The only powerful Punjabis alive today are Shareef brothers. The army has a strong Punjabi and Pashtun mix. I would ask a Bangladeshi to visit urban cities of Pakistan's Punjab province and see the varied mix of people. Sikhs recently visited Pakistan and were shocked at the hospitality they recieved despite being responsible for the ultimate massacre of Punjabs Muslim population in 1947. Just as Bangladesh is reality so is Pakistan. The consequences would be disasterarous for the region if any attempt was made to destroy either nation. Pakistan has absolutely zero interest to indulge in such matter as it has no political influence in Bangladesh. However we cannot speak for India's ambition especially of the ideology of Akand Bharat.
I'd suggest less paranoia and more kissing and making up. At least outwardly. Sikhs can get a bit hairy though. (JK)
That way you can get some semblance of stability to make the nation economically stronger.
local languages cannot be majority in anyway in any country with diverse population in subcontinent. For example here in Pakistan lets say Punjab has more population than other provinces and Punjabi speakers are majority but imposing any such provincial language will not serve the purpose even of Punjabis. In the same length for years people have been doing politics here in my province in the name of Pashto and Pashtuns but again even when Pashto was included as medium of education in some parts of KPK majority of us opted for Urdu and English. Urdu was neutral language and not ETHNIC one so it was the better option then going for Bengali or Punjabi or any other regional language. Even in Bangladesh, Bengali being main official language is not the way to future progress in coming eras. You will be more and more inclining towards English. anyway Language was not the issue. THis linguistic nationalism was adopted by your politicians to divide and gain own political goals. On part of West Pakistan, the biggest mistake or injustice on our part was NOT to let the majority party from East Pakistan to form government. It had nothing to do with any bias or hate towards East Pakistanis or Bengalis. The same political tug-war is going in Pakistan when small provinces hardly are let to form government at center by certain political families.
Excellent and reasonable explanation.
