Stop kidding yourself. Bengali is not spoken by the majority in any NE state except Tripura and it is not a lingua franca. None of the NE states except the bordering districts in Assam and Tripura share any cultural similarities with you guys in BD. As for Assamese being similar to Bengali, well it's similar because both the languages have common origin. Even Oriya is also quite similar for the same reason. Does it mean anything? NO. And Sylheti is quite different from the standard Assamese, it's only similar to a western dialect of Assamese Kamrupi. Kamrupi is as much different from standard Assamese as Sylheti is from standard Bengali. And don't lie, if you have just "heard" Assamese you won't understand it 100%. I have Bengali friends from Assam as well as from WB all my life, I know better.

Ok, my bad, you are from the area, you would know better. My impression was just from a youtube video I heard for few minutes and I could understand what they said. But if you say the situation is different, then it must be so, you are the expert as you are from there.

The other thing I saw is that the script is same as Bangla script, not sure if this is the same for all NE states, which adds another layer of mutual intelligibility, from written words, even if spoken dialect/language is different.

Assamese and Tripura has 35 million out of 39 million total population in NE states, so at least Bangla script is familiar to them even if the language itself may be slightly different and not their own mother tongue for the majority of the people there.

Is there any plan to change the script to Hindi devnagari, or the script will remain the same?

Would you change your script to Arabic?

Edit: Seriously, when I think about this, do you even realize how effing stupid you sound in that question?

I think current Bangladeshi govt has handed so many militants from ULFA and other terrorist organisations to India. So we should not openly blame them atleast on this front.

Indian govt can work behind the doors to bring the terrorist to book.

May be few small groups or individuals in Bangladesh helping the terrorists of India but definitely not the Govt of Bangladesh.

So there is not going to be any change, that is good. We have no plan to change to Arabic script either, I think people want to keep their tradition (Historical Continuity is always good).

Assamese/Bangla script is understood by at least 300 million people, which is West Bengal, Bangladesh and North East states.

The reason I ask that question is because there is people in India that want to re-introduce Sanskrit, make it popular and use Devnagari as the written script:

Now I am a little curious about the food in these places, lets say Agartala or Gowhati:

- I am sure there is Bengali style food, but the tribal or Assamese food, do they have curry spices like corrainder, cumin and turmeric?
- Is the cooking oil locally made in North East states or it comes from "mainland" India
- Are North East states open for tourists from all countries, or we have to get special permission, specially for US citizen?
- Is it safe?

India blames every homegrown problem of its on its neighbors rather than itself instead of doing some self introspection..............

It's not India , Whole world Speak about you and Islam , You are getting worse day by day.

Same is done by our neighbors too. Why don't you ask your sasural to do self-introspection ?

According to them, entire world except China is against them.

One poster today asked is ISS used for spying on Pakistan ? So better take care of that than asking Indians to do self-introspection. We already do that, no need of reminding.

Why do you think so.

Why do you think so.

I explained in above post.

Bangladeshi culture is the offset of Indian culture.

Our constitution recognized scripts for all official languages when India was declared a republic. Sanskrit is already recognized to be written in Devanagari Script.

Tribal people eat less spicy food. They love rice wine. Don't know where they get cooking oil from, main crop from North East is Tea.
