varun Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Re: Bengali's supporting bangla's Language and culture is a great binding factor too ya know, despite differing religions. I've been to Kolkotta many times as my sis lives there, and I've noticed the amount of pride they have in their language. I'm a punjabi, and if you look at India/Pakistani Punjabis as well.. there are similar similar sentiments there. The fact is that these were all one people speaking one language and sharing the same culture. They have been separated based on a new religion spread through propaganda, etc, but underneath that a bengali from india is more similar to a bengali from bangladesh than say a punjabi from india, mainly because of the culture and language. Edit: I'd like to add another dimension to this that what I mentioned above will be more prevalent in the rural areas as those areas have a more parochial (and unadulterated) view of their culture and language.

CC1981 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Re: Bengali's supporting bangla's CC - do you support Banglastan in cricket now ? Just curious Not really. But i do think if Ashraful and Mashrafe were Indians, i'd have them in the team ahead of the Pathans, Agarkars, etc. Believe it or not, i am not that big a cricket fan by Indian standards- thats why you see me more in OT section than cricket section.

CC1981 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Re: Bengali's supporting bangla's Well said Varun- well said. Those who focus too much at religion and religion induced scenarios forget that its not the end-all, be-all in all walks of life. Culture, language, etc. are almost just as important. There is nothing wrong in how the Indian Bengalis-Bangladeshis or Indian Punjabis/Pak Punjabis as you say share a special relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC1981 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Re: Bengali's supporting bangla's supporting a team when your own is out is fine but doing it with a passion displayed here is murky....but havent we been thru this sort of ***** before? At the end of the day, this is just a bunch of guys whacking a ball with a stick, mate. You or I or anyone else- we have no right to question why/how people support which team(s) in sport and do not. It is such a petty thing to draw nationalism and national loyalties into a sport. I know Indians who support opposition team over India ( particularly true for some older gen. folks i know who are die-hard West Indies fan even over India despite being Indians) but some of them are more 'likely' to defend the motherland in times of need than some of the self-proclaimed 'desh-bhakts' you see here who jumped ship to foreign nations at first opportunity.

OK..... how come u left out nationality..... the first thing tht comes for me, and most in this forum is COUNTRY.... if someone harms my country, he is my enemy.... it could be my own family, forget religion...

CC1981 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Re: Bengali's supporting bangla's how come u left out nationality..... Because it is not the number 1 thing for most people - atleast, people who put nationalism over anything else are almost insignificant in numbers compared to people who put language/culture/race/religion first. Personally, i am not a nationalist- infact, i am anti-nationalist slightly. My like/loyalty/admiration for India is not based on the arbitary lines on the map today that represents India- but over 5000 years of culture, history and philosophy stemming from the subcontinent. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but i find the notion of nationality to be rather petty. Suddenly I am going to fight you because some map shows a line between your purple colored nation and my brown colored nation ? I don't think so....

You really think i am in the minority ? I know zillions of desis my age from highschool days and university days- most of whom are back in India - and most of them are not patriotic except for the token patriotism of respecting the national song or something. Nationalists in almost every country i've been to are fringe minority but very vocal. At the end of the day, you gotto realize that most people want to just have a good job, good sex/relationship life, kids, friends, family, etc. Not go marching down the street with banners. And slave ? white master ? its got nothing to do with nationalism... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
