12) India colonized Muslim Bengal in 1971 and turned it into Hindu "country". colonizers are hardly popular in their colonies so stop celebrating Indian invasion day every year on Dec 16. by the way, India instigated the war/India started the war. India was already 'entered' in the war right...

no as i understand JeI were not too supportive of separation of British India into three in 1947

this form of Bengali was a product of Hindu mahajan and bhadralok class. this is form of Bengali does not represent Muslims of area at all, yet you are supporting its imposition on Muslims. why not just support its application among those Hindu classes? this formal Bengali has never been a...

i apologize. the Bengalis were the pioneers of Pakistan. they were the most Pakistani out of all Pakistanis

when you have a history of illiteracy, its signs live on in many generations afterwards. the current demographics of Pakistan contains descendants of past generations more educated than our own (including pedigreed Bengali Muslims who were forced to migrate to West Pakistan by Muslimphobia in...

our current standard Bengali is "full of Arabic and Farsi words" after 80% of Muslim-influenced words were taken out when Hindus developed this form of Bengali for close to 200 years colonial period. the Musalman Bengali and most other Muslim-influenced languages of subcontinent are not only...

what are you on? the Bengalis WERE Pakistanis. A) the West Pakistan had well-developed military infrastructure they inherited from British. the British favoured Punjabis (both Muslims and non-Muslims) in their colonial military for political reasons. B) WP also received more Muhajir migrants...

OT yes i didn't like his marriage either. Imran Khan's politics is still stellar. i hope the new Mrs. Khan represents Muslim values well.

sorry this forum may include various strategic issues of Bangladesh, and it seems the poster who opened this thread knew that. in fact you said very correctly in an earlier statement that language and culture, especially including past history and politics, have strategic importance for any...

because BAL communists want a myth to continue that it was Sheikh Mujib who declared East Pakistan an Indian vassal "Bangladesh"

story sounds fake. by the way when will India officially apologize for colonizing a sovereign country East Pakistan in 1971 and when will it stop its proxy rule in today's BD?

you do seem happy that most Bangladeshis would be ignorant about the formal Hinduized Bengali. and they are too uneducated/gullible to understand how they are being dominated by Hindus and semi-Hindutva/Muslimphobic ideology when... - they are told to replace their native Muslim-influenced...

even amid the volatile political environment, many people of BD have openly remained loyal to the concept of Pakistan. so by not migrating to West Pakistan doesn't mean they sold their souls to Indian imperialism calling those little monsters 'educated' is an insult to the concept of education...

i may insult BD because i love this land too much fair point. i don't think the way partition was carried out helped the Muslims a lot, and was unfair for us in many ways. India inherited unfair share of the wealth and historic cities that actually developed under the leadership of forefathers...

the Bangladeshis pioneered the Pakistan Movement and the Pakistan nation in important ways. East Pakistan had every right to remain East Pakistan. the Dhaka division people also have different culture, dialects/languages, etc. from Barisal division people. your last sentence doesn't mean anything.

yes 1947 "was a grave mistake" because in your opinion Muslims should have continued to live like second-class citizens and continued to go downhill socio-economically. and if you think 1947 Partition is the reason that the three countries of the Indo-Pak don't get along, you are wrong. the...

...and also like other 'Indic' languages like Punjabi, Gujarati, Sindhi and others which also have Persian-Arabic script for Muslims

when you say ""we" shoved it down" - who is the "we" there? arguably Bengali Muslims supported Urdu's continuation in East Bengal more than West Pakistani or Muhajirs did. Khwaja Nazimuddin was a Bengali whose mother tongue was Urdu but almost all educated Bengalis of his time were well versed...

i appreciate your forward looking thoughts. but former East Pakistanis had their national framework turned upside down by India. since 1971, India has or tried to directly control who gets to govern this land called Bangladesh. i wish what happened in 1971 was just brethrens parting ways because...

historically the Muslim community of Bengal was not very much based on a fixed ethnic pool. so there were numerous historical ethnicities that mingled together to form the Muslim community in Bengal. both current Bangladesh and Pakistan exist as a result of multi-ethnic efforts (if Gujarati...
