Like I said before Bangladesh is secular
Nazrul's wife is not the problem here
Jinnah also had a parsee wife
The FACT remains Nazrul died a Bangladeshi citizen
Most of his family lives in Bangladesh
He is the national poet of Bangladesh
Hence his songs should be the national anthem
What relation did Tagore have with Bangladesh?
Apart from the language we have nothing in common
Tagore never saw Bangladesh. He contributed to Bengali literature not to Bangladesh.
Tagore died as a Indian Zamidar serving the British empire
I'm not contesting your not an Indian
But your claim to have proud Bangladeshi roots when you won't even display one BD flag
Is hypocrisy to me
Nazrul is a Indian Bengali, he was born in West Bengal, he lived all his life in Calcutta, his children and wife also lived there. He moved to BD after liberation because BD govt requested him so and Indian Govt insisted, he still was a citizen of Republic of India with an honorary citizenship from BD govt.
I don't care though what you choose as your national anthem, just stating the fact.
