Not your mama's forum old man , he can write whatever he wants. So its you who needs to f off. Don't you have a damn job in the US or are you one of those lazy idiots living off unemployment benefits. Actually i half bet you are, otherwise who has time to troll a defense forum the whole day. And learn English for god sake. It is SPOKESMAN. It is sort out DIFFERENCES and what the hell do you mean by Endorsements? Do you even know what that word means. Now i'm sure you are unemployed. No one in the right mind would give a job to a person with 0 proficiency in the English language , besides , you have a mentality of a terrorist. At least learn to use the spell-check feature on PDF, its not that hard. And you are telling him to get a life ? LOL , how ironical , you are so lame and conservative that i bet you've never even spoken to a real girl before and even if you did , bet you gave her a long speech on how to wear a Burkha properly. So you go get a life.

Hahaha that was some mean speech!

How did I manage to arouse your interest, good Sir?

So, why does it have to rebuild again? We are mostly Muslim population and I do not want to see a mandir in middle of the park. If you want to build a mandir then build it else where, why does it have to be in public place? La-Hasina and her perty now a days trying to shove hinduani on Bangladeshi Muslim, she going to pay dearly for this bigotry.

The Mandir and its surrounding land nearby belong to the Hindu community of the country. No unilateral decision is good. Hindu community should be requested to vacate the land and accept a better larger land to build their temple, where they can can perform their religious duties.

The land is already given to Hindu community. Few month ago I visited Ramna park and seems like they already taken half the park and built no less than 15 different Mandirs with different gods. I really enjoyed it there as they are all open Mandirs, means you can see the whole interior without really entering the Mandirs. They are wide open from frontal side. Attraction of the Park increased many fold thats for sure.

does bangladesh still claims West Bengal or not?

i never thought about west bengal or north india joining bd before entering this forum..... i don't like Ghoti people too much... We are better now being separated from each other......

[kobiraaz]

sir there are many bangladeshis and indians from west Bengal who think West Bengal belongs to bangladesh

it is a cute and lovely idea.... Land of bengal with the anthem of Amar shonar Bangla which was actually written to keep Banga united.... But it is not realistic for now..... We have seperated from pakistan, but now it would be their turn and i think they prefer to be in super power india:p :p anyway Bangal babus like Abir, goura(v)b, urban may shed some light here to clear your confusion..

Interesting. From the dress up, it seems they are the muslim migrant from west. Any thought?

1.The British should have left the independent kingdom of Bengal- Bihar-Orissa as they had received through Emperor Shah Alam's "farman". However, the boundaries were set by men none whom was a son of the soil. Our true leader Netaji Subash was perhaps in Soviet custody in a Nehru-British conspiracy.
2. As a cultural identity we, the Bengalees are the largest lot concentrated in one location - except for the Han Chinese.
3. The Muslim factor has emerged crucial ever since 1905-6. If you look at the demographic graph in the eastern SA, a situation is soon arising when it would be correct to say, "To Be Bengalee Is To BE A Muslim."

There was time when Bengalis were Hindu majority, there was time when they were Budhhist majority, now they are Muslim majority probably in future some other religion will gain momentum in this land, but the fact remains Bengalis have been and will be known as Bengali Hindu/Bengali Muslim/Bengali Buddhist; not Hindu Bengali, Muslim Bengali, Buddhist Bengali!

Religion simply doesn't excite Bengalis as much as other means of abstract thinking do.

Dear Asad ,

Please speak for yourself or for your nation Bangladesh
Don't try to be a spokesperson for Bengalis..

We are proud of our culture, our literates, our poets, our freedom fighters, our festivals, our food..

Bangladesh was created for religion. you are a Mulsim state and please be happy with that..

i feel that Al-Zakir is one of the most honest persons in this forum. He resists Bangali culture on his country.. He wants to learn Arabic/Urdu wants it to be a part of Bangladesh, He hates Bengali New Year..
Rest of you do not know where your identitiy lies.. You are confused between Bengali culutre and your religious identity..
Worst of all you sound hypocrites
Well, for whatever it is, please keep it inside Bangaldesh. Thank you
