationalism that is selective about its own historical ethnicities is no nationalism at all.
if you feel a discussion neglected a part of history, you should bring that up, instead of complaining about the part that was not neglected. i am yet to see you name groups or communities that i denied were part of the Muslim civilization.
indeed there were powerful ancestors in our history. and if you have problem with BDis mentioning them, you can simply leave this discussion. the Muslim civilizations were a product of both the powerful and the powerless, and also diversities in occupations and ethnicities and so on. this is the essence of what some members (including me) here concluded in the history threads.
but it's written all over this thread that you hate discussing Mughals (including the Hindu Rajput component) and Persians and anyone who migrated here from outside the subcontinent. this is the same as hating Bangladeshis and their history. if you claim to be one, you are only hating yourself that way.
your case is, you are particularly against the Muslim civilizations because of ideological reasons. you think, that by neglecting the non-indigenous influences of this region, we can be made to come closer to cultures that are
without much non-indigenous influence. and this is similar to how powerful Hindus during colonial period attempted to remove cultural influences borne out of Muslim civilizations.
