When a government intends to celebrate any organization, group or gang it should remember that it represents the entire nation and refrain from displaying anything that goes against national norms. An image representing the nation should hold national, and not a sectarian, flag.

If the believers start thinking that the goddess needs a photo to know whom to bless, the space around her feet or even the entire pandal, won't suffice to accommodate several hundred photos of the near and dear ones of the believers. facebook.com/share/r/1C3N8g…


During riots, govt blocks info from the affected place so that the other areas are not influenced by news or rumors resulting in supposed retaliatory violence. Now we have a rascal digging up old incidents to cause enmity among people for what has been done by their forefathers.

"Independence" under which the powers that be dictate people on what not to eat, which religion not to follow or rather to hate, what not to read and so on, in short, there's an attempt to define and control citizens' identities and thoughts, is really worth celebrating!


A Delhi policeman, looking for translation of what he called "Bangladeshi language", didn't approach the B'desh High Commission for this & chose to write to the guest house of GoWB. Hence, he knew what the language actually is. "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"


Language of a populace doesn't change its name with the change in their region's political identity. If Bengali has to be Bangladeshi in B'desh, it shd have been Pakistani before 25/3/1971 and something else before 14/8/1947. Rights confusing dialect with language are not right.


Bengali language is being called Bangladeshi language by a policeman. Wonder if a formula is being set to treat all Bengalis as Bangladeshis!
