Emotional damage?
Did you mean mental damage?
Does he realise that statements like his, at a time like this, only exacerbates people?

[I don't use words like 'exacerbates' normally. This isn't normal.]

“exacerbates people”?

Using the word in the wrong context, dude!

My English teacher would rip your head off lol

I think you mean “antagonise people”?

Thank you for your kind words.

There is absolutely no reason that BD cannot have good relations with both India and Pakistan.

Hasina had this weird pathological hatred of Pakistan which most BD'shis do not.

Her fondness of India can be understood in terms of her family's relations with them over many decades but she allowed her personal connections to cloud some of her political decisions she made over the last 15 years. That was one of the reasons she lost the support of the BD population.

To be fair to her, the pak military and political establishment always went out of their way to irritate and antagonise her.

Extremely fringe view that history has shown was the wrong one to have held..

BD and Pakistan was never a viable state and the only regret was the separation was not peaceful.

Even if Mujib had been allowed to be PM in 1971, he would have laid the groundwork for separation probably within 10 years as the territorial discontiguity and the absolute difference in cultures are too great between the two sides.

Anyway, I would like everyone to have to reveal their real backgrounds here and have flags and/or other information on their avatar, as otherwise it is more difficult to have a proper conversation with people whose background is either unknown or thought to be something else from reality.

British empire didnt gave that option of separate Bengal muslim country so at that time it made sense. British wanted India to remain as big as possible. Otherwise ideally there should have been sikh state in east punjab, Christian state in NE. Bangladesh would be lot bigger then now. And few more muslim countries with in India.

India would be 97% hindu with no pseudo secularism that didnt last long anyway.

A+ in both.

They didn’t release marks then. So have no idea.

I have never seen/heard that word used in that context.

They didn't give that option, it was an internally generated idea.

I mentioned the three Bengali politicians who conceived the idea and got Jinnah's consent, but faced the hostility of Syama Prasad Mukherji, the head of the Hindu Mahasabha, who went to the Congress leadership and demanded a referendum. The referendum showed a preference (among Bengal legislators, taken separately as Hindus and Muslims) for partition.

The British contributed only with the election administrative arrangements.

Incidentally, Mujib, as a young student activist, was a follower of Suhrawardy and the Muslim League.

India would be 97% hindu with no pseudo secularism that didnt last long anyway.

Easy for people outside India and intent on pontificating to say. If you had spent 74 years in country, you might have thought differently.

Well, now you have.

 

[Joe Shearer]

Well, now you have.

Cheer up, champ

I've had my language corrected on four distinct occasions, each of which remains a smarting memory.

 

[BananaRepublic]

He is, but that's his point of view.

If you look at the posts of more than one member, not all current citizens of Bangladesh are happy about the parting from Pakistan. That is their point of view.

I think I told you this before.

I have Pakistani acquaintances but zero close buddies. They always find a way to irritate me!

Whereas I have many, many, close buds in India.

You have Hinduvta Indians on one side - truly a minority.

And people who will die for you Indian Hindus.

It is a shame that not many Bangladeshis have experienced that side.

Whenever I visit India I am truly humbled by the hospitality.

Think Hasina gets the same treatment - maybe explains her India bias!

Bangladesh’s Yunus hails slain student in appeal for unity​

Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus appealed for religious unity on Saturday as he embraced the weeping mother of a student shot dead by police, a flashpoint in mass protests that ended Sheikh Hasina’s 15-year rule.

Nobel laureate Yunus, 84, returned from Europe this week to helm a temporary administration facing the monumental challenge of ending disorder and enacting democratic reforms.

“Our responsibility is to build a new Bangladesh,” he told reporters.

Several reprisal attacks against the country’s Hindu minority since autocratic ex-premier Hasina’s toppling have caused alarm in neighbouring India as well as fear at home.

“Don’t differentiate by religion,” he said.

Yunus called for calm during a visit to the northern city of Rangpur by invoking the memory of Abu Sayeed, the first student slain during last month’s unrest.

“Abu Sayeed is now in every home. The way he stood, we have to do the same,” he added.

To be fair to her, the pak military and political establishment always went out of their way to irritate and antagonise her.

I think they were more responding to her than the other way round.

Her problems started as she had a vendetta to get everyone that was involved in any way with her father's death.

Her father was a great leader for independence but was a poor administrator and had dictatorial tendencies.

That is not a way to build a nation and get unity.
