People like him probably feel more affinity to Muslims in India/Pakistan elsewhere than they do to our own Hindu and other brethren in Bangladesh.

Not really, would Arabs or any other Muslim nation name their ships on Bangladeshi Muslim personalities? I don't think so. Islam, like all religions should be a personal belief. Believe me, I'm a proud Muslim, but at the same time, I'm a proud Bengali. Bangladesh is not based on the Muslim...

Yes, that is true they do have support of the west. However, a secret insurgency without anyone knowing is certainly not quite hard, and many countries have done it before or still do, like ISI during the early 2000s in Afghanistan for e.g. While on the other hand, it is quite impossible to...

The full border demarcation is good, so they can't blame Bangladesh for imaginary illegal immigrants and such.

Our recent naming system for our ships/subs have been outrageously elegant. It's good to see the military finally embracing the ethnic heritage instead of naming them over irrelevant personalities in relation to the nation, like 'Abu Bakr' for e.g. Jamatis may be upset over my opinion, but its a...

Myanmar is a hostile state, a change of government from military junta to 'democracy' won't change much of its policies To be honest, if we were still now part of Pakistan or India, we would invade the damn country already to help our ethnic brethren. Unfortunately, our government is quite...

Actually, it would be better for India and the region for Kashmir to seccede to join Pakistan or become independent. The move would bring regional stability, and terrorist incidents will decrease. Pakistan and India would establish friendly relations which would actually be really good for the...

Kashmir should be a part of Pakistan or an independent country IMO. It's population is really small, around 12 million, while there's more Muslims in West Bengal even.

Lmao what, my nationality is Bangladeshi/Canadian, but at the end of the day I can gain citizenship of any country in the world, or change my religion, even get a different face, but at the end of all of this, I would still remain ethnically Bengali. I cannot change that part of myself ever. By...

I'm not affiliated with or support any political party, as I realize that all of them are the same and all are corrupt. I support the Bengali people plain and simple. And also please stop trying to make as if India is trying to devour us. People with that mentality give us bad reputation...

Speaking of the politician here, individuals have different views and the citizens of that country do not have to automatically endorse these views. I would also like to state the issue of Balochistan and Bangladesh are totally different. We were 56% of Pakistan, Baloch are a mere 3-4%. While...

Most AJK people are Potohari Punjabis right, not ethnic Kashmiris of the valley?

Very interesting read indeed, It would be good for the development of the region if it were to be partitioned along ethnic lines between Bihar and West Bengal, since currently, the whole Purnia division is among the most backwards regions in India. I certainly hope that this does happen in the...

The future of Bangladesh is certainly bright, but it would be prospering even more if not for corrupt politicians and the large uneducated masses. Speaking from a real-world view, especially in terms of a Bengali mentality, we cannot eliminate corruption. However, we can promote education and...

The Bangladeshi navy is our best component of the tri-services. However, we need to invest in other units of the armed forces, especially the air force when in modern times, aerial warfare is becoming more mainstream than frontal ground or naval warfare.

Indeed claiming Bihar as Bengal is bogus. However, many parts of Bihar (including Jharkhand too here) are still ethnically Bengali. Kishanganj district and adjacent districts are inhabited by people who speak Surjapuri language, which is a dialect of the wider Rangpuri/Rajbangshi language spoken...

There's actually a lot of families in Chittagong where Chakma girls have married into Bengali families, uncommon but they do exist. Urban Chakmas are less conservative, one famous example being the artist kanak Champa Chakma.

Well, frankly speaking, half of the Bangladeshi posters here or so are out of their mind, religious/ultranationalist zealots who's posts are driven rather by emotion than by logic, understandably so. However, on the other hand, Indians like you and 'rain man' are naive. 'India', 'Bharat'...
