Do Bangladeshis under appreciate the great Quaid e Azam?

.
Not true
Not every educated Bangladeshi is a kolkata conaisseur. Maybe Cityfolks. But then they also speak Banglish, wich is cringey.
This post shows you are not very familiar with BD and its dialects - nothing wrong with that. You would know better about dialects in the Norway.

Anyway, let's just respectfully agree to disagree. It is a trivial topic.

Japanese people have the luxury of not learning English as they are not technologically dependent on other countries, we don't.
Agree about the other barriers you have listed.

It is not too much to ask Bengalis to learn two languages (three languages for the 2% non-Bengali Bangladeshis).
You can show all the respect in the world to Bengali yet learn good English.
You're living in Australia so you must be well aware of the acute shortage of skilled tradesmen there. Bangladeshis are not able to take up opportunities in Australia and other develped countries due to lack of English education and international standard techinical training.
This is why I continue to scream about setting up an internationally certified English language and trades school in each upazilla. If we can achieve this, remittances would multiply to reach hundreds of billions of dollars. Those choosing to stay in BD can support heavy engineering industries. Local and and foreign invest in high tech manufacturing would flood in if you can supply an abundance of quality tradesmen. We would not have to rely on "slave wage" garments manufacturing and low skilled menial work in the Middle East anymore.


English is already a second language in Bangladesh, good English education is only for those in rich positions this includes both India and Pakistan.

Bangladesh gov, needs to establish English medium vocational training centres for those who already have experience in the field. As qualifications mean Jack with out experience.

Yup, experienced tradesmen re-qualifying would be fantastic. Once through, they would get snapped up by heavy industries or foreign employers in no time.
As for apprentices, no quality trade school would qualify you without hands on industry experience under supervision.

Another trade/profession school should be Web programming and software coding. As you don't have to be a PhD student anymore to be a coder. It's hard for some for others it's not.


Just a grip on listening and understanding concepts, should be a requirement. Most of the work force can stay in Bangladesh and get paid in foreign currency dollars and pounds.


That money earned is purely spent and saved in Bangladesh.

These foreign man skilled export, Bangladesh loses out in the long term. This skilled man power export should be a short to mid term goal. If its long term then sadly to say Bangladesh will never develop.

It needs skilled man power to develop its industries.

Good thinking. I agree, coders should not have to go through university.

Unfortunately, it would be impossible to create enough good paying jobs for such a huge population within the given landmass no matter how much we industrialise. We have to keep churning out surplus skilled workers through trade schools and universities, enough to supply to local industries AND send overseas.
This is the only way we can ever become a high income country.

Jinnah is the one who tried to enforce Urdu on Bengalis which set off the disgruntlement within them, also Bengali Muslim League leaders never wanted to be with Pakistan to begin with but Jinnah insisted otherwise. So of course they have a negative view on him

No lame excuse for the spelling mistake of a proper noun. People should know the names of famous people. It is a disrespect if someone's name is misspelled.

I agree

But this is quite normal.
forexample: Greek Alexandros became English Alexander and Subcontinent Sikander
English word Chair became Sear in BD.

Certain pronounciation are altered to fit local language patterns

Mr banana sh** head, in bengal the admin and court languages were Persian during the mugual age the educated Muslims class leaning these languages to get jobs in govt. Bangla was spoken in casually on a daily basis at home and may be on the streets.

Then British came along and made english the administration language. Making large swathes of Muslim bengalis unemployed.

During the time of British the education budget for around 300 million people in the whole of South Asia was equal to small state in America, near New York.


Hindus happily embraced English, as it meant the down fall of Muslim prominence and Muslim for certain reasons resented English rule.

So lack of education, 31 major famines some of the worst being in bengal and constant malnourishment for 200 yrs.

During pre- independence bengali language received a boost of revival by notary works. It regained popularity in bengal.

During the creation of Pakistan changing the official language to urdu or English would have further alienated east bengals educated class. Making their mode of communication useless. During a time were resources constrained and east bengal was heavily economically exploited and majorly under funded by Central pak gov.

You have no idea of the reality or constraints. The complete garbage that comes out of you is annoying.


Thank you for putting things into perspective, this banana guy is a troll

he's banned now
o ekhon Daily ekta kore Kola khabe


I suspect this isn't his first account and won't be his last..

Nevertheless, atleast a week of peace and calm awaits us

Only the poorly educated pronounce jama as "zama". Never heard anyone pronounce Jinnah as "Zinnah".


Only noakhaillas do this imo.. I'm certain I've heard them replace Js with Zs

Jinnah together with Congress dogs killed the idea of United Bengal.. and made sure the British paid no attention to it.



In the end the northern overlords always did look down on Bengalis and the Bengali state as their "property".. and people ask why 71 happened.

Why it was wrong and he uttered it in English. Because he did not know how to speak Urdu. He wanted so to keep the country united with one religion and one language. Pakistan consisted of six provinces including Azad Kashmir.

Urdu was/ is not the language of any Province of today's Pakistan. Urdu, like Persian, was the lingua franca for the Muslim population for many centuries. Even educated Hindus used these two language.

However, the situation changed during the British rule. Bengali Muslims forgot these languages. This was the main problem.
How come some Bengalis I meet can speak Urdu and Punjabi? You guys fought for Bengali, so it's a little odd you'd speak the language of the oppressor

No, because Bengali is quite similar to Hindi and Bangladeshis who go abroad spend alot of time with Indians and Pakistanis, so it's not all that hard to learn it.



It just shows that Bengalis are quick learners.. or we'd see Indians and Pakistanis speak bits of Bangla, not the other way around.



That said most Indians love atleast three or four lines of Bangla.




And no, we don't understand Punjabi at all.
