I don't appreciate this post. You've essentially called Bengali members here as emotional & unreasonable people who don't like India. I'm sure there are some of those. And I'm sure there are an equal # of irrational Indians too.
But overall, I believe most of the forum members here are...
Then you may call us Bangladeshi, if you like. I call us Bengali & I will continue to do so. I don't understand why this is even a point of discussion.
It's not my fault that you choose not to learn anything. Instead of keeping yourself in the dark, start reading. You have the internet. It's really easy.
Really? You're bringing up 1971 & you don't think you're a little bit emotional?
So Korea should stop trade relations with Japan? Japan...
This is what I mean by "anecdotal" - you tell me about a small article as evidence. What you say may be true but it doesn't talk about corruption as a whole in the government.
Here's what I'm offering as proof that corruption is decreasing: Transparency International (premier world-wide...
Ok - the words are in English but the sentences make no sense to me or doesn't really seem to have a lot to do with the discussion. Strange. If you don't like people from Bangladesh Bengali, don't call us Bengali.
Somehow I feel like you are really emotionally invested in this very odd...
Ok - let's do it this way: instead of teaching about the negatives, how about you tell me good things about Bangladesh : )
What is RAWAMI? And why would I be a hindu because I use the term "Bengali"? I'm Muslim but if I was a hindu-Bengali what would be wrong with that in terms of supporting...
2010 - I visited Bangladesh. And my understanding comes from sources like United Nations, Transparency International, EU, other agencies that collect & analyze raw hard data etc.
Here's what I think is the difference between us: I live in America & you live in Bangladesh. So I see the numbers...
Ok - I really don't know about this & I just don't care. It apparently means a lot to you guys but it means absolutely nothing to me. If you're going to talk about this, please do it elsewhere.
The point wasn't that one specific example. I've seen people posting in romanized-bangla bashing...
... even more confused... what argument? I didn't even realize there was an argument... :( If you'd like to call Bangladeshi-Bengali as specifically Bangladeshi, that is 100% fine by me. I just use a different vernacular, which I already defined.
... sigh... Why is this happening to my thread...
Do you have anything pertinent to add to the thread? We can talk about vernacular elsewhere - or Angry-Birds or Angry-Biharis (which somehow seems to be a popular discussion but completely random topic here... I only know 1 person of person of Bihari descent & she's really not angry...)
This is great in the sense that it's diversification of the economy. But I'd like Bangladesh to maintain 2kg per capita use of plastics (fantasy world! Ofcourse it's going to increase but at the end of day, plastics are not bio-degradable and Bangladesh doesn't have a lot of land to turn into...
... I'm confused ... Who is insulting? How were you trying to be insulting? How was I trying to be insulting? How did angry-Biharis come into a discussion about learning current-affairs in Bangladesh? Although angry-Biharis... Angry-birds! ^_^ We can talk about all that elsewhere if you like but...
My parents are Bangladeshi - which to me means Bengali. If you have a different vernacular, that's fine. But the point of my thread isn't "Bengalis cheer on India", which I do think makes good fiscal sense but still not what the thread is about or "Lets bash religious fanatic Bengalis" -...
heh ^^ either you called my topic useless or you called other topics useless. Either way - negativity without any real input means I have nothing to add
I don't know - maybe it's because I'm really Americanized that I expect people to show country pride. Maybe it's not a South-Asian thing...
Hi there. I'm an American-born Bengali. I've noticed that a lot of Bengali people tend not to know a lot about their country and consistently bash Bangladesh in public forums. Let me provide a few examples to explain what I mean:
