[ALOCHONA] Article on Ekushey in New Age

                    The British were so confounded by the co-mixture of so many religions, languages, customs and even laws in India that they decided to break up the harmony in every which way they could. One of the ways was to count people by their religious identities only (The Census of Bengal, 1872). They even started ascribing religious identities on languages -- Muslim Indian language and Hindu Indian language, etc. This forced pre-selected classification ignores other principles of grouping. 
                
                     Unfortunately a great human tragedy befell the people of India based on those silly, imparactical, hatemongering notions.  It was partitioned.  The birth of Bangladesh is a revolt and a negation  of that ridiculous and disasterous 2-nation theory.

             I hope you have a new and deeper appreciation of Ekushey after reading my article.
