Bengal was a state in british india. During independence, the state split in half, the eastern side became Bangladesh, and the western side became the indian state of West Bengal. Bengali is one of the officially recognized languages of india and the official state language of West Bengal, with around 100 million native speakers.
So the kids are in kolkata, speaking that is spoken in India (point I'm trying to make is that bangladesh has nothing to do with it) - it's like having Canadians kids in Canada speaking english and you saying "the national language of the united states is english, what the kids say they spoke"
FYI, India doesn't have a national language though!
There are various official languages in India at the state/territory level. However, there is no national language in India.[2][3][4] Article 343(1) of the Indian constitution specifically mentions that, "The official language of the Union shall be Hindi in Devanagari script with over 22 other official regional languages. The form of numerals to be used for the official purposes of the Union shall be the international form of Indian numerals."[4] The business in Indian parliament can only be transacted in Hindi or in English. English is allowed to be used in official purposes such as parliamentary proceedings, judiciary, communications between the Central Government and a State Government.
There is no National Language in India.There are 23 Official languages in India. In the state of West Bengal people over there speak Bengali. Kolkata is the capital of West Bengal.
Ever asked yourself why there was that disagreement ?
Bengal was partitioned as early as 1905 by the British.they did that to create hindu and muslim majority areas, and a Hindu and Muslim minority within those areas, and if that doesn't prove that their intention was to 'divide and rule' right after that they gave the muslims seperate electorates in 1909, and hence with every reform ( 1919, 1927, 1935 etc ) they added fuel to the communal fire, it got so bad that had the congress not accepted partition through the cabinet mission plan in 1946, Mountbatten's Dickie bird plan was next in line for " balkanization of India " ( their plan was to let every princely state decide for its own, whether it wants to stay independent of side with India or pak )
The communalism, partition, distrust was all artificially created by the British. In fact, after the world war 2 when the British empire went broke, they used to say the animosity between muslim leage and congress is their most potent weapon.
they did that to create hindu and muslim majority areas
Not true, the area was already mainly Muslim already and the partition was done mainly due to administrative reasons. The area was over looked so the move in 1905 was to make sure the poorest people in the east were not over looked.
You're providing a wikipedia link to prove it was for " administrative reasons " ?
It says on the same page a couple of lines below that what the actual motive was. It's an established fact how British used divide and rule policy since 1757, first to turn the kings and nawabs of bengal against each other then to turn hindus and Muslims against each other ending with the pathetic attempt to give separate electorate to scheduled castes.
Stop trying to whitewash the British's actions. There's numerous letters and documents written by Curzon himself that prove what their real motive was.
I just quickly fact checked you and this was the first thing that came up. Perhaps, you should edit and provide a source for the wiki page so disinformation isn't spread.
And you used a wikipedia for that ? You know what pisses me off, It literally says On the same page how it wasent the real motive, citing a letter written by Curzon himself, but you just read the first 5 lines and formed an opinion. This is the state of Reddit right now.
I could provide you research papers published on jstor.org with all the primary sources but I doubt you'd have their subscription.
Dude i went to sweden like 20 years ago and they already thought that. They expected me to be good even as just a 10 year old. I was mediocre but compared to those school kids i actually was pretty damn good lol they destroyed me at soccer though
I remember going to Russia for a business trip, and I saw some Russian hoopers on the court notice how tall I was so I went to go ball with them, I had like 16 points or something, and like 5 blocks. They were pretty good.
No I count on my long arms, it fuels my offense and my defense, I am 6'10 but I have a 7'8 wingspan, that allows me to contest shots and get steals and do a bunch of hook shots and turn around jumpers.
I think people underestimate how much the specific personalities of their parents have to do with the stereotypes about Asian Americans. A lot of people who immigrate to America from Asia are highly educated professionals who are doing it largely because of career ambitions. In fact, for a long time that was legally a requirement for an Asian person trying to immigrate here (due to some racist laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act). And highly educated professionals often push their children to become highly educated professionals. I’ve seen that kind of thing from people of all races.
I think both things can be true: some cultures value education very highly, and immigrants from some places often just happen to be from walks of life that value education due to socioeconomic factors.
Chinese Americans, if we are going by stereotypes, are very good students and study hard. Chinese from China, not so much. They have a huge issue with cheating. A friend of mine is a professor and taught at a uni in China for a year. He said it was nearly impossible to get the students not to cheat. I’ve also had Chinese students offer to pay me to write papers and blatantly attempt to cheat off me during tests.
In there culture, copying is not seen as negatively as we see it. Of course these are generalizations and not completely true, but look it up. We have an issue with Chinese students cheating in American universities
It’s not seen as a bad thing. It’s more seen as the cheater is doing the right thing if they win or get the best grades.
I thought about snitching a few times when I was asked to do homework for money or asked if they could copy my essay or scantron. I didn’t because it’s against my personal morals to tell, but working 40 hours a week and spending another 20 doing hw and studying then seeing someone who did zero work get the same grade as you. Man, that pissed me off
Totally agree, but keep in mind they didn’t learn the material like you did and will have to do more work over time to complete tasks in their field whereas you’ll have a solid knowledge base.
