Jang, Dhaka's cabs are few but top-class, not like our yellow Ambassadors.

*I must admit that Bong Muslims (mostly) in Bangladesh are more Bengali than Hindus but Indian Bong Muslims (mostly) are Islamists like typical Islamist Pakistanis.

Shoaib, I may not be referring to poser to Majumdar.

It's contextual to refer to the hard facts and try to explain how Islam enters as the sycretic brand of sufism and morphs in to political assertion when in 20-40% and turn aggressive when the population becomes 60% and gets Wahabi when it becomes 95% and above.

We have the live example of how north-west India was lost to puritanical Islam and the corrosion started in eastern India and accentuated by the migration from Bangladesh*. Islam wont allow the luxury of free spirit and thought as it otherwise gets it in other cultures.

*I must admit that Bong Muslims in Bangladesh are more Bengali than Hindus but Indian Bong Muslims are nowhere more Islami like Pakistanis.

I also admit that you are nowhere near that sterotype Islamist. You are just like any middle class Indian. There're millions like you.

[In other words I'm asking as to why there was this migration from Bangladesh to W Bengal and Assam? ]

To understand that, you can read about the mechanism by which cancer spreads. It's called metastasis.

Cancer cells kill other cells by literally crowding them out - thus they take over one local area, forming a tumor. After that, a small number of cells from within the tumor gets into the bloodstream and navigate to near and distant parts of the body, to form new colonies. This is exactly like Bangladeshi refugees moving to Assam, West Bengal and Mumbai. Once metastasized, they multiply profusely and crowd out the pre-existing local cells, redirecting nutrients towards themselves, and killing the local cells by crowding them out physically and starving them.

VRV,

You still didn't answer my question, sir. Why was this math lesson addressed to me? If this is related to my Q to Majumdarda then please do read the Q again.

Shoaib, I have visited Bangladesh and they're worse than us.

Yes, they are poorer than India but are they worse than Assam is the question I'm asking. In other words I'm asking as to why there was this migration from Bangladesh to W Bengal and Assam?

daniyal and other bongs..here is an interesting article by kaplan.

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200804/kolkata

"Arriving in Calcutta by bus from Dhaka, the capital of next-door Bangladesh, is like arriving in West Berlin from East Berlin during the Cold War—a trip I made several times. Grayness is left behind. Instead of the rusted signs of Dhaka, giant, swanky billboards advertising global products glow in the night like back-lit computer screens."


assam actually has considerable economic attraction thanks to ONGC not just form bangladesh but rest of indian.

Shoaib, I have visited Bangladesh and they're worse than us. Moreover the money earned in India is more in Takas when sent thru money changers, which happens from Bombay and Dehli Bangladeshis.

This is nota mere argument but a ground reality.

Bangladesh official stats for 1981, 1991, 2001

Hindus were

12.13% (1981)
10.52% (1991)
9.34% (2001)

How scary?

I guess u know how it's widening in West Bengal, some of which are Muslim majority by now. First they wanted separate zameen, nation in the name of Islam and now invade our country as economic migrants? They may be economic immigrants but the II or III generation may raise the flag of Islam or at least separate Islamic party as we see now in Assam (as numerical majority it's be impossible to control as we do in Kashmir Valley now).

As for the thread following the predictable route, it has to unless Bhindus want to dismember as it happened predictably in north-west India and now happening in south-east India.

VRV,

Yes, I have heard this argument many times before and this thread would, in all probabilty, take a very predictable route.

However, why was this math lesson addresed to me?

Not to mention the tipping scales of pro-Muslim demography in Assam, courtesy Bangladesh. Gurgaon I can understand, but why is there so much immigration to Assam. Are economic condtions much better in Assam than in B'desh?

#50 Posted by VRV on March 24, 2009 9:25:24 am
Shoaib, Lets do a small math for Bengal.

1951 – Bengal population – 66. 743 mio (West Bengal and Bangladesh)

Hindu – 43.00%
Muslim – 55.51%

2001 – Bengal Population – 204. 027 mio (West Bengal and Bangladesh)

Hindu – 34.56%
Muslim – 64.36%

Not to mention the tipping scales of pro-Muslim demography in Assam, courtesy Bangladesh. Are Muslims out breeding Hindus or Hindus follow (mostly) follow family planning or there're mass conversions?

The talk of secularism, liberalism are all nice but on ground Islam is conquering India slowly but surely.

Lets take Punjab. They're known to worship peers and sufis. Now what's the situation there? First they kicked out non-Muslims and now they're kicking the butts of moderate Muslims, incl Shias.

That's the worst fear of Indians abt Wahabism or pure form of Islam. It comes in stages. Unless we know it, it'd be the story of frog in the hot water.

[hi silent... why not india? its closer nationality, its got plenty muslims. why go malaysia or dubai?]

Because silentvoice is a musla. Malayasia is one of the worst models to emulate. Chinese (buddhists) and Indians (Hindus) built up their economy. The indigenous people converted to musla-ism and robbed everything from them. Today the Chinese and Indians are treated like 2nd class citizens, with sharia courts deciding any cases between muslas and non-muslas, and the best jobs going to the indigenous people, who HAVE to be Muslas to get the benefits given to indigenous people.

Muslas will always be muslas, and do musla-giri wherever they go. The good news is that as muslas spread like cancer to other parts of the world, the West, the Russians and the Chinese are coming more and more in conflict with muslas. Luckily for us sacred-cow-like Hindus, they will not tolerate musla-giri in their countries.

Majumdarda,

East Bong Hindoos betrayed the Hindoo cause in 1947 and got properly shafted in turn.

How did EB Hinuds betray anyone? A bit of an expansion would be nice, sir.

Nkg,

What is the difference between a Rarhi and a Bangaal? Are only Dhakaite migrants called the latter or all E Bengali refugees?

Sanatani, Majumder...
If you like to abuse someone for high musla population in Bengal and Assam, it should be the Bongs of West Bengal ( myself a Rarhi)....If we Rarhis claim to initiate the early part of social, cultural and educational reform in Bengal ( which later spread, to some extent, to entire India), the people of east bengal had shown better result there after...I believe, people of West Bengal should have taken more active role in eradicating musla menace from Indian Bengal. We simply taunted East Bengalis (Bangals) rather than helping them....Subhash Bose should be abused more than people like Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy....

Silent...
Paki muslas are slave to arab beduins. Why they will admire Malay muslas? Malay muslas are slave to the same arab masters.....pedigree wise, Paki muslas are more musla than malay muslas......
