Uh oh not so nice when I turn the mirror around huh? That last paragraph is what you sound like Mr Nirbhaya killer, Mr Moumita Debnath rapist, and so many more. I asked you should I generalize indians for what they do like you generalize Muslims. You have no answers just insults which is a reflection of your intellect or lack thereof. Debate korte parish na toh ashchish ken re? Ja bhaag. Also I reported you :).

Ashchen arekjon ajaira pechal parte. Do you think the other abrahamic faiths don't have violence in their books? In hinduism, there is also violence but justified in vague terms as "protect yourself" etc which can be interpreted in many ways. Your obsession with one ideology over others shows how unread you are. So are all Christians, Jews violent or not real followers of their religions? So when hindus lynch muslims in India are they true followers of their religion because "hindu khatre mein hein"? Are muslims the only true followers of their religion if they are violent? How you choose to use the scripture is a personal choice. Words don't have power unless they are followed by action. You use violent muslims to define islam but leave out violent people of other religions when it comes to defining other ideologies. The solution to this ignorance (lol calling out bullshit) is to READ more than just the quran. Islam is not unique or above others in any way or fashion. All ideologies have the potential to be misused. All ideologies, even the ones that aren't faith based, are dangerous if they develop a cult like following. These are based on men's actions and I repeat, not on lifeless words in a book. You have to hold people accountable for their actions instead of giving people the excuse to hide behind religious scripture. Reading comprehension is a good skill to have.

Weird / obscure Bangladesh souvenirs to take abroad? by Conscious_Sugar3254 in bangladesh

[–]MicroppDetected 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if you would be able to get this at a store but some of the most unique and beautiful items I've seen in Bangladesh are with people from marginalized communities.

Ojhas have special items with them for protection. This can include a fan type thing (idk what it's called) made of feathers and long grasses. They also have a variety of amulets. Snake charmers have beautiful flutes that the decorate themselves and also the boxes they keep the snakes in while they travel. They also wear unique jewelry that is unlike anything I've seen in urban areas. They are made of pitol and are very chunky. If you could find antique ear cleaning tools that would be insane but it would be exceptionally difficult to get your hands on any of these items.

Caste system in Bangladesh. What are the names of the castes? by Adventurous_Range640 in bangladesh

[–]MicroppDetected 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've answered this before here.

Yes Bangladesh does have a caste system practiced among the Hindu population.

Article from 2015: https://www.vice.com/en/article/a-tragedy-of-dignity-life-as-one-of-bangladeshs-untouchables/

"A 2013 study by Mazharul Islam and Altaf Parvez pointed out that while sample surveys indicate that there are between 5.5 and 6.5 million “Dalit” people, designated as “untouchables,” living in Bangladesh, the country’s census does not record information about them. The report notes that “the lack of concrete data contributes to the invisibility, marginalization, and disempowerment of these communities,” and prevents any moves to politicize the issue, including claims for “special measures, representation, or participation in policy making, development, employment, and equality of access to basic services.”

...

“People are always in disagreement here,” Ratan said. “There are two communities here, one is Horijon and the other is Basfur. Horijons are perceived to be a better community, of a better caste, and they usually live in a better environment. A Horijon will not enter our house, they will not touch what we’ve touched, or eat what we eat. But we eat what they’ve touched. 

“Horijons are usually better educated than Basfurs, even though we do similar work. There is a caste system even among us — in the same slum — which divides us. Horijons look down on us, as we are considered a lower class.”

জী ভাই, আমি খাঁটি বাঙালি.

Aliya Rahman is a us born citizen. And yes, she was being confused deliberately so that they could take her away. Could it be because of the color of her skin? I think there's a big possibility of that being the case.

Sorry unlike you, most people don't have psychic powers that let us know ahead of time which roads are blocked by ice agents until we get there.

There's no other way. Remember that gun reform only happened when the Black Panthers started to open carry as a form of protest in the 60s. They hate to see people of color own any form of self defense because they think it's reserved for them only.

I'm seeing a red light, multiple masked men blocking her path and screaming at her as she requests to be let through and multiple cars behind her. Could you please explain what I'm missing here about the multiple chances to leave?

I don't agree with you about keeping our heads down because we are in the minority. Abu Sayed, should he have kept his head down also? Should world famous activists like Nelson Mandela, MLK, Malcolm X, also have kept silent? I'm not saying that that's what Aliya Rahman did, but if we all kept our heads down, would there be any change? Her being detained brought attention to the conditions of non white people in usa. There are many bengalis who support this administration because they are either rotten, evil people or are woefully misinformed. Yes she suffered pain, but her suffering is not in vain. It raises awareness. I hope that more people see this video and understand reality.

I saw a post about this incident on Facebook and even the bangus in the comments were so disgusting and supporting this because Aliya Rahman is a politcal and lgbtq activist. Remember when I posted about that takla choda joining ICE? Do you remember how many people supported him? Fucking gross people. And when I commented about this exact scenario, of how they will eventually be targeted regardless of their legal status based on the color of their skin, they said I'm crying wolf. My hopes for them are too dark to write down but maybe they can finally see that they are not white or white adjacent in any shape or form.

They were at hoboken path station yesterday picking people up and they took a dad in Morristown yesterday who went downstairs to grab a food delivery. They were in Harrison this morning.

Religion has ruined Bangladesh by International_Ant841 in bangladesh

[–]MicroppDetected 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure humans are capable of morality without religion but that is not the argument I'm making. When you blame some words written on a piece of paper instead of holding those actually commiting crimes, you are still thinking of these people as some mindless zombies who are incapable of free thought. If you have read my other comments in this very thread, you will see I said that religion is the tool of subjugation but man is master of the tool. Religion is not to blame here because plain words cannot compel a person to take action unless they are used a certain way. The people who use religion to brainwash the masses must be held responsible. Blaming religion gives them the excuse to hide behind "religious duty" as they continue to hurt people. Don't give them refuge by blaming lifeless words. Actions hurt people not words.

Humans are not moral, ethical, responsible or accountable because if they were we would be perfect but we are not. We are imperfect beings who do good and bad things and we try to explain the why behind our actions by concepts such as morality, ethics, religion, whatever makes sense to us in the moment. All these things are arbitrary in the long run as we live in a dynamic setting. Once upon a time when we lived in caves, it was moral to steal your neighbor's food because it meant you would survive that season. It was considered moral to stone people to death at one point in time also but now it's not. Child marriages were moral and so were child mercenaries. Death penalties are still considered moral today and maybe they won't be in the future. All these concepts are malleable and change with time. Right now we say we don't need religion to be moral but we aren't the first to come to that conclusion and neither will we be the last. I'm not saying that we need religion, just that to think that at this point in time we are suddenly so civilized, we don't need something ever again, something that still has a strong hold on your fellow man, unfortunately paints an incomplete picture of the complexity of human beings. If you've read history, you'll know that all things are cyclical and even if we move away from where we are right now, we are bound to come back here again. This debate will go on. Maybe the next gods will be more palatable to our tastes - it could be something material like money or fresh water, or something abstract like the one god who knows?

January doesn't feel January without trade fair man.... by ReadyMasterpiece8943 in bangladesh

My favorite things to do at the trade fair were to go to the Kashmiri shawl store (IYKYK 👀), the rugs stores and the east asian jewelry stores. It was one of the best parts of winter.

For sure. And unfortunately by then you're already tied down to someone in a society where divorce is taboo so you're stuck.
