You should trace back your roots to BD indeed. Here is some trivia for you to munch on.

Tracing back the history of Bengali New Year, the year was first initiated by the great Mughal emperor, Akbar. Under the Mughals, agricultural taxes were collected according to the Hijri calendar. But the Hijri calendar is a purely lunar calendar and it does not coincide with the harvest season. As a result, farmers were hard-pressed to pay taxes out of season. In order to streamline tax collection, the Mughal Emperor Akbar ordered a reform of the calendar. Accordingly, Fatehullah Shirazi, a renowned scholar and astronomer, formulated the Bengali year on the basis of the Hijri lunar and Hindu solar calendars. The new agricultural year was introduced on 10/11 March 1584, but was dated from Akbar's ascension to the throne in 1556. The New Year subsequently became known as Bônggabdo or Bengali year.

Akbar ordered a reform of the calendar. Accordingly, Fatehullah Shirazi, a renUnder the Mughals, agricultural taxes were collected according to the Hijri calendar. However, as the Hijri calendar is a purely lunar calendar, it does not coincide with the harvest. As a result, farmers were hard-pressed to pay taxes out of season. In order to streamline tax collection, the Mughal Empowned scholar and astronomer, formulated the Bengali year on the basis of the Hijri lunar and Hindu solar calendars. The new Fasli San (agricultural year) was introduced on 10/11 March 1584, but was dated from Akbar's ascension to the throne in 1556. The new year subsequently became known as Bônggabdo or Bengali year.

Celebrations of Pohela Boishakh started from Akbar's reign. It was customary to clear up all dues on the last day of Choitro. On the next day, or the first day of the new year, landlords would entertain their tenants with sweets. On this occasion there used to be fairs and other festivities. In due course the occasion became part of domestic and social life, and turned into a day of merriment. The main event of the day was to open a halkhata or new book of accounts. Bangla Saal today saw the light of day through an ordinance promulgated by Akbar the Great, the renowned grandson of Zahiruddin Muhammad Babar whose mother and father were descendants of Gengis Khan and Tamerlane respectively. It was to immortalise a momentous occasion, a crucial juncture of history that the great Moghul introduced this new system of calendar 415 years ago. The calendar so introduced was originally known as Tarikh-e-Elahi and it was introduced on the 10th or the 11th March in the 29th year of Akbar's reign i.e. in 1585 A. D. It , however, dates from the day of Akbar's ascension to the throne of Delhi and commemorates his coronation as the Emperor of India in 1556.

Razakars and Bihari Bangladeshi may have no clue and therefore it is not surprising.

Go and comb your hair, even if you have not understood why it is done.

I am sure you are the type who likes to remain scruffy and untidy.

Do you have a bath or do you not understand why that is done also?

So, could we take it that you are an unwashed, scruffy and untidy thing walking on two legs?

You are so tiresome and like a damaged vinyl record that you sound like a monotonous whine.

If you think Bangladesh is not the country for you, then begone.

What do you mean half Hindu?

Do you celebrate Shab e Barat?

Are you ancestors grave marked?

The Wahabis would not even take you to be a Muslim!!

There is a huge difference being around a picture of a monkey to being a Simian.

The choice is yours as to what you are.
