I am just going to respond to all your point in this one final post. I will not post any further regarding this.
I will also move these off topic discussions to Chill Bangladesh thread to not derail this thread any further.
I have never claimed that I am the only expert here but your perspective is extremely deficient and patronizing
What did you mean my UK Sylheti buddies? What are you trying to imply now? Make it clear.
You brought up "India Doctrine" out of nowhere to remind everyone of your credibility and then posted a condescending comment -
"Do any of you moderators have any idea how analysis actually works?" And you are surprised to get a snappy retort. Now you can act naive now, but your posts reveal your hypocrisy. You do think yourself as superior to the rest of us here. It may not be visible to you, but clear as daylight to everyone else.
As for your UK Sylheti buddies - do you not see where your buddies like Bananarepublic and uksyl are from? You seem to join hands with them to gang up on other members with different POV. You don't care much for inclusive pluralistic discussion when it comes to the other "jamati" members huh?
You obviously have no problem collaborating with these staunch BAL supporters, who rush to defend India any chance they get. In fact one of them even openly justified Hasina's action of locking up "Mullahs" in Aynaghor for preaching Islam.
The fact that you are okay being buddies with these kind of people and collaborate to gang up on members with different POV, shows you are definitely swallowing the Hindutva trash and it has impacted your world view.
You want evidence of you have been absorbing hindutva trash? Look at your pre-election comments. "Election won't happen", "IG will extend its tenure", "Jamaat will come to power by rigging". These are exact same trash everyone has seen propagated by Awami and Hindutva social media influencers and Godi media prior to election.
You claim to be objective - but no you are not. Everyone has bias, myself included. And your bias has led you to seek confirmation and validation from Hindutva sources unfortunately.
Finally - the reason I brought up Chomsky is because you brought up your work on "India Doctrine" to try to remind everyone of your credibility. Even though I never read your book, but I have seen you defend Bangladesh against Hindutva trolls in the old PDF. It was at a time when we were few and they were plenty and you relentlessly took their insult and continued to counter them. Which is why I was very liberal when it came to you and even argued in your favour with non-Bangladeshi mods, whether you believe it or not.
But after the Chomsky episode, I have the realization that anyone can pretend to be something they are not for an entire lifetime. That's why going forward, no more preferential treatment for anyone.
The reason this argument started because I asked you to not start labelling people just because they don't share your views. And I will end with the same.
