what do you think about this??

[bongbang]

imposing a false identity that people don't understand or even identify with to get rid of "identity crisis"? do you even know what that phrase means? Bengali nationalism (even if it was not Brahmin supremacism) should be banned in Bangladesh. basically anything that clashes with our Muslim-state identity should be banned. Bangladesh nationalism with proper discourse about this land's roots in the 1947 creation of separate Muslim and Hindu states has to be emphasized. if you think this is what drives Muslim-Hindu division, you are wrong. Muslim-Hindu hostilities are because of India's hostile attitude and violation of the sovereignty of East Pakistan/BD and West Pakistan since 1947. you lack basic knowledge (or consciously choose to be ignorant) about Bangladeshis' linguistic culture and history, and bothering too much about someone else's "identity crisis"!

We will learn our history even before christ. Why this mere 1947 figure only. And we earned it through 1971. If you want to impose us anything then earn it too, bring it on any rebellion. If you win you can impose on us anything you want. Why trying to prove that Bangladeshis have same linguistic culture? We have different heritages.

do you know why this place was called bangala centuries ago ? because our ancestors spoke bangla bhasha . Bangla language was born in our land and became a rich language because of direct interaction with other cultures.

This place wasnt called Bangla because of its language. Bangla is a geographical location not language.

poor and hollow argument to justify imposing an alien language created in a rush by Brahmin pundits in the British colonial era. may I know why you are trying to promote this Brahmin "shudh Bengali" so much and even rejecting Urdu, even though Urdu has been closer to Bengal's Muslims as a prestige/literary language? why was Persian the official language of Bengala/Bengal's inhabitants?**

today's "shudh Bengali" was never picked up by Muslims until Brahmins ascended to power in the British era and developed this language to get rid off Muslim influence (1700s to 1900s). educated Muslims learned "shudh Bengali" not as their own language, and they had never given up Urdu at least. and now people like you and Anubis are trying to re-write history saying Urdu does not concern us at all! if you have doubts about these or are short on information, please let me know - we can learn together. these matters are not debatable whatever your political affiliation is.

**East Bengal's Muslims and Bengal's Muslims in general use various dialects, instead of shudh Bengali, as native tongue considered 'slang' variety, not prestige or literary mediums.

I KNOW IT'S NOT TAUGHT IN MADRASHA BUT IT'S NEVER LATE TO LEARN .BANGLA IS OVER THOUSAND YEARS OLD JUST GOOGLE চর্যাপদ .BANGLA ,PERSIAN,HINDI,URDU ARE ARYAN LANGUAGES AND SHARE NO FAMILY LINAGE WITH SEMETIC LANGUAGES LIKE ARABIC, HEBREW ,DRUZE.MUGHALS AND BRITISH RULERS PATRONIZED URDU. WHEN PAKISTAN BECAME INDEPENDENT ONLY 7% OF THE POPULATION SPOKE URDU AND 59% SPOKE BENGALI

I am saying our language is called Bangla because it evolved in Bangla and that means it is indigenous not as alien as some madrasha going arab fanboys were suggesting

The only thing that this tells me is that most Bangladeshis are uneducated and clueless.

You can't blame them......Ban the ads!

any Bangladeshi from a more educated background, and almost every somewhat-educated Muslim and even many non-Muslims outside Bangladesh would know. not only did you follow an unfortunate practice among some BDis of messing up Muslim naming conventions, you did not even know after being pointed out. and you're also trying to act over smart.

That doesn't explain why or how you quoted my post from another thread.
US House Subcommittee Hearing: Bangladesh’s Fracture: Political and Religious Extremism | Page 2

No relation with the topic whatsoever. Let alone your agenda.

Who was trying to be overly smart now?
