[mukto-mona] Re: Zia's Bangladeshi nationalism for Bangladeshi nationhood

I would not worry too much about West Bengal merging with Bangladesh any time sooner. It is a big joke from Dada's side. Nobody needs to relive the murderous genocide and ethnic cleansing of 1947. When EU is about to be falling apart, chances of an unified Indian subcontinent is remotely possible given the religious and ideological differences among the people. No sane mind would tolerate Bismillah at the top of any constitution of an unified entity. Dadas are not fools and would not take the bait!

If 50 years from now, economic realities force countries to cooperate and integrate their economies more tightly to each others resources, that would be a different reality in different time.

If any country is about to be gobbled by the sea water and over population, no religion or nationalism would be able to prevent that inevitable integration of countries. A hollow Bangladeshi nationalism or nationhood would not feed people. People will migrate to better places as we have been witnessing already by the result of dirty Shia-Sunni infighting.

Can Bangladesh be able to deliver the goods to its people in 50 years time when it will have some 500-600 mil population? Even Allah, the almighty does not have any solution for such monumental problem, let alone our halfwits, Jamatis.

The issue of the Bangladeshi Nationalism, which is absolutely necessary to uphold, consolidate, establish and maintain the Bangladeshi nationhood and the integrity and sovereignty of the geopolitical territory called Bangladesh, demands serious attention in view of the fact that there are some politicians who want the two Bengals (Hindu majority West Bengal and Muslim majority Bangladesh) to merge and be one. On the occasion of the mother tongue day on 21^st February 2016, West Bengal Food Minister Jotipriyo Mallik has called for the abolition of the requirement of passport between the two Bengals. But the fact is that the people of Bangladesh do need passport because they are a Muslim majority independent country for which they had to fight with their lives. They do not want to be indistinguishable from the Hindu majority West Bengal. It is for sure they would not subscribe to the economically, culturally and religiously homogeneous EU formula. 

In addition, when there is so much violence and bloodshed between the Sunnis and the Shiites in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Bahrain and even Saudi Arabia and between the Jews and the Muslims/Arabs/Palestinians, the question of the two Bengals uniting with two different religions dominating is simply out of the question/equation. Moreover, it is the Hindus who rejected the idea of a united, greater Bengal in 1947 as they also played an anti-Muslim role earlier, in 1905, at the time of the Partition of Bengal.   

The above paras are preceded by arguments against the impractical ambition of the BJP and Dinanath Batra's Akhand Bharat and followed by arguments against Dev's (Deepak Adhikari's) stupid dream of a united Bengal.
