Who was that for? The Bangladeshis?

No.

All my Kakas and Pishis spoke it. The first time I landed in Dhaka, very late in life, it was a shock! EVERYBODY spoke our family dialect! In Calcutta they laugh at us. Bhanu Banerjee is from here, a school friend of my father (he was known as Shamyomoy), as was the great Chittaranjan Das, and...

টাঙ্গাইল জিলা কোথায় পরে দেখসো তো, খোকামনি ? বগুড়া আর ঢাকা'র মাঝামাঝি। আমার মাতামহী বগুড়া'র বাসিন্দা ছিলেন , আমরা হলাম গিয়া ঢাকা মুন্সীগঞ্জের মানুষ, অর্থাৎ বিক্রমপুর বেজগাওঁ থেকে। এই দাবিগুলা মারাত্মক জিনিস। নদীয়া-কুষ্টিয়া'র লোকেদের বাইন্ধা রাখাটাই বিরাট কাজ। Where do you see Tangail...

Using composites is perfectly safe. Think fibre-glass or FRP for ship-building. Of course, in aero-engineering, stresses are higher; still.....

What a beauty! What do you mean, indigenously made? Who designed it?

Something like this

I don't understand. Is this a minority government? 38 seats out of 80?

I have tried to use them in a war game that is being simulated, but in an arbitrary manner, considering we know nothing about the locations.

These are apparently used as stationary pieces of artillery. How, where, under which command, I have no idea, how they COULD be used, I have a very good idea, but who's listening?

You have other refuges.

@Nykyus @Rooxbar @Afif @Nilgiri @Ryder I just realised what I had blundered into. Without getting involved in your high-quality discussion, I would like to mention that one of the voices that you must listen to, whether or not you agree with her, is that of the formerly Russian/Soviet...

This is not correct. The Yueh Chi, or Yuezhi, were defeated more than once by the Hiong Nu. On the first occasion, they went westward, and displaced the Saka, who fled south towards the Ferghana Valley and Tajikistan in general. At this time, they attacked the flourishing Bactrian Greek...

A brilliant post. However, do not mix the Yueh Chi with the Saka. They were the most bitter enemies.

What a relief.

Not now, after the war game. I am in the middle of reading Bengal - the Unmaking of a Nation. There are half a dozen more. All give room for doubt that the TNT, The Two-nation Theory, was a good idea.

Welcome to the forum. Hope you have fun.

These are frankly such a waste of time, both for the person making it and the person who accidentally views it!

<sigh!> One of the many things to stick in the craw. Most talented East Pakistani professionals found their fullest expression in West Pakistan based careers. Like my friend Reza urRahman of Shaw Wallace Bangladesh, whose accountancy firm audited PIA.

How I really, really wish you could write an history of the Indian judiciary.
