Assam BJP leader slams Malviya over ‘Bangladeshi language' row
A former Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Assam's Bengali-speaking Barak Valley hit out at party leader Amit Malviya for his take on Sylheti, a variant of Bengali. Defending a recent Delhi Police communique seeking the 'translation of documents containing text in Bangladeshi language', Mr. Malviya, who heads the BJP's information technology cell, said the Sylheti dialect of Bengali was 'nearly incomprehensible to Indian Bengalis'. Taking to social media, the BJP's former Silchar MP, Rajdeep Roy, wrote: 'Sylheti is far older than the modern state of Bangladesh, or even East Pakistan. It transcends the borders and histories of today's political entities.' Pointing out that Sylheti is the lingua franca of Barak Valley, Mr. Roy said that more than 70 lakh people in Assam, Meghalaya and Tripura speak it. He said dismissing Sylheti as alien to Bengalis in India was 'inaccurate, deeply unfortunate, and condemnable'. The former MP also reminded Mr. Malviya that some of the historical figures that the BJP reveres spoke Sylheti. They include Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the founder of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, and Bipin Chandra Pal, one of the Lal-Bal-Pal trio of India's freedom movement. Other BJP leaders in Barak Valley spoke out against Mr Malviya. 'Silchar's incumbent MP, Parimal Suklabaidya, is a Sylheti speaker. So is Kabindra Purkayastha, who became our party's first-ever MP from the northeast in 1991,' a BJP leader in Barak Valley said. The Trinamool Congress's Rajya Sabha member and a resident of Silchar, Sushmita Dev, slammed Mr. Malviya too. 'It is disgraceful that the BJP's loudmouth does not know the history of those of us who speak in Sylheti. The Prime Minister's Office needs to sack this incompetent and ignorant bigot,' she said. Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi said it was not surprising for the 'arrogant BJP' to dehumanise Bengali people living in West Bengal and the northeastern States of the country. 'First, the BJP asks the Bengali people to declare themselves as Bangladeshis through the CAA, and now the party insults their language as being foreign. The BJP does not want a united India. They are only interested in reopening old scars,' he posted on X. Earlier, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had said that the Delhi Police's letter to the Resident Commissioner of New Delhi's Banga Bhavan for assistance on 'Bangladeshi language' was 'scandalous, insulting, anti-national, unconstitutional'. She pointed out that Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore and Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay wrote the National Anthem and the National Song in Bengali. Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma, the founder of Tripura's Tipra Motha Party, also expressed his indignation at the letter. 'This is deeply concerning. Today it is Bengali, tomorrow it can be any other language. There is no such thing as the Bangladeshi language! How can we forget that even our National Anthem 'Jana Gana Mana' was originally composed in Bengali by Tagore,' he asked.

Bengali film industry posers for BJP in language controversy
Kolkata: Tollywood has joined politicians across party lines who have come in support of CM , who criticised Delhi Police on Sunday over a notice issued to Banga Bhawan in the national capital. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The notice sought help to translate the "Bangladeshi language" for an ongoing trial. Reactions poured in from the likes of Prosenjit Chatterjee, Kaushik Ganguly, Srijit Mukherjee, Rupam Islam, Rahul Arunoday Banerjee, and Parambrata Chattopadhyay. 'Dhumketu' director Kaushik Ganguly said Bengali is his favourite language. "For eight years, I taught the Bengali language. I never knew that there was any 'text' in the 'Bangladeshi' language," said Ganguly, citing that Delhi has plenty of well-versed academics in Bengali and the authorities can easily approach them to get clarity on the language. "Delhi has numerous universities and many esteemed professors of the Bengali language. Can't the administration approach them to clarify their understanding of the Bengali language? William Carey learned Bengali passionately to understand the soul of Bengal. If today's administration is unclear about the language, seek help; otherwise, their severe ignorance will repeatedly be exposed in official letters. Although numerous regional dialects have emerged from the Bengali language, the only 'text' is in Bengali," Ganguly said. Earlier, 'Padatik' director Srijit Mukherji took to social media to point out: "That's not Bangladeshi language, morons, that's Bangla or Bengali, the same language in which your National Anthem was originally written and one of the 22 official languages of India." On Monday, actor-director Parambrata Chattopadhyay took to social media to express his views on the subject with a clear disclaimer that it is "not a political post". Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The actor-director questioned if the Delhi Police's act is symptomatic of a certain mindset that innately "otherises" all other languages and cultures in the country apart from what's practised and spoken in the mainstream. He stated, "The method of discerning might attract debates, but I support the principle of not letting foreign nationals seep into Indian territories and becoming voters illegally. But I am also an aware individual who's equally proud of being an Indian and a Bengali! That makes me wonder, is there a separate language called 'Bangladeshi'? Dialects and accents can differ, but it's the same language, our language, my mother language. .. 'Bangla'! Or 'Bengali'!" Chattopadhyay added that post-Partition, people on both sides of the border in Punjab and Bengal share many commonalities, which is not only historical but also linguistic and cultural. "A large percentage of Pakistanis speak Punjabi, or some even Sindhi or Gujarati! But in India, do we call native Punjabi or Sindhi speakers 'Pakistani language' speaking people? Then how or why does Bangla become only Bangladeshi?" On the sidelines of an event on Monday, Chatterjee said he would stand beside the CM. "The Bengali language will be there forever. I will extend my support to the chief minister in her fight against this language terrorism," he said. On Tuesday, Trinamool Rajya Sabha leader Derek O' Brien extended his thanks for the statements made. "We have noticed the statements made. We thank them for speaking up. This is not just a political issue, but an issue which impacts all of us who love Bengal," he said.

Tripura CPI-M, Tipra Motha Party slam Delhi Police for referring to Bengali as a 'Bangladeshi language'
Guwahati: CPI-M and the ruling BJP's ally Tipra Motha Party (TMP), on Tuesday, criticised the Delhi Police for referring to Bengali as a "Bangladeshi language". Leader of Opposition Jitendra Chaudhury, who is also the Tripura CPI-M Secretary, said that Bengali language (also known as Bangla language) is one of the 22 Indian languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution. Productivity Tool Zero to Hero in Microsoft Excel: Complete Excel guide By Metla Sudha Sekhar View Program Finance Introduction to Technical Analysis & Candlestick Theory By Dinesh Nagpal View Program Finance Financial Literacy i e Lets Crack the Billionaire Code By CA Rahul Gupta View Program Digital Marketing Digital Marketing Masterclass by Neil Patel By Neil Patel View Program Finance Technical Analysis Demystified- A Complete Guide to Trading By Kunal Patel View Program Productivity Tool Excel Essentials to Expert: Your Complete Guide By Study at home View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program He added, "In Northeast India, there are many languages with more than 200 dialects. One should not be identified with his language. Due respect must be given to all people irrespective of his mother tongue and culture.' He added that the way Delhi Police presented the matter is most unfortunate and there is no language in the world as "Bangladeshi language". Chaudhury, also a CPI-M Politburo member, told the media that Bengali is the second most spoken language in India after Hindi. Live Events The Left leader alleges that hate activities against Bengali language and speakers in BJP-ruled states are often reported."The national anthem of India was written in Bengali, and now the language is being insulted," he claimed. There has been an outcry after a letter from a Delhi Police Inspector at the Lodhi Colony police station -- seeking a translator for the "Bangladeshi language" in connection with a matter at Banga Bhawan (the guest house of the West Bengal government in national capital) -- went viral on social media. The use of the term "Bangladeshi language" to refer to Bangla sparked strong protests and criticism in Tripura, Assam and other states. BJP's ally TMP also criticised the Delhi Police for terming Bengali language as "Bangladeshi language". TMP Supremo Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma said that it is most unexpected to refer Bengali language as a 'Bangladeshi language' by the Delhi Police. "Today it is Bengali, tomorrow it can be any other language. There is no such thing called Bangladeshi language. People of Bangladesh also spoke in Bengali language. The Bengali language also has different dialects," Debbarma told the media. He said: "We should not forget that our national anthem 'Jana Gana Mana' was originally composed in Bengali by Rabindranath Tagore. In our Northeast region there are many languages with more than 200 dialects. People should be respectful of each other's languages."
