Indian culture is not monolithic. I was talking about the so called Bollywood or Hollywood culture. Neither of the two is good for a healthy cultural environment of Bangladesh. But again, we cannot be too conservative. Bengali culture has to be dynamic. Bangladesh and West Bengal should work cooperatively for the benfit of both the Bengals. Neither of the two should consider each other as invasive. Both the sides should be open, but unfortunately they are not yet there.
I am not sure if you are interested in implementing the pre-1971 Pakistani policy with regard to cultural exchanges with India. For example, are you interested in Rabindra-borjon? Are you talking about completely sealing the cultural border? I know certain quarters are looking for excuses to boycot Rabindranath. They are advocating for changing the national anthem. They are trying to prove that Rabindranath was against Bengali muslims. He was against the idea of establishing a university in Dhaka. One famous poet in one of his young-life poems complained like this: thakurer put tomar niber dogay ekbaro nobir nam ase nai. Two writers (one Hindu and one muslim named MMR Jalal who also happens to be my close friend) in a series of articles have been trying to refute the wrong ideas about Rabindranath. With solid references they have shown that at least in three occassions Rabindranath praised Muhammed and in one occassion called him a maha-rishi.
We need a healthy Bengali culture, not one like the Taliban's.

Indian cultural invasion to Bangladesh is temporary and won't have a place in Bangladesh forever. Such Nacho Bangladesh Nacho
culture can't survive in mainly muslim dominated Bangladeshi society. You see India never allow Bangla TV stelite channels to
be brodcasted in West Bengal to protect their own culture. They also fear invasion from Bangladesh.Bangladesh's culture is different than India.

Pretty scary. A future Bangladesh to be ruled by people like Mr. Hannan and Mr. Anwar will be a nightmare. The progress that Bangladesh has made in the cultural front is exemplary. Even many in West Bengal sincerely believe that Bangladesh will be the last refuge of Bengali culture and language. They are concerned that Bollywood culture may gradually eclipse the true spirits of Bengali culture. Bangladesh also needs to worry about the same threat.
Looks like all the pogress made so far and the future prospect as well will go down the drain in the hands of this anti-culture group.
I met a youngman from Bangladesh about 15 years ago. He was here for a graduate degree. His father was a teacher in a Saudi university. This young man was a nice person. He believed that female roles in dramas or films should played by males.

Moral preachings are done as if the Preachers are authorized by none other than Allah. Behind their loud preachings we only have to look at their "Islamic" practices -- encouragement of fatwa-zari for all kinds of mental and physical cruelties to women in the villages, systematic stalking and eve-teasing of school-going girls, organized acid throwing, organizing forcible hijabization of women nationwide, and in incidents of rape, blaming the victim for her "moral deprivation" rather than blaming the rapist for the crime. In fact, rape, used extensively as a war-weapon by the Jehadist razakars helping the Pak aggressors in 1971, is upheld as an "Islamic" culture.
These Bangladeshi Islamists have certain specialties of "Islamic" culture that are not noted elsewhere in the Muslim world. They will scream at you for being anti-Islamic if you do not pledge uncritical support for the atrocities against humanity and Genocide in 1971. You must also support the gruesome assassinations of political leaders including the President of the nation in 1975, otherwise you will be branded un-Islamic. Progressive-minded intellectuals who wanted to protest the insult to Islam (by depicting the obscene excesses of "Islam-lovers" in the name of religion) have been attacked by the Islamic culture-loving assassins. THAT is supposed to be "Islamic" culture. If you do not hurl insult at the President, Prime Minister, and the Cabinet of the elected Govt. and the current administation of your country on a regular basis in the most uncivilized, lewd language imaginable, you are to be blasted as an anti-Islamic person. If you want secularism in your constitution are branded as an enemy of Islam.
It is no wonder that the Pakistani politicians and intellectuals are realizing that so many of the wanton murders, cruelties and misogynist crimes in Pakistan would not have been committed if only the 1971 War Criminals were tried and punished for crimes against humanity in the name of Islam.

Even today, you will see candle torching culture at Dhaka in Bangladesh. Does it fall in Islamic culture? Even in BD TV, you will see singing following/copying western songs. Those are destroying BD youth deviating from Islamic values. Thanks.

Mr. Abdul Hannan,I agree with your comment.Those young girls who participationg in the so called "Nacho Bangladesh Nacho" are violating Islamicteaching. Their Parents should discourage them from participation. In Islam gorls can't dance in Public, if they dance in frontof girls/women audience that may be accepted but in piublic it's not recommended.All non-islamic cultures destroying oursociety. Now celibration of Valentine Day, Fathers Day ,Mothers Day became very popular in Bangladesh ,whicg\\h went against Islaimc teaching.In Islam everyday is Mothers day.We muist discourage our next generation from participating such culture.May Allah guide those girls and their parents to his right patgh.Sincerely,M. Anwar

Subject: " Nacho Bangladesh nacho " ( dance Bangladesh dance )--why this now?A television channel has organized a competition "Nacho Bangladesh nacho "(dance Bangladesh dance).In various districts this competition is being organized and final will be held in Dhaka.Mostly young and youthful girls are participating in this. Why this is being done? Such girl dancing in public has never been a feature of Muslim culture any where in the Muslim world now or in the past. A few dancers here and there are not liked. I have no argument whether it is art or not but Islam has not permitted such show of bodies of youthful girls in public.It has no benefit in this world or Akhirat.This is not essential for life. Some argue it is an exercise. There are better ways of exercise now. I ask you to think over it. Is it a new conspiracy to take us away from Islamic decency and morals?Please write on thisShah Abdul Hannan
