The point is simply that before anyone can think about 'countering' anything, they have to have a sense of identity. Its ridiculous how certain members claim to have foreign ancestry based on religion. Religion has absolutely NOTHING to do with your genes.
There are plenty of Bangladeshis in New Jersey and guess what? They still look like they're Bangladeshis. All this garbage about 'working in the sun' or 'humidity' reeks of an inferiority complex.
Their worldview warped beyond comprehension, if I'm half christian and the English introduced Christianity to the sub continent, does that mean I'm white? and if not why? and how is this different from how Islam spread to the sub continent.
I just found the picture of the sardarji's funny
And lo and behold the conversation drifted onto complexion, north and south and this other nonsense mostly because of some serious underlying insecurities.
You Hindu bigots will never perhaps understand what a mixed blooded person may mean. Because of your JAT PAT you are not allowed to intermingle among each other. But, Islam teaches us not to behave and shape our society like a bigot society. We have no distinction between a black Muslim and a fair-skinned Muslim.
So, inter-racial marriage were and are prevalent in the Bengali Muslim society. Why are you talking pride when someone says his ancestory was Persian or Arabian. I believe that person is at least 50% wrong, because there is no way all his 40 ancestors married into a Persian family who settled in Bengal. The mixing started from the 2nd or 3rd genaration after the first batch of Turkic Afghan Muslims arrived in Bengal in 1203 and some local Hindus/Budhists accepted Islam.
It is a historical fact, you have to read the general history of Bengal before you throw muds at us. Muslims of Bengal are SPEAKERS of Bangla and they live in Bengal. So, they are certainly Bengali. But, genetically speaking, they have quite a different blood than the local Hindu Bangali. We are mixed, but Hindus are not. It is a big distinction.
All the Muslim Chieftains (we call them Bara Bhuiyan), who resisted Mughals in Bengal, were Pathans whose fore bearers fled to Bengal after they were defeated by Badshah Baber in the 1st Battle of Panipath in 1526. Also note that Sher Shah Suri of BENGAL (note that he was a Pathan of Bengal) retook Delhi in 1539. His descendents were defeated again in the 2nd Battle of Panipath in 1554 by Humayun, and they again fled to Bengal.
So, the war between Mughal and Pathans started in 1526 in Panipath in the present day Hariyana, but finally ended in 1606 in Uhar of greater Mymensingh or Sylhet of the present day Bangladesh.
There are many such events that infused foreign blood among Muslim Bangali. There are always different looking Bangali Muslims. Why do you throw muds when most of the Indian Hindus are very black and look also like monkeys. Yet you say you belong to Aryas. It must be a joke. You will perhaps throw the same mud, as you have done to Bangali Muslims here, at President Obama if he says his mother is a white Amrican. You are such a miserable stupid.
The way you are spitting your words it seems your parents and siblings look like angels and have been sent from a white moon. Better send your own photograph and I will send photographs of other monkey-looking ugly Hindus. Do not say these stupid things to the Bangalis in New York, they may slap your DALIT face. What is your problem if we truthfully deny the existence of only one strain of blood in our veins?
Without first studying the general history of Muslim Bengal, please do not venture into the subject of immigration of foreign Muslims in Bengal. If you need I can recommend some very old Persian-written books as well as books written by many famous Hindu writers starting from Rakhal Das Bannerjy, who discovered Moenjodaro.
About the sense of identity, we people live in Bangladesh and our identity is with this country. This is final and foremost. Who denies that must be living in an unreal fantasy world, where things are fuzzy. However, history must be acknowledged in its proper perspective. It is not necessary to deny historical facts in order to become a REAL BANGALI. We cannot deny our fore bearers.
By the way, Persians are quite fair-skinned, but not all the Arabs, specially the Gulf people, are fair-skinned. We also have negro blood among us. These people came from Ethiopia. How can we deny our fore bearers just because you bully us for that? This is our heritage, we have to accept it as it is and not in a twisted form prescribed by the bigots.
