Bengal was one massive region that existed for thousands of years, and then the British came and created a mess resulting in political, ideological, and nation borders in regions that have been, and are, culturally and linguistically the same.
Nice debate! I favour plurality rather than be SINGULAR. Reason multiple flowers in a Garden - old theory. Allah/God must likes this - thats why Chinese face is different than Indian and Indian is differant than African or European. Or look, seven colours are produced to design the earth. For that democracy is the best way of life - leaving with differences and odds. "Good fences make good neighbors" - I agree if the neighbors communicative and peacful. I am n ot in the debate anymore!!
Thanx for the video............Time has came to show that "KOCH-RAJBONGSHI' was the best, is the best and will remain the best...........thanx for showing our culture..........People had forgotten us...........so its time to remind them again............
I agree with you that the culture of Bengal is rich. Bengali speaking people becoming one country is bad news. The good news is that is never going to happen, at least not in this millennium.
@LordGulliver Just few notes: One day whole world might have only one language. It could be english. So on the basis of language, to make of one bengal might not be a good idea. It is also not that bad news. Liliputs are always helpless to Gulliver. You know what I mean. Individual human being has become helpless long time ago to the power of a country.
I appreciate your philosophical insight. Having a common world language is in itself a bad idea. There were efforts to make Esperanto a global language. Thankfully those efforts failed. Coming back to your view that having a state unified by language is "not that bad news", I can only say that given the nature of religion-driven politics, living in isolation is probably not such a bad idea as it looks. Divided Bengal is not like Germany. The closest parallel is that of Ireland.
Like Ireland, Bengal is divided by religion, and the nature of politics will ensure that the divide will stay, or at least not go away any time soon. Unless religion ceases to dominate civic life (on either side of the Padma), nothing is going to change. But then, as Robert Frost wrote: "Good walls make good neighbors". Either way, each nation has enough problems of its own to contemplate those of the other.
Coming to your metaphor, Gulliver had the magnanimity to leave Lilliput when he could have chosen to stay there indefinitely. So Lilliput was in no way, helpless to Gulliver. In fact leaving Lilliput was the best thing that Gulliver did. Had he stayed on there would not have been the other three adventures. Also never consider Lilliputians as helpless.There are successful microstates like Switzerland and Liechtenstein.Can't they be a good model to emulate?Think about it.
marvelous.
