[🇵🇰] Jinnah And Urdu-Bengali Controversy: A Historical Fallacy

[ThunderCat]

I was posted to Bengal twice in my long career and met thousands of them in Pakistan and overseas. In Pakistan, an uneducated person freely admits that he/she is as uneducated as you know. In Bengal, ignorant people are brainwashed to believe that they are educated and act like such. That is a big difference in attitude. I find those Bengalis living in Pakistan to be more positive than those in Bengal.

I am not surprised, seeing all the Bangla trolls that infested the previous PDF forum, mostly to seek validation from Pakistanis. One of them even claimed Bengal was the most technologically advanced place on Earth before the British came and looted or something of that sort.

I notice whenever comparing themselves to Pakistan, these Bharati and Bangla trolls suddenly turn into economist wannabes and post a bunch of nonsensical numbers to confuse people.

Whenever Pakistanis refused to give them validation, they'd start trolling and insulting Pakistanis. Most of them would not respond to my arguments and only repeat themselves.

I am hoping for this forum to adopt policies against this type of trolling. No Pakistani forum should never have to become a therapy hub for frustrated Banglas or Bahratis or anyone else trying to cope with the reality of their countries.

I know a Pakistani young woman who was a tenant in my house who worked as a flight attendant on Saudia airlines. She had several layovers. She told me Bangladesh was the dirtiest and most uncivilized country she ever went to.

The one country she loathes. She had a strong dislike for Bangladeshis as well. Her Bangladeshi colleagues were very rude to her and she found the locals at her Dhaka layover very uncivilized.

You know, the old PDF owner(s) was only interested in jacking up the web traffic to get a higher market valuation, and it did reach a very high valuation for such a forum at some stage. So, they welcomed high toxicity, especially from the Indians, and even never hesitated to delete pro-Pakistani posts en masse to appease them. There are also some serious issues which I can not say here in public.

My high school friend Taimur’s dad was an SSG platoon leader deployed to Chittagong in 1971 war. Man……some of the stories he told me were out of this world! How they fought off thousands of insurgents attacking their small company. Totally cut off from resupply or rations…..They killed hundreds of them with their bare hands. Strict order to conserve ammo. Khanay peenay ko kakkh nahi. The insurgency started many months before the war did. You guys got no idea what they had to do to survive and escape! They got out of the base after the fall of Dhaka…..made their way down to Burma. Trudged thru dense mangrove jungles at night so they couldn’t be spotted. Commandeered a boat and fled to Burma. Surrender was never an option, not for an SSG man. It was like a WW2 movie what he told us off n on. My God. PIA evacuated them from Rangoon after a few months from the Pakistan embassy over there. Had they been discovered during their escape they’d a gotten lynched in a heartbeat. Our SSG is good. They train their men well for survival and combat.

Please read how Bengalis see the language movement. it doesn’t matter how you see it. It matters how mainstream Bengalis see it now :

Language movement and emergence of Bangladesh

Language Movement began in 1948 and reached its climax in the killing of 21 February 1952 leading to establishment of Bangladesh in 1971. Ekushey February or Language Movement Day or...

"And the movement increasingly assumed a liberationist, emancipatory character, at least cutting the first turf for our national liberation movement of 1971—fundamentally a people's war against Pakistani neocolonialism—driven as it was by its three distinctly pronounced principles: equality, justice, and human dignity. But the very anticolonial ethos of our Language Movement was also evident right from the beginning, as the movement confronted and combatted what I wish to call linguistic colonialism."

And there are millions of pieces of evidence if you look.
