In every thread like this, there turns up a jingoistic fool.
I am glad you have stood up, been recognised, and that we can now go back to discussion.
I think you couldnt grasp the meaning of my post. Lets clear myself.
While West Bengal's symbol of transportation is: Hand pulled Rickshaws, Ambassador Taxis, Trum
There Bangladesh's symbol is: Cycle Rickshaw
So there are some differences between the two people relating this lifestyle.
While West Bengal was created on the basis of religion, Bangladesh was created on the basis of nationalism.
So Durga is the symbol of joy and unity of West Bengal. Bangladeshis also do their respective religious tasks but their national pride and symbol is Shaheed Minar, Sriti Shoudho, Pohela Boishakh.
The op also strike me by calling us Bengalis non martial race which was imposed on us by the British.
So I showed the pics that we reclaimed our martial status back. While the West Bengalis couldnt. Now some West Bengalis can say stuffs like they are better integrated in other units of IA but my point is the Bengal force which was scrapped by the British, independent India never revoked that decision. Yes Bangladeshis are proud on this that they operate their own independent ethnic Army and Indian Bengali mindset is different that whole IA is theirs.
difference with bangladeshi and west bengali is that i wear a dhoti...and this
@bongbang wears a lungi....
I had only wear Lungi once or twice. Its a thing of working class, older generation and Villege comfort. While Dhoti is used in festivals like puja and Hindu weddings. Bangladeshis wear panjabi pajama in namaj and Muslim weddings.
bangladeshies i have met are clear & proud about there relgeon and indian bongolies are confused about it
You are confused, it seems. They are very conscious of their religious identity.
Bangladeshi readers read all the writers, dont judge by one's religious identity. They judge its readable or not.
While west Bnegal readers dont like to read Muslim Bengali stuffs. When they see Muslim terms like Amma, Fupu, Namaj strange reaction strikes them.. Its confirmed by one of their writer Samaresh Mojumder, that compared to Bangladeshi readers West Bengali readers are much more fundamentalist.
“আমাদের বই যখন বাংলাদেশের পাঠকরা হাতে পান, তখন তারা বিচার করেন না- এটা কোন ধর্মের লেখক। তারা বিচার করেন এটা পাঠযোগ্য কিনা, কাহিনী তার ভালো লাগছে কি না, কিংবা পড়তে তার আরাম লাগছে কি না। কিন্তু বাংলাদেশের লেখকদের বই আমাদের পশ্চিমবঙ্গের হিন্দু পাঠকরা আম্মা, ফুপা, নামাজ এইশব্দগুলো যখন দেখতে পায়- তখন তাদের মধ্যে একটা অদ্ভুত প্রতিক্রিয়া তৈরি হয়। এবং এই প্রতিক্রিয়ার কারণেই বাংলাদেশের অনেক লেখকের বই এখানকার পাঠকদের কাছে পৌঁছে না। আমি পরিষ্কার করে বলছি, বাংলাদেশের পাঠকদের তুলনায় পশ্চিমবঙ্গের হিন্দু পাঠকরা অনেক বেশি মৌলবাদী।" সমরেশ মজুমদার
Almost fell of my chair seeing the effort you put into highlighting parts of your own quote!
