He is on the list (55 or 56th, pls check), but first they had mentioned him as an Indian and corrected it later.

Unless Awami League is eradicated from BD politics BD would never be counted as a trusted ally by China, US or Pakistan.

I read that they even awarded 'Foreign Friends' crest to the owners of Star Jalsa and another Indian Sat Channel. Some of these 'friends' include persons who accompanied Hasina while she had been in India immediately after Mujib's death.

রাষ্ট্রযন্ত্রে ভদকার প্রভাব এবং ২০৪১ এর সুখ(ভদকা)-স্বপ্ন "Call me what you like, only give me some vodka" এটি একটি রাশিয়ান প্রবাদ। বলা হয়ে থাকে যে রাশিয়ানদের চাহিদামত ভদকা ( জনপ্রিয় রাশিয়ান পানীয়) সরবরাহ করা গেলে কম্যুনিজম আরো কিছুদিন টিকে থাকতে পারতো। বাংলাদেশের পররাষ্ট্র দফতর সহ অন্যান্য সকল...

Since they downgraded to Xenforo I can't thank any post from Opera mini.

Bangladesh may regain its lost status of World Championship in corruption soon. Joy Bangla!

‘FOREIGN FRIENDS’ GOLD CREST SCAM Govt initiates investigation Staff Correspondent The government has initiated a move to investigate the reported adulteration in the gold of crests given to foreign friends in recognition of their contribution to Bangladesh’s war of independence in 1971...

Lol it's not Time Magazine or Newsweek but Asian Awards Limited- first time I'm hearing of them. I bet this is an Indian organization based on the internet only. They even mentioned Dr. Yunus as an Indian (found in today's news) reason behind the title now I know.

@IamBengali, your source sucks. Where did this guy get 'char-doliyo jote' in 1993?

If you think all 'dialects' of Bengali spoken in East Bengal are mutually intelligible then this is an unsubstantiated opinion and you're in the minority. I'd ask you to read the entries for Sylheti and Chittagonian in Ethnologue and Wikipedia. While there are vocabualries similar in form and...

This man at least to an extent voiced the concern of common people boldly while rest of the BNP leaders including KZ don't have the courage to utter the name of India even when Hasina sends their leader to Pakistan every other day. BNP must leave this politics of convenience, otherwise they will...

We are pointing out the differences between Bengali and Sylheti. As I mentioned in a previous post lexical similarity between Sylheti and Bengali is 70%, which is 60% between English and German, and 85% between Spanish and Italian. Percentages higher than 85% usually indicate that the two...

Hasina is the Head of a Government who managed to remain in power without the mandate of people. She is the daudghter of a deity worshipped by the adherents of a religion called BAL. No one in her country can lie as much as she does. Now being able to remain in power in defiance of people's...

Syloti-Nagri alphabet The Syloti-Nagri alphabet is related to the Kaithi alphabet of Bihar. The exact origins of the alphabet are unknown and the earliest surviving manuscripts dates from either 1549 or 1774 (the date is given within the manuscript though the text is not clear at that point)...

There's no ground for denying admixture but enumeration of the extent without genetic study is not reasonable. Yes indeed there are lots of Muslim Bengalis who one can definitely tell by the looks of them that they are not Hindu (meaning not 'pure' ethnic Bengali) but no noticeable phenotypal...

Shah Suja took refuge in Tripura too at times. Check his biography in Wikipedia.

Is there any entry for 'Narayangonji' in Ethnologue or Wikipedia? What you're talking about is Mutual Intelligibility- another parameter for determining distinction/similarity between languages or dialects, which is a completely different aspect. Mutual Intelligibility is not only dependent on...

Thanks (can't thank from Opera mini since they downgraded to xenforo), I didn't know.

I don't have good knowledge of everything you said here, but the following are true: 1. Even today Sylhetis esp the older ones, educated or illiterate, call the people of other greater districts of BD 'Bengali'. 2. Sylhetis rarely marry outside Sylhet. Sylheti Chowdhuries rarely marry off...

There are Bengali Buddhists, they don't mingle much with Mongoloid Buddhists.
