I'm not a Khaleda Zika supporter but some of those things on the manifesto, such as restricting power of the head of state and non-partisan state institutions, I WOULD like to see implemented. However I doubt the BNP would do such a thing if they are in power, it's just a game of switcharoo...

Yeah I'd say that's quite an apt comparison.

Horrible to hear.

Shiva is the male figure underneath her.

Considering his other posts, I'm absolutely certain that was sarcasm. But I'll let @bdslph speak for himself.

This guy can't even stay consistent in his hatred for Bangladesh :lol:. This is the same person who started a thread on how Bangladeshis were fundamentalists who were driving minorities out the country, but now according to him we are all committing shirk and "Good Hindus". At least pick a story...

I honestly wouldn't mind this, the Bangladeshi public deserve to know the full truth.

The biggest problem with her, more than anything else, is that she is genuinely just not a good writer. Relies purely on shock value to sell copies.

The headline is that Dhaka University will stop serving beef, which isn't true, it's a sensationalized headline. The banning of beef is limited to the single canteen in which the controversy happened, which does happen to be the Hindu Students Canteen. (of course Muslims CAN and DO eat there...

My point isn't about whether the law can or should be changed, I'm asking a question of how strict/laxed the Bengali Hindu attitude towards beef eating actually is. Are you a Bengali Hindu? Calm down mate the sensationalized headline has already been debunked.

But the law that made it legal (The West Bengal Animal Slaughter Act) dates back to 1950? surely it can't be that much of an issue if it's been legal for over half a century.

I thought Bengali Hindus generally don't have a problem with Beef? That's why it's legal in West Bengal?

You are thinking of England as a political institution, which began with William the Conqueror yes, however they have had multiple dynasty changes since then. The Normans, Plantagenets, Yorkists, Lancastrians, Stuarts, Hannover, and then the current house of Windsor, although a;p technically...

I assume the problems in Chechnya? I could be wrong.

Longest? Possibly if you mean single dynasty (though they do have contention from the Habsburgs and the Yamatos), but definitely not largest. That would be the British, or if you mean land specific then that would be the Mongols.

Bangladesh at 43, could be better, hopefully it is on an upward trend.

Underrated hero of ours, definitely. His dynasty in general is quite interesting, as I think they are pretty much the only Indo-Islamic sultans of confirmed paternal native ancestry (as far as I know, definitely the only example in Bengal). Unfortunately there's not a great deal of information...

There is "A" opposition party in the parliament (the Jatiyo party), however they lack popular support, the "real" opposition party (the BNP) chose to boycott the last election and therefore have 0 seats in the parliament right now.

There's the issue of how unbiased/fair the electoral commission of the last election was, to the point that it was considered enough of an issue that the BNP boycotted the last election, leaving the Awami League as the only major party in the parliament, along with a few token opposition groups...

That's a whole other issue. :lol: You could see a thread go on this section for maybe 10 pages on that subject.
