[edit] Citing critical info
Some critical information may need footnotes leading to sources (standing alone these look a bit like POV). Examples:
- "Bengali nationalism is rooted in the expression of pride in the history and cultural heritage of Bengal."
- "Although the partition was supported by Bengali Muslims, a large majority of Bengalis protested the partition..."
- "The Hindu Mahasabha also agitated against the inclusion of Hindu-majority areas in a Muslim-majority Bengal..."
Nice article, nonetheless. And, oh, I am sure I have seen somewhere that there was an Independent Bengal proposal that came much earlier than the 1947 proposal. Can anyone look for it? Aditya Kabir 17:59, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
even after the independence (1947) there was a strong feeling among the two bengals (east and west ) to merg together ( see e.g Jukti takka gappa by Ritwik Ghatak ). I am sure there are better documentations of this fact. If someone adds this aspect the article will be really useful. Jeroje 22:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)jeroje
[edit] Section removal
I'm removing the following section which is more about alleged evils of Bengali nationalism than about the status of the nationalistic feelings in contemporary world. Moreover, since there are no citations, it seems to be POV. If sufficient citations can be found, the section can be restored.
Bengali nationalism today Under the regime of president Ziaur Rahman, the emphasis on Bengali nationalism as the founding ideology of Bangladesh was replaced by an increasing political emphasis on Islam and "Bangladeshi nationalism," appealing to non-Bengalis and indigenious tribes living in Bangladesh. The incursive settlement of Bengalis in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and other tribal areas of Bangladesh gave rise to the separatist Shanti Bahini insurgency. Rising Islamism has also created conflicts and violence against religious and ethnic minorities in Bangladesh. Increasing illegal immigration from Bangladesh into India has given rise to fears and speculation in the Indian media and political world over the possible promotion of a "Greater Bangladesh" by subsersive groups and some elements of Bangladesh's military and intelligence services, envisioned spanning into the Indian states of Assam, West Bengal, Meghalaya, Tripura and much of northeast India. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.159.127.241 (talk) 20:41, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
