What's new

Dhaka-Sylhet six-lane highway project starts in July

Also pure Democracy do not work as our founding father did not want majoritarian tyranny like it exists in India and the views @Homo Sapiens espouses. that is why our founding father created electoral college :

This forum seems to have been invaded by Sylheti weirdos. There are far more bigger, far more diverse country than our's with tons of ethnicities and language are functioning well as a unitary state with single official language. Look at Indonesia, it is a vast unitary state with fragmented geography, immense number of ethnicities and local language functioning well as a unitary state with single official language. Japan's fragmented geography and vast expanses over the ocean did not prevent it from functioning as a strong unitary state or becoming developed. Vast majority country in the world are unitary state and they are functioning perfectly well. On the other hand look at Bangladesh, a geographically small country where 98 percent are of same ethnicity(Bengali), 98 percent speak the same language(with regional variations), 90 percent profess the same religion, fragmenting it by federalization would sound absurd for any rational mind.

Chakma shanti Bahini terrorists created unrest in Chittagong hill tract with the demand of federalizing Bangladesh and making CHT a federal state of Bangladesh. We suppressed them efficiently and they abandoned their fantasy with more realistic goal of tribal participation in local administration and regional development in CHT accord. Anyone who advocate federalization in Bangladesh or creating more national language out of nowhere is not a well wisher of Bangladesh. We should stop giving attention to such individuals, they thrive on our attention and reply.
You views belong to fringe ideology that has no place in 21st century, those were ideologies of 1950’s where newly formed countries suppressed minorities languages, cultures to bring about ethnic homogenioty, glad times have changed and world has become more civilized, you can be from different ethnolingual bakgrdound than the majority of the population from any nation state, that doesn’t make you less Patriotic and less Bangladeshi. You do not define anything. Also your language and majority language of a nation state maybe widely used and be utilized in Administration more be more dominant, doesn’t mean other language who belong to minority groups are not as important, doesn’t mean those languages do not merit the same respect. You sound like a fringe ethnofascist which is also against Islamic virtues and humanity as well.

You and your gang can imagine yourselves a totally different species than Bengalis we do not care. But the truth is, any attempt of federalizing Bangladesh or making any regional dialect as a separate official language will be fought tooth and nail by Bangladeshi people including vast majority of Sylheti public. Chakma terrorists learned their lesson and you should also. I do not wish any farther exchange with you.

And who are you ? What do you represent, Chakmas are a respected minority citizens of the Bangladesh and their uniqueness are also being preserved and protected by Bangladeshi government based on my research. You sound like a RSS and Myanmari Military terrorist yourself like those who contributed to genocide against minority Muslim rohingyas agaist their culture, religious beliefs and dignity and in favor majoritarian tyranny. Yours views reflect them the most. This has no place in 21st century and it is against international norm and are considered crimes against humanity. And BTW Sylhetis makes up 13% percent of a Bangladeshi population so your majoritarian tyranny against Sylheti Bangladeshies will not work and most people form other parts of Bangladesh will actually support us to preserve our ethno-lingual heritage in Bangladesh. You represent no one but yourself.

Let us not call them "Sylheti weirdo". Just because one claim to be a Sylheti, doesn't make them one. If you get my drift.

As for Shanti Bahini, here is a reminder for all of us:
https://www.nytimes.com/1989/06/11/world/bangladeshi-insurgents-say-india-is-supporting-them.html

Now look at the patterns in these threads and look at how the so-called "resentments" get validations and instigations from individuals from our neighboring country. It is the same old game.

You cannot forcibly make people something they do not identify as. they can be a proud Bangladeshi National and also be from a different ethno-lingual background in Bangladesh. In fact this is what Myanmari military terrorist regime has done against minority Muslims rohingyas, denying their religious liberty, and ethnolingual heritage and falsely calling them Bengalis instead of Rogingyas to further their genocide and ethnic cleansing ideology.

From the NYT article ending:

Bangladesh has stepped up a bitter army campaign against the Chakmas, sending them fleeing into India several times in the last 17 years. The 1986 exodus was the biggest. Rights Violations Reported


Amnesty International, the human rights organization, has reported serious violations of human rights in the Chittagong Hill Tracts by Bangladeshi military personnel, including rape, torture and indiscriminate shooting. Recent refugees say the assaults on women, capture of farmland by Muslim settlers and killing of Chakmas is continuing.

Yes a good reminder indeed...in context of the hypocritical squeal today about Rohingya. Karma has long presence in this region. Thats the greater and older "game".

I slightly agree with @Abu Shaleh Rumi. Hey

US Style Federalism is actually one of the best form of government, Our founding father created our government so no one branch of government is more powerful (Checks and Balances) and or dictatorial, Bangladesh is small, but it is not that small at all, many countries in the Middle East and South East Asia and Europe and America are a lot smaller. Finding a balanced and efficient form government and making amendments to better allocate resources, and implement taxation policy is not considered seccetionist, government structure needs continuous amendments and process improvements to efficiently govern, think of Government as a commercial company, business. As all companies improves their processes over time to better manage their company efficiently and maximize of profits and recourses. Continuous process improvements and reformation based on research and developments and to address past mistakes and inefficiency is the key. Decentralized government actually works the best to address those shortcomings. Bangladesh obviously need to better allocate and manage its government business efficiently. Even in a small state of Vermont, there 4 layers of government, State, city, county, and local jurisdictions; then there exist independent counties and cities within state as well. NYC also very very independent from the NYS when it comes to making policies that affects NYC citizens and allocating its resources. NYC is a lot smaller than the City of London. Gridlock in US federal government was deliberately created for rational debate and compromises. Many European states has similar type of government, Bangladeshi govt need to recognize Sylhet language ASAP and Declare it a co-official language of Sylhet division in Bangladesh and that is one the biggest grievance a large section of Bangladeshi Sylhetis have as many people from Other parts of the Bangladesh erroneously look down upon Sylheti language without realizing it is not a dialect but a language own its own right.


Please kindly see my post above for detailed answer. Also please watch the video as the video breaks it down why federalism is a best form of And efficient form of Government and actually works to build coalition and cooperation rather than secession. Lastly UK government structure showed its vulnerabilities during its recent Brexit crisis. I think parliamentary democracy is less efficient and federalism and republic style democracy.


And this video only address US federal Government Structure

You forgot the most important point- Bangladesh is not a federal state.

You are measuring Sylhet in Bangladesh from the lens of the US governance structure. Therefore, the argument is invalid.

I will not go into whether the Federalism is best or not.

I know for a fact that Federalism does give rise to "regionalism". For example, there are active movements to secede Texas in US. In Canada, we have the same issue with fringe groups in Alberta. And of course a major movement in Quebec.

For a small country like Bangladesh surrounded by imperialist and not-so-friendly neighbours, I do not think is the right mode of governance.

Of course there are instances of excesses by the military. But it still does not justify Indian Government interfering on internal matters of Bangladesh.

Just like it will not be fair if Bangladesh started arming and funding fringe groups in North East India or Kashmir for example.

Everything in life has exceptions, doesn’t mean it will happen, and Most Bangladeshis now have a strong national identity, this would be a better way to manage resources, one or 2 percent of voters do not alter anything. So this also doesn’t gives you the merit to take away the best form of government structure a nation, state it can offer to it citizens, residents for their well being and life, liberty and pursuit of happiness because of your supposed fear, rules are made based on research and well being and rationality, not on fear-mongering. When you respect and provide good living standards and better alternative for your citizens they would never revolt and seek secession. Why would people do something if they are happy with their government and all aspect of their lives? Here is the key point: when you provide the best alternatives, citizens will be informed and make the right choices based on their attachment and familiarity. Respecting and meeting citizen’s living standard and needs and providing them with a healthy economy and opportunities and liberty and where they can pursue their happiness is the key here.

Agree, but region is wound up very tightly in certain psychologies....stemming from all kind of things.

There is much pain and fear involved....so it just becomes somewhat might = right situation (with as little overt chaos as possible, but that also seeps through from time to time).

You know it, I know it. Humans and human organisation wont change.

Bingo! Hit the nail right on the head brother. :-)

Detractors accuse me all the time about pointing out false-flaggers falsely. :-)

Now see the evidence right before you and decide for yourselves. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it is a duck. See what agendas are being pushed and who is pushing them.

If people love their own country, would they be so cavalier about this?

Who gains if Bangladesh gets broken up?

Who has been at it for more than 60-70 years to break up Pakistan, succeeded, and now trying to destabilize Bangladesh?

Think my friends...:-)

Our country is already so small. Why break it up even farther?

What purpose would secession serve?

What grievance are Sylhetis facing being a part of Bangladesh?

feel good statement, if you cannot comprehend a efficient government structure based on all the materials I have provided, then I question whether if you have the critical thinking abilities to comprehend anything, these old feel good statement is getting you no-where you ethno-fascist are slowly being discarded in Bangladesh for pluralism, multiculturalism and human dignity. BTW Sylheti language will be recognized in Sylhet Division in the near future in Bangladesh as civil societies are learning more about it, PDF Bengali ethno-facist who lack crictical thinking abilities can not suppress Sylheti in Bangladesh. Language will be recognized and taught and will become an co-official language in Sylhet Division along with Bengali.Sylhetis are unique and integral part of Bangladeshi nation and their culture and language will be preserved. Sylhetis Makes up about 13% of Bangladeshi population, so suppression will not work, no matter how much otherwise you would like to twist it by interpreting it otherwise.

Indians who are interested in preserving the language go ahead and sign this pettion, as this pettion is about Indian Sylheti speakers: https://www.change.org/p/please-sig...ongue-sylheti-cachari-language-www-change-org

Im talking about autonomy not breaking Bangladesh!

We are paying Gucci price for Walmart Tshirt...
I tell you man it’s like they lack critical thinking abilities after all of the materials and even video that I provided they fail to understand and are hell bent on suppressing our language culture and our unique Islamic heritage and language in Bangladesh due to their ethnolingual puritanical view of Bangladesh, where world is moving toward multiculturalism, tolerance and efficient form of GoB. No language should go into extinction period. I guess anything that goes against their views, their lenses is what is contributing to this lack of critical thinking and objective and impartial understanding of facts and issue at hand.

LOL :rofl:

Why would any of us Sylhetis oppose anything that benefits us? Like, having an autonomous Sylhet where we are the alpha and the omega, having our language recognized as an official language. Don't care about other Bangladeshis (as always) but, why do you think any Sylheti would oppose these? :cheesy:

And about fighting us, you have no idea what we are. You think ordinary people has any say on Bangladeshi politics and administration? Bangladesh isn't a federal country, Bangladesh is an absolute centralized country where elites makes the decisions and ordinary peoples have to obey those. We just have to make deals with political and industrial elites. LOL...

Don't be emotional man, we Sylhetis are with Bangladesh because "we" choose to. We dont talk much, we love to stick within ourselves, that doesn't mean you can play stronk games with us...

Sylhetis will oppose because ''autonomous Sylhet'' does not benefit them. They will overwhelmingly choose national unity and cohesion over regional separatism and isolationism. You Sylheti nationalists weirdos at first try to organize a street possession in Sylhet city center with just 100 people demanding 'autonomy' 'federation' and 'separate Sylheti language' then see where you stand. I am yet to seen any such street possession happening in Sylhet city even once ever since Bangladesh became independent. This gave me the confidence of making previous statement. You weirdos are sweating over a issue whose demand does not even arise from Sylhet, let alone entering into public discussion or granting those!! PDF seems to attracting all kind of weird fetishist this days it seems.
