Talk:Bangladesh

this article really deserves praise

look at what it says about our language having a script "It is an Indo-Aryan language of Sanskrit origin with its own script." ... look at the flora and fauna part..more bird species than europe? hello! anyone?..cuisine ? .. Speechless.. A marvel I always look at to remind myself how erudite bangladeshies are...180.234.36.142 (talk) 15:51, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

few years of particularly chosen political history discussed in the introduction is totally not relevant

We do not read what happened in the United states during the american civil war in the introduction paragraph of the wiki article "United States of America". do we? no! We do not read Engaland was involved in a bitter and controversial war against Argentina few decaded ago. Talking about 2 years of emergency law in Bangladesh, which is well past now, is compltely irrelevant and is ut of topic. This i discussed withint politics and history section and should only be discussed there. Besides, Bangladesh, like many other countries, had many phases in its history where democracy was denied and elections were postponed by military government and dictators took over the reign of the country. However, th most recent election postponement situation was the least severe one in history and anyone knowing the truth while living in Bangladesh would know it was direly needed to ensure a free and fair election in a country of 150 million people. There was severe political unrest which was hampering the lives of general public and the caretaking govt installed by the leaving party was corruptedand as a result Military had to intervene to install a caretaking govt of honest and hghly acclaimed civilians to look over a fair election. The voter cards were one of the main sectors of corruptions previously and the army had to reprint them, after collecting the information from the field again. The political system was filled with corruption and most politicians had to be rounded up for the corruption charges. All these things needed time and it was not a dictatorship rule like it was in past cases. So it is not worth mentioning i the most important and general section of the article regarding Bangladesh. It could easily be described in the proper sections, which are Politics and/or History.

The exact lines I am talking about are: The government is a parliamentary democracy; however, political rule was suspended under emergency law for two years from 11 January 2007 to 17 December 2008, written in the end of the Introductory system. It is a parliamentary democratic system and there isa democratic govt in place and the above mentioned fact is irrelevant to the information presented before or after it. So I am proposing to delete this.

Bengali or Bangla

I notice that, Bengali is often written as Bangla in many Wikipedia articles including this. I have introduced a talk in Wikipedia talk:Notice board for Bangladesh-related topics#Bengali or Bangla. Please, read and discuss as necessary. Dispute be resolved. --নাফী ম. সাধ nafSadh^talk 09:14, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Copy Paste, rewrite and edit needed

the History section includes a paragraph, added by Thisthat2011, saying After Mujib declared independence ... sought shelter in India. this part seems like direct copy-paste from the cited page and not written in a style best for Wikipedia. A copy-edit might be of help for this section. Some other parts of this article need editing. --নাফী ম. সাধ nafSadh^talk 18:53, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

"Virtual" massacre?

"Yahyah’s brutal crackdown, including a virtual massacre of the intelligentsia in the universities of Bangladesh." What is a "virtual" massacre? It implies "not actually a massacre", which is presumably not the intended meaning. This needs to be clarified, preferably with statistics and a good source. (The current text is taken from a history article on a news website that seems rather sensationalist / POV - it claims for example that the crackdown "was so vicious as to put into shade even the war crimes of the Nazis" - a claim that has been toned down slightly for the wiki article).
