Dhaka vs Sylhet

[-Samia-]

i am what you call a dhakaiya but i have nothing against sylhetis.infact, i had no idea that people treat sylhetis differently till a few months ago.i have never differenciated between a sylheti and a non-sylheti and i just find the entire thing quite baseless.if it has to do with some stereotypical view...then all i have to say: people, grow up! we all have the right to be judged according to who we ARE, not where we're FROM.
and then again, i don't identify myself as being from one particular district in BD.all i care about is that i'm Bangladeshi.and i'd encourage others to do the same.

Do you wish to meet Samya's older sister, Star?


I'm sure Samya can arrange something. Although it'd have to be chaperoned by either her parents or brothers. They're kinda strict, but I know you understand that.


-Samia- I am glad that you do not differentiate between Sylhetti's and Dakhaiya's. Amora shobai Bangali. However, I hope that you understand that there are many cultural differences in terms of language, food and behaviour, which we should learn to celebrate. Rather than hegemonise the idea of what being a Bangali means.

internet Troller:An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.
An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people.

Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game. For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people. To them, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. As a result, they feel no sorrow whatsoever for the pain they inflict. Indeed, the greater the suffering they cause, the greater their 'achievement' (as they see it). At the moment, the relative anonymity of the net allows trolls to flourish.

Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). You cannot negotiate with them; you cannot cause them to feel shame or compassion; you cannot reason with them. They cannot be made to feel remorse. For some reason, trolls do not feel they are bound by the rules of courtesy or social responsibility.

I know this because I am from Sylhet and when I speak to my fellow Sylhetis, especially amonst the elders this is quite apparent. Also this effect seems to be prevalent both in Bangladesh as well as in the 'expat' community living in the UK. Why do you think people have been campaigning for a direct flight from London to Sylhet without having to stop in Dhaka?

P.S. I am just killing time before thinking about tomorrow work that I need to prepare for.

Wassalamu'alaikum

My insha'Allah to be in laws don't despise people from dhaka. There actaully very nice and religious people, yea the langauge...is ...different, but thankgod we all know english! My dad Alhamdulillah dosnt really care that they're from there but i guess the raisism does exist somewhat in my uncles and aunts..and im not even sure why..and its the same from my fiance's side towards us..all my life i didnt even know what sylheti was..or that there was a another language except shurdho bhasha untill i met my fiance...and the culture difference was quite a ride... but at the end..its who you are..and what kind of a person you are and if your accepting towards others...but maybe im not really feeling the whole culture shock tooooooo much because my fiance has never even been back to syhlet..nor does he care to much for it..and im the same with dhaka.... but is family is VERYY diffrent from mine....my mothers the cool mom thats always been there for me..we hang out, go shopping, have a blast together, infact wherever we go most people think shes my sister or friend..crazy!...Wheras his mom veryy traditional women, never stepped out of her sari, dosnt drive, and her lifes basiclly staying at home and cooking all day..(yikes! couldnt do that!) I duno somtimes its hard for me to accep teh way thier family runs..but i guess its not up to be to say..cuz they seem to be ok with it..
