PBN Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Goddesses are quite popular in Punjab and surrounding areas of Himachal and probably Haryana as well. Durgiana temple in Amritsar, jagraatas, maa sherawali,etc quite popular in Punjab and Punjabi lingo, bhajans. The phrase 'jai mata di' is punjabi as well.

Stradlater Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 9 minutes ago, Muloghonto said: Mate, you do realize that Durga Puja in Bengal + Bengali community > Durga puja in rest of India combined, for the amount of money, # of idols, etc etc ? Durga Puja is *THE* puja of Bongs,Orya and Assamiya. Just like you guys go ape-$hit over janmastami and in our part of India it is a token celebration, so too is durga puja/navratri outside of eastern India. There is no direct clash between devi-ma versus the purushottama angles of Hinduism, which is why it works. But it is categorically IGNORANT to say that devi-maa following outside of eastern India is significantly large ( except for tokenism), just like how Shaivism is a tokenism in the east. This is also not 'Bongs vs rest of India' question,since its also the Assamese and the Oryas who are equally entrenched in the Devi maa culture. Heck, Assamiyas have a temple that'd make the ultra-feminists cream their panties ( Kamakhya), where the period is celebrated with great aplomb. Janmashtmi has no relevance in my culture. Navratri is the biggest festival for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda-esque Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 West Bengal now has the highest incidence of girls aged between 15 and 19 years being married off, far ahead of states such as Rajasthan that one traditionally associated with child brides. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/1-out-of-10-girls-still-ends-up-as-a-child-bride-in-india/articleshow/67899544.cms So much for worshipping Durga and Kali...

Straight Drive Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Lot of Muslim migrants to Bengal end up as bar dancers in other parts of India in ladies bars. Nit educated enough to secure good jobs so they end up as dancers. The most famous being the one whom Muralitharan was in news. There is a massive majority of those in ladies bars. No secret what happens when they opt for that profession. Bengal must stop being an entry to these migrants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her fault: she failed to pay up Rs 12 lakh that was demanded from her as a penalty for being the wife of a CPI(M) worker. LINK Heck they clamp down on dissent from within party line (LINK).

Besides that thread was just a light-hearted opinion seeking one, not an academic study to analyze, compare and develop an algorithm to rate personal opinions and the modus operandi behind arriving at them.

BTW that minister is a Jamaati mullah, supporter of razakars who led mega rallies in Brigade Parade Ground against Sheikh Hasina and Awami League during the 1971 war crime trials. Put it this way, a fundamentalist like him will be in prison under the current BD govt, he openly supported/supports W.Pak backed mass murderers/war criminals like Sayeedi and Nizami . Anyway coming back to topic, she has replaced 'ram' with 'rong'. For example rainbow in Bengali was 'ramdhonu'/Ram's bow, now it has been made 'rongdhonu'. Rongdhonu doesn't have any backing in Bengali dictionary, she is trying to change the language to appease the Muslims. Similarly an attempt to Urdu-ize many Bengali words. LINK1 LINK2 VIDEO The above pic is the 7th standard environment book, Bengal state board. Chapter is about VIBGYOR (Barnali in Bengali). See the words marked with red rectangles. Sky blue clour (Akashi) is now the Urdu-ized Asmani. The other 2 are Rongdhonu replacing Ramdhonu which is bizarre. Imagine an equivalent scenario where vishram in Hindi is replaced with something else because it has the word 'ram' in it...to preserve India's secular fabric.

All my life, all i've heard is that i'm way too angry and way too aggressive. My religious family even used to tell me to pray to god to reduce my aggression. Anyway, have you ever been to Bengal? The idiots in that state can't even identify an existential threat that's growing among them. Too many spineless liberal Hindus who believe that the Muslims will be as inclusive as them. The Islamic population is about 30% there i believe. You need to acknowledge that there's a threat first to fight it. The Bengalis haven't even acknowledged it till now at least in large scale. Arriving at a logical conclusion after seeing the facts doesn't make one weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
