in 1971 the ilks of Zia were used by far leftist Indian agents, the Tajuddins, Tufails, Sultana/Sufia Kamals, Hasan ul Haq's and all the other Agartala/communist types. even Sheikh Mujib cannot be said to be a part of this group but was groomed and used by them to further their anti-theistic...
today's Pakistan has a clear responsibility to at least call this act of terror an act of terror. and yes Salahuddin Qader Choudhury and Ali Ahsan Mujahid had every right to at least be "political agents" of their own country, like any citizen of their respective nation can be. and there is...
which is already happening in the form of having Indian proxy Awami League (legally) kill anyone and everyone questioning India's 1971 invasion and ongoing domination of what is called Bangladesh.
Ghazwa-e-Hind was already "attempted" the day Muslims wanted to salvage their own destiny during...
I'm so glad our geography is more suited for communist type mentalities that officially took over in 1971 eating our guts out. The wants of BD population never mattered and it is still very much so. Bangladesh is sovereign, my foot. I'm sorry but Bangladesh is another word for a big joke. The...
Bangladesh is a Hindu supremacist state with Muslim majority population. secularism does not exist here. true secularism can exist only with Islam oriented system.
these Indian posters commenting sensitively do not know the opening thread heading refers to BAL goons who are champions of...
Bangladesh is already infected with something as dangerous as ISIS if not more so i.e. BAL. Hindu supremacy reigns. every facet of Muslim tradition and heritage is criminalized in Bangladesh. Muslims are majority but so discriminated.
If Tagore is the butt of jokes in his own country India, there should be more reason for him to be the same in Bangladesh. in fact no one in BD takes it seriously this Indian colonization pride song aka "national anthem" Amar sonar Bangala
Tagore is foreign and an adversary to the very basis of...
spot on! i also like to think of myself as having secular outlook. because of that, i would like to see proper representation of Muslims' heritage. I would like to see less of exclusively Hindu culture being touted as secular i.e. as being 'Muslim' as well. i see Hindus as my brethren who should...
in a civilized non-fascist society or in a society that is not considered a joke, a settler from elsewhere generally does not forgo their native culture wherever it is from. the settler's offspring might not have the same culture as the settler but that is due to intermarriage or social...
but some success is there. i'm more worried about foreign Hindu (Rabindric) culture injected through Bangladeshi programming than through Indian programming. Indian Bengali programming is also worrisome. although no one in my generation subscribes to Bangladeshi programs, older people maybe a...
still Rabindra Tagore is a representative solely of the Brahmin society, as his works were hardly about lives or culture of Muslims, which is perfectly fine with me because R. Tagore was not Muslim. i appreciate your mentioning Alauddin-Ali Akbar Khan's contribution to South Asian classical...
@bongbang is more interested in a certain Brahmin upper class from colonial era (where Tagore hails from) than in his Muslim forefathers or even any pre-Muslim forefathers. the Muslim population and culture from greater Pukhtoonkhwa to Bengal could not have emerged without converts from...
Bengali Muslims or Muslims in general are the dominant people in BD, my foot. if we were we wouldn't have kept Tagore literature and music to represent us, or have changed our own country East Pakistan into "Bangladesh", or have been under Indian military occupation in 1971. these are just few...
what i feel is Muhajirs in Bangladesh do maintain their heritage and should continue to do so (even though officially they are invisible), because for one, Bangladesh is not North Korea as you wish.
there should be no amnesty given to anyone with records of hate crimes on patriotic Bengalis and...
