ABOUT OUR IDENTITY

well guys
as i was going through the topic relating to our identity....
I found that the sylheti culture has its own standard and way of life....this is a culture where we embrace other cultures with ease and great affection...but when the question of our identity arises What i believe is that we sylhetis are responsible for not putting our culture at large....
This is beacuse we sylhetis still feel inferior to the culture of WEST BENGAL.....we are sylhetis we have a different language which is much easier to the normal KELU language...Our parents are also responsible for this becuase when we were kids our parents taught us the NORMAL KELU language and not the sylheti language....this is one reason why we are not able to create an identity....We are still dependent on the WEST BENGAL CULTURE....More over during any social gathering or any function we hardly speak in sylheti...beacuse while giving any speech in the public we dont speak in sylheti.....Its true that if we think about our identity we may relate ourselves as being BANGLADESHIS and all those crap...But being as permanent residents of India...we cannot ever think of such thing...so creating an identity of a culture needs a language which we already have...So i would request each and every sylheti brothers and sisters to converse in sylheti and not in Kelu....more over in an average sylheti family in silchar we would see that children are being forced by their parents to learn RABINDRA SANGEET..My question is why are our parents doing it...
why dont we go for listening sylheti folk geetis.....which will indeed enhance the upliftment of our culture.....well last but not the least...I would blame our parents who dont lay our foundation towards our culture....WE ARE SYLHETIS AND WE ALSO HAVE OUR OWN CHOICE ........AND WHAT I FEEL IS THAT A LANGUAGE IS NEEDED TO CREATE A BASE FOR A CULTURE....beacuse we cannot pick up AK-47 assault rifles and engage ourselves in terrorist activities and fight for a separate state....well thats not our way of living.....we need an identity and people will know us if we prove ourselves through our language......
thank you ...... |
