"why not abandon the old, dying identity of Bengali nationalism for the emerging entity of a Bangladeshi nationalism?" - Abid Bahar
What do I hear from someone, who claims to be a freedom fighter? It's hard to get off one's own color.
I don't believe, a true freedom fighters would ever think Bangalee-nationalism is dying in Bangladesh. Because – the dream of an independent nation for Bangalees initivated the fight for the independence. That's a fact.
I know, other ethnic communities, beside the Bangalee, live in Banglsh, who were in favor of independence, unlike millions of Bangalee Pakistani-collaborators, who directly opposed national independence.
So, in my view, preserving the rights of those ethnic minorities should have priority over the rights of those who opposed independence.
Now, those who are saying Bangalee-nationalism is dying in Bangladesh, are also saying they want to be recognized as Bangladeshi, which defines their residency, but eliminates the historical fight for an independent nation for Bangalees; may be - that's the goal behind this group movement.

Captain a-hole, not sure how much human excrement you got in your captain's head? Read Bahar's thread/post before you open your rear end. We are talking about sanctity of national anthem. Comprende?

Capt. Razzak A. SyedSent from my iPhoneI am sure, a petty Jamat cadre really understands the sanctity of Bangladeshi independence and its national anthem?? Are we talking about 'Pak sar zamin' or 'Sonar Bangla'?"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."On Saturday, March 12, 2016 9:02 AM, "Abid Bahar abid.bahar@gmail.com [mukto-mona]" <mukto-mona@yahoogroups.com> wrote:

We are asking people to act like a bir (heroe) with unnoto momosher.Mind you, in his latter years, Tagore hated people like you and himself abandoned his commitment to Bengali nationalism and showed his allegiance for Indian nationalism.On Fri, Mar 11, 2016 at 12:26 AM, Khoniker Othithee <khoniker.othithee@yahoo.com> wrote:Transcript of agartala trial could be the best public source of any Bagladesh flag design before 1969.
Come to think of it, military person stationed in w Pak were not so shy about griping about the lack of investment in military and industries in then east Pak , right after the 65 war. And saw the remedy as nothing short of Independence; didn't think of flag. One of biggest rationale for independent BD was revenue from jute, which was believed to be biggest foreign exchange earners but beneficiaries was Panjub and Karachi, it was frequently discussed in Bengali military family gathering after the war. These guy were ready to risk their neckdidnt think of flag for the nation they wanted badly wanted.
I faintly remember , on my home from school learned that sergeant zahirul huq tortured to death for his contribution in the design of the flag, I also remember then Lt col Mustafiz, Lt col Naimul islam and captain khurshid of their vision of Bagladesh as another rising sunin the east like japan. Lt cmdr Moazem was killed onmarch 26th 71 at his elephant residence, and Naimul Islam killed few days later, he happened to be Gen Zia's maternal uncle. I strongly believe Agartala trial had significant role in building a significant role. If you means dig into history of Zahirul Huq hall of Dacca University and o the personnn it is named after. Of they didnt had press releases or conferences for obvious reason.
For all those skeptics, who are not convinced that Japan was not the aspiration for BD flag, tell any 2 natioal flags that differ only in background color.
