Give us a break.
Let's leave religion out of the discussion. Pilgrims can say what they want and congregate where they want.
Another break if you don't mind.
Next you will tell us that Esperanto is a popular language with a fabulous literature.
lol, the point about all this is that having one Nobel Prize winner for literature (who was a west bengali Hindu anyway), does not in anyway give Bengali literature a fabulous history. It is quite a weak history in fact compared to other historical literatures, but they believed in the superiority of their literature and language. This was their incorrect pride coming through.
We have no superiority complex. It is just that in literature and culture we were much advanced, be we, Bengalis, Hindus, Moslem or Christians!
lol. it is a superiority complex in fact. Bengali culture is not particularly advanced, and never has been. Give some examples of your "advanced Bengali culture". I'd like to know, since I havent heard of any cultural achievements of Bengalis. I could give many from regions of Pakistan if you liked.
It appears you know very little about life and hence a trifle myopic. An Indian won the Nobel for Physics before any Pakistani won it. That way, count the number of Indians who have won the Nobel compared to Pakistanis.
Does it really matter? Alright, let's compare Bengal with Punjab (Abdus Salam was a Punjabi, after all). Should Punjabis feel they are superior physicists, because they've had a Nobel Prize Winner? And so on.
And anyway, I believe the Pakistani is an Ahmediya and thus not reckonable.
lol, now you're bringing religion into it!
Your knowledge is limited. An India won the Physics Nobel before a Pakistani. Guess who that was?
Do you feel a bit inferior at having a Pakistani win the Nobel Physics Prize, and now you need to prove that an Indian has won it?
Take another guess! The Bengalis and the Mohajirs were the ones who were educated and intelligent.
The Bengalis weren't educated my fascist friend. Education was around 11% in Bengal at Partition, in Pakistan it was 7%. Both East and West Pakistan were more or less equally uneducated. The Muhajirs that moved to Pakistan generally had more money though. This had nothing to do with intelligence though
I think this issue has been clarified by Bhangra.
And anyway, you never really assimilated East Pakistan into the Pakistan biradari. So, how come you expect them to accept Urdu?
Not sure what you mean here. Can you explain it?
Good reply
Another factual reply.
You should have realised that your superiority complex was alienating people who so willingly and happily joined the new country called Pakistan.
Why were they alienated. I haven't seen many way in which they were alienated, except for the propaganda issued by the Bengali elites. Give some examples, so they can be discussed instead of one sentence nonsense replies.
Great reply.
At the expense of slowing down EP? Hardly a thing that would warm the coc-kles of the EP heart.
So what should happen? Pakistan should have kept growing the industries in East Pakistan, so that West Pakistani people were always more deprived than East Pakistanis? That really would be parity for you. Why should East Pakistan have been more developed than West Pakistan?
What isBharati' Mohajirs?
They are still not a part of Pakistan? Is that what you are implying? Are they that superior that they are threatening your existence and so you dislike them as is evident by your categorising them as "Bharati". They left India to go to Pakistan all starry eyed that there was going to be a Moslem motherland. And you talk of them with such contempt? And you then want to blame Bengalis for separating? If this was the attitude in India, I would also separate. Fortunately it is not so.
The fact the Mohajirs were in the helm of administration, law etc proves they are way above the others!
Salim, you're such a fascist and you don't even realize it !
I never mentioned anything about Muhajirs not being Pakistani though. A "Bharati Muhajir" is a Muhajir that comes from Bharat during Partition..at least that's my definition. No need to put words into mouths!
Ask yourself why they get blamed. You are not hesitating to insult Mohajirs, so imagine what was the plight of the Bengalis a 1000 miles away!
Well I don't mind Muhajirs. And if 1971 were to be wiped away from existence, I guess I wouldn't see the Bengalis are traitors, to-faced, self pitying, docile etc..
Pot calling the kettle......
Good reply again.
Dacca University was one of the prime location for education! The Bengalis were not illiterate at all. Ill educated are those with biases like you.
Bengalis had 11% literacy at Partition. They were ill-educated, just like the West Pakistani population.
If West Pakistan had no industry, don't blame it on East Pakistan Bengalis. You did not have the vision. And you talk of being educated! You were not even educated to understand how economy should be built, if indeed WP had no industry!
So what would you have suggested? That East Pakistan be the "land of opportunity" while the West Pakistanis starve without any industries being built? Would that be fair for you?
The Pakistanis who you are calling traitors don't think so.
They're not Pakistanis for the most part, as far as I know. They're coming from other countries. But those that do would be traitors. A traitor is defined as "a person who says one thing and does another" or "person who betrays his country by committing treason". I think that taking up arms to split the country in two is pretty much treason !
They sided with themselves.
So they didn't side with India is what you're saying?
It shows that you have no idea of history.
When was East Pakistan ever attacked?
Read that article by a Pakistan Army officer I appended in one of the post about what happened in the wars with India?
In which case the federal government must have been pretty intelligent to realize that the Indians were too stupid to not attack East Pakistan, when there was no defence there! Take this with a lot of sarcasm, and you might see the point
