A NOTE ON A NEIGHBOUR WHICH WAS ONCE BENGAL ... 1

As Bangladesh suffers increasing Islamisation and loses her Hindu-Buddhist civilisational links, she is fastracking herself to cultural annihilation among the desert dunes of Arabia. Bangladesh must quickly change course and revert to classical Bengali culture. Else, what happens to all Islamic nations will befall her, a deadly theocratic regression, loss of human rights, curtailment of critical thinking, abolition of free speech, gender inequality, repression of the minorities and a wholesale return to medieval darkness in the name of high-sounding theocratic civilisation. All these features are unofficially but in real already evident there and they need only Constitutional validation before they show up their claws in their bare nakedness. Must West Bengal follow suit?
