Look you either argue hilsa from BD doesn't matter or it does. You can't have your hilsa & eat it too . You're arguing both ways. In one post you say there's plenty of local hilsa going around. Then you say 3-5000 tons of hilsa isn't enough.
You qualified your initial post by saying only certain sections in society can afford hilsa therefore implying not everybody is into it . And now after tying yourself in knots you're questioning if I'm real ? Are you , I'm asking ?
Not at all. The fallacy is in your thinking. To fight one of the pre requisite is numbers. When you're hopelessly outnumbered there's little you can do or achieve. Hindus in Paxtan or Afghanistan for that matter have no choice.
They either migrate over here or convert or perish over there. You're talking about 5 million versus some 240 million hostiles. What're the odds they'd achieve anything leave aside something substantial. Now do the same calculations for the Hindus in Bangladesh.
Out of a population of 170 million , Hindus & Buddhists comprise nearly 9% of the population. That's 15 million.
Now this simple exercise flowing out of simple logic would be clear to anybody except the likes of you . Why am I not surprised at all the wrong choices over the past 5 decades ?
Abused by bengalis while you seem to be tearing your hair here ? Are you projecting your experiences upon me ? Please don't. It's embarrassing especially at your age & if that's a ruse you're attempting it went out in kindergarten where I am . Try better.
In that respect I admire the Sindhis. They're truly a casteless society. Btw matrimonial columns in newspapers & websites still have suitors proudly mention their caste as far as Bengalis go & seek proposals from their own . No clue what it is in terms of statistics but it sort of blows your attempt at portraying bongo as a casteless utopia out of water.
I meant your fellow Bengalis. That's what country cousin normally means except of a more rustic kind. Never knew your proficiency in the English language was a bit iffy. Was always under the impression Bengalis had a sound grasp over the English language owing to the extra century of servitude they spent under the British.
Look here , you're breaking my heart.
May be so. Just to clarify we weren't discussing freebies . That's a separate discussion. We were discussing the avowed aversion of bongs to rate hikes especially trams once upon a time & their propensity to indulge in violence to give the authorities a piece of their mind accompanied by bandhs , hartals , chakka jam etc .
I see well known phrases which are easily recognisable are wasted on you . Pearls before swine ? Are you truly a bong ? I mean you argue like one . But you what , I'm beginning to concur with your assessment of the great fall in the intellectual abilities of these once wonderful people. Just didn't realise the fall was so steep.
Learn english. Mere 3000-5000 ton means 3000-5000 ton is little amount. Mere means only. Understood?
Only certain section of society have been able to afford Hilsa on regular basis for last several years. In fact, a minimum of 2 decades. Not popular protest took place. Why do you think Bongs will get their undies in twist if they don't get BD Hilsa.|
As a matter fact, social media is circulating posts urging people to not buy BD hilsa by bongs themselves.
What kind of prerequisite of numbers is required to stage protest for Porkistani minorities within India? If you are talking about Porkistani minorities being low in number and therefore unable to stage protest, then wtf is your point about WB Bongs. Do you think we live in BD? Do you even have a basic capacity of formulation of any logical argument?
And about caste. non-Casteism is not about marrying into other castes. Casteism is when marrying into other castes is considered sacrilege. Marrying into ones caste when the marriage is arranged is a common practice because of cultural aspects each household has often aligns when one marries into the same caste. SO, some may prefer it when the marriage is arranged. Common sense.
As for Sindhis, wtf is this
https://www.sindhimatrimony.com/? Oh, yeah, they can be casteless yet choose their own kind of culture for the family they choose to share there lives with, but bongs shouldn't.
The vitriol you have been showing to the bongs - not only today, but before also, shows you must have been traumatised by them somehow. How else you would grow to detest people about whom you obviously have no idea at all? Perhaps you should get over your kindergarten experience and join the grown ups - doubtful though.
As for country cousin, it means similar group of people from same country-side i.e. either rural or semi-rural area, which is not applicable since you didn't even know from which part of WB I hail from or even if I hail from WB itself. It is never used in the context of ethnicity. By normal people. So come again and teach me english.
Tram is literally dead today. I shall bet that 50% of Kolkata residents under the age of 30 have never set foot on a tram in their lives. And, here you are brining up fair rise of tram to prove some point. WB literally didn't have a successful bandh since 2011 - the only good thing about Mamata. I mean are you even living in 2024?
And why should I care about your certification regarding my identity? Hilarious.
Anyhow, your little intellect perhaps is actually telling you that your wisdoms are 'pearls', after all little wit often culminates into heightened self-worth. But, sorry to break your reverie, you don't even have the basic knowledge to develop any wisdom. You are a prime example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
