We are Pakistanis bcz we believe in two nation theory based on religion, Whereas bengalis opted for separation on the basis of race? bengali nationalism!!.
Now, you have just gone and shot yourself in the foot. Why ? Because it was Jinnah (based on Chaudhary Rehmat Ali's theory), who felt that the Subcontinent should be divided into 4 main contiguous units, Pakistan, Hindustan, Dravidistan and Bangalistan way back in June 1940. And when he felt that the Muslim League had no say at the national level to demand Independence, he played his Religion card to be supported by Suhrawardy, falling for his "united" Pakistan theory. So Jinnah, contradicted himself, simply to be seen as a Leader of the masses who played on the fear-psychosis of his followers of the Two-Nation theory. Which is exactly what you are doing now.
Off topic, but just to give you a complete Picture, when Jinnah ran riot for a mass contact province in Punjab, he argued that the Muslim League was the custodian and trustee of the whole Muslim Nation, despite the Muslim League being called the "Motor League" in those days. In fact, Sir Bertrand Glancy, the Governor of Punjab told Viceroy Wavell
Jinnah preached as if Pakistan is the panacea of all ills, but avoided any reasoned explanation of where it began or ended and what benefits it would confer. "He might make an ideal leader of a Demolition Squad, but anything in the way of constructive suggestions seem foreign to his Nature."
We are Pakistanis bcz we beliveve the supermacy of Urdu as the language of Muslims over all other regional languages, whereas bengalis hates Urdu in every aspect.
Do you know how many people speak Urdu in Pakistan ? About 8% of your population. Go figure.
Most of bengali people thinks that the sole burden of Pakistan separation is on the shoulder of West Pakistan whereas the fact is right from the begining you never trusted in two nation theory, Yes you created Muslim League but the sole purpose of it to secure your intrests in divided bengal circa 1906 division, you never dream of a nation base on religion.
Your entire BS has been supplanted by what i have mentioned above. Read carefully and assimilate.
The fact is after 38 years of seperation, you found yourself in a hole, bcz if you are true bengali than you should merge with West bengal or vise versa but west bengals hate you, you know why? Its your religion which you left behind 38 years back.
As i see now, Pakistan is the one which is in the Mother of all Holes, dug by Bhutto and later by Zia Ul Haq. Bangladesh, currently, has a growth rate of higher than Pakistan, and is doing well, where Droning and shelling and daily Diwalis are not the order of the day for them.
Today you could not claim to be the soldier of bengali nationalism (Amar sonar bangla) nor you are the soldier of Islam, I just don't know what you are hence called you only bengladeshis.
A long time ago i read an interesting fact about Pakistanis here. And that they think that they are more Arabic than the Arabs, and much more related to the Arabs than the Hindus ; What they don't understand is that they are also treated like the Bangladeshis and Indians in Arabia, as a 3rd rate national. So much for the "Soldier of Islam" mumbo-jumbo.
