The statement below by a fellow named QR, who puts a lot of rubbish in this forum, is preposterous. This is a perfect example of the fact that religiously brainwashed idiotic minds are irrational not only in terms of their blind following of religions.
Were our forefathers in East Bengal like the recent immigrants to the USA? Bangalees were the overwhelmingly majority population of the then East Pakistan. They were also majority in the entire country of Pakistan. They were the people of the land, quite unlike new immigrants.
Who were the 'federal government'? Some illegitimate feudal and military dictators.
Was there a valid reason for our forefathers to give up Bangla and assimilate with Urdu? The answer "No" is obvious to any rational person, apparently not to QR.
Let me stop here and let others try to educate people like QR.

Many recent immigrants (to the USA) prefer to use their own language, and, therefore, mix with their own community only; many of them do not even bother to learn English. They are the new backward class. (This was from Dr. Jiten Roy.)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Your forefathers (During 1951) refused to assimilate to the language of the federal government (Urdu) and give up their language (Bangla), so why the double standard? (This garbage was from QR)
