Why is this important to have people of Sierra Leone people sing the "আমার ভাইয়ের " and have that broadcasted?
Why do we have the US Ambassador wear লুঙ্গি and have that broadcasted ?
Why ইত্যাদি show get the foreigners recite in Bangla while knowing no-bangla ?
Have these foreigners dance like the indian clowns to show solidarity to Bnagladeshi viewers.
It is because as Bangalee/Bangladeshi we have no self respect!
We feel confident only when we see these white folks accepting ( or pretending to accept) our culture. The same mentality shows in authorships, writing a book in English is much more prestigious than writing in Bangla.
In general speaking and writing in pure colloquial Bangla is the most difficult skill to achieve for any educated Bangalee. As we been slipping in English words as sign of education, we have lost the simple no-englisg-mixing way of speaking or writing Bangla.
Kudos to মহিউদ্দিন খান আলামগীর ( Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir), the once State Minister of Bangladesh who tried hard to speak bangla free of all english junks.
