Should we make a Petition to change the Devanagari script of Bangla!?

[Joe Shearer]

I'm a Muslim. This is my only identity.

Be happy with yours pal. I'm not interested with you, your country or your culture. I simply don't care.

I'm who I am. I like what I am and I will express my feeling until last breath. None should concern you or yours.

Good for you.

So long as you say, out of your own mouth, you are a Muslim and that is your only identity. That relieves you of any obligation to interfere in other things. Like script for Bengali. Your languages are Arabic, Urdu, Persian. Stick to them and have fun. Don't interfere with my language and my culture.

Is your family originally from East Bengal?

Dhaka and Borishal.

The script of a language should not be changed just because it hurts your feelings looking at it.

Uh, this is the thread where I was making elaborate plans with patriotic jamatis to replace Bengali from Bangladesh with something more Islamic.

Dhaka and Borishal.

Amar babar family originally Itna theke, pore Borishale settle korechilo, Mayer family Khulna theke...ekhon ar kichui nei..!

Brother, It doesn't matter what you call it. Fact of the matter is that it's not ours. I mean it was not devoloped by musalman. It's a brain child of Hindu and British to replaced Farsi after the fall of Nawab Siraj ud dowlah. Do some research and you will find your answer. Every non Bangladeshi Muslim I know call it Indian or Hindu. We are preserving a script that was not meant for us. If you ask me it doesn't feel good when I look at this script. I just don't like it.

Farsi is a Shia language, BD is Sunni. Urdu is basically a Hindu language, I suggest Arabic, that's the ultimate Islamic language right from the birthplace of prophet pbuh.

Any language spoken by a muslim is a muslim language... particularly so if the majority of of those who speaks the language are muslims.

A Pakistani guy living in Saudi Arabia named Freedom Democracy....this is not Ironic...this is a fuckin Iron ore!

Eid mubarak bhai.

That's a twisted argument..Bengali is a local language, Islam spread to Bengali speaking regions later, but it originated from the prophet's pbuh birthplace..Quran was originally written in Arabic and later translated into Bengali..Kabah is covered with Arabic scriptures, not Bengali. You may adopt a local language for convenience, but it is not Islamic. Most of the Bengali literature is unislamic, as pointed out by the Bangladeshis. There are things that are Islamic, and there are things that are not. For example, Muslims break the fast with a date, preferably imported from Arabia, not local mangoes.

Good for you.

Sometimes fighting an idea makes it stronger, I am fully supporting them...please bear with me.

I hope they will find the right path instead of I trying to push them..

Languages existed before Islam which appropriated them as it came into being. Arabic is the language of the prophet because it was the local language. it has a special place as far as muslims are concerned, however language is merely a means of communication it has no intrinsic religious flavour, we read the Koran primarily in arabic so that we maintain the essence of the original message of God in the original language it was delivered. Arabic as a language is not better or worse than any other.

Most bengali literature is unislamic.... what does that even mean? What the hell is an unislamic literature. do you mean books written by non -muslims as compared to muslims then that is patently false. Majority of the people who speaks bangla are muslims, literary output are in line demographic reality.

If you read the Koran primarily in arabic so that you maintain the essence of the original message of God in the original language it was delivered, then why not use that language for all affairs of your daily life, what is the problem with that other than little inconvenience for a short period of time?

And about the unislamic literature, most of the Bengali literature talks about a culture that is predominently Hindu with all the Hindu religious practices and rituals..I am not saying this, that's what your own compatriots say..and they maybe right. Other aspects of Bengali culture, like song, dance, paintaing, sculptures etc. are surely unislamic.

It is not for a hindutva turdoid to dictate to us what language one should use but for your education there is no compulsion in islam vis-a-vis arabic. Islam is a message to mankind as a whole, it is not limited by nationalism, culture , race, gender, class or any other social construct. You won't but should you wish to expand you clearly deficient knowledge base go and read the last sermon of the Prophet (PBUH), it conveys everything that is islam.

Bangladeshis are numerous thus plurality of views. some may see song dance painting etc from a particularly puritanical viewpoint and deem it as unislamic, but these people are a minority. without passing judgement on such views which i do not share all i would reiterate is bangladeshi culture and bangla is as "Islamic" as any other that can be claimed to be islamic from persian to turkish, from berber to Swahili, from ughir to bhasha indonesia to malay.

you interjection as is always the case is simply to troll.

Hindutva turdoid sounds so western, I prefer malaun. And I am not dictating anything, just supporting some valid points raised by the Bangladeshis..and Islam doesn't permit you to have plurality of views regarding Hindutva song, dance, painting, sculptures, Hindutva literature, dress, food habit, or your lifestyle, you are either following specific rules or you are not..Arabic may not be mandatory, but it is more appropriate..

Besides, you are missing one important benefit of switching to Arabic..Bangladeshi culture is being corrupted by Hindutva films, serials, literature, songs and culture using the common languages, adoption of Arabic language as the only language of Bangladesh would solve this problem in just one or two generations..

Think logically.

The idea isn't dead, how can the thread be..?

 

[sidr]

I am cool with having Bangla as national language as its widely known.
I am just not cool with term Bengali.It's like calling American(USA) people English just because they made it standard.
I hate to be called Bengali,and hate even more these Bengali nationalist SOBs who's trying to import cultures from Kolkata.
They are forgetting what separated us from India and what caused all the bloodshed.

For script,I prefer English BTW.

You are extremely uncivil, and without cause. This is not a decent way to make your point, infirm and feeble as it might be.

Please don't confuse yourself and the rest of us for humanity's sake, you are cool with Bengali language, then you are not cool with the term Bengali, and you want English scripture for Bengali language...what is this, sonar pathorbati? And what will you do about your country's name..'Bangladesh', or your Bengali national anthem that screams "Sonar Bangla"?

I suggest you not to float around like a lost ship and anchor somewhere, Arabia would solve the problem and sort out all the mess...and save poor Bengali for those who want to be Bengali without any confusion or regret.
