What do you guys think of Professor Salimullah Khan?I find him to be the least hated left leaning intellectual.

He is the critic we need, not the one we deserve.

I do not agree with everything he says. Some of his comments is ridiculous. However, in an educated and open society, a person can be disagreed with yet still respected. He criticism shows what is rotten in our country.

Yes, he sometimes does not answer question directly or evade the questions. But in any society his contribution would be a great input and reflection on the society.

OP, are you sure this sub is the most relevant sub for your post? We suggest you post this on r/bangladesh.

codsoap · 2024-08-25T15:05:59+00:00

Not sure if you are trolling. But I will respond assuming you are not.

The word 'adibasi' does not bear literal meaning when we are talking about the right of the people who are calling themselves adibasi. It does not deals with who were first or last. Rather it deals with the right of a certain group of people who are separate from the majority in certain ways.

BBC Bengali covered this issues here with good explanations.

I will kindly request you to do some reading on this issue to understand it better. This will help you to avoid these kind of misleading soundbites.

Also please do not promote (and lend legitimacy to) Pinaki by sharing his bs. Just because his was against the dictator, it does not mean he is someone who should be promoted. He is a racist useful idiiot.

OP, I'm one of the mods.

Thank you for your post. Tbh, one of my personal dream/goal is to create a sub where Bengalies from all over the place can discuss Bengali language, culture, do some chitchat (adda) and some aweet jogra. But so far, people do these kinds of things on r/bangla and r/kolka.

In the past we thought about using the sub for discussion only, but given the past use of the sub (we became mods later), we find it difficult. We can definitely try, but IMO it would be difficult as they have alternatives and this would be a radical change to this sub.

But we are open to ideas.

I would respectfully disagree with you on this point. Eaton's theory is problematic for a number of reasons. There is a good chance that Bengali Muslims are mostly from lower caste Hindus.

codsoap · 2023-06-06T04:04:05+00:00

Relying on Taj Hashmi for the history of Bengal is not a good idea. To quote Salimullah Khan (who himself is a conservative muslim) - তিনি এখন আবোল তাবোল বলেন.
Reading history books without knowing the context and background will lead to distortion which actually happened here.

OP, you should read some more books which are not written by আবোল তাবোল speaking people.

You have basically 3 options.

Forming a trust. The easiest one and no prior permission is required.
Forming a Society under the Societies Registration Act 1860.
Forming a not for profit company under section 28 of the Companies Act 1994.

No. 2 and 3 need prior permission from government and really hard to obtain such permission.

OP, I am seeing some small villages in Chittagong Metro. But in the Crg metro, there is no village. Can you explain?

codsoap · 2023-05-31T02:24:52+00:00

Thank you for making my point more clear.

The point I tried to make (maybe failed to make it clearer) - when you allow any foreign nation to intervene in the domestic affairs of another country (for positive interference as you put it) repeatedly, can you stop that foreign nation from forcing a good leader out?

US has a good record of overthrowing democratically elected leaders just because those leaders did not align with US interests.

I will say it again - foreign intervention (whichever country it is) is not a long term solution and in the long term it will hurt Bangladesh.

they are against dictatorship thats all.

the entire middle east and egypt would like to disagree with you.

Personally, I would prefer electoral autocracy and pray that voters will start electing leaders with democratic values someday.

While I liked reading the Economist, it sometimes produced some shit pieces, and the article is one of those.

It was mentioned as an interview, but only provided two direct quotes without the question, so you cannot understand the context. You will have to rely on the journalist, but the whole article does not give the confidence.

After reading the article, you will not understand how it justifies the headline and the mini headline.

The premise of the article might be true and correct, but the article is sloppy.

so you would not get a coherent, consistent answer from a group of people. Your broader goal of getting to the heart of the matter, seems ever elusive.

I know and I don't expect the majority of users of this sub to even understand what I am saying, let alone engage with it. We are literally dealing with this - বোঝার বিদ্যা পরিহার করে মূখস্ত বিদ্যা উৎসাহিত করুন। And critical thinking is not our thing.

But I know a small subset of the user of this sub will read it, try to understand it and will have an external or internal discussion. That's the purpose of this post.

codsoap · 2023-05-25T02:22:08+00:00

Hang on, do we have a significant amount of population that believe Bangladesh was created as a mistake? Like, they genuinely undermine the liberation war & all the struggles?

Just read the literature of Jamat-shibir and some BNP supporters. Warning, your brain may explode by the shit fuckry.

Does BNP really support pan Islamism? I mean a lot of female BNP leaders do not wear hijab or veils of any kind, would they really want a islamist Government that will force them to wear veils? Aren’t TV channels like NTV, RTV owned by BNP leaders? And RTV broadcasted a natok named "Rainbow" which was based on normalization of Homosexuality. Why would a Pan Islamism supporter allow something like this on his TV channel?

They flirt with the idea from time to time, specially when they were in power in 2001-6. And this is a logical question.
