Anyways I was talking about my disagreement with my friend. I am convinced shidol has a silheti origin while my friend is convinced that shidol has a manipuri ancestry ;D

A linguistic solution to the controversy over the origin of Hidol/Shidol:

Once upon a time the river Avon flowing through Stratford in England was full of small fish. A young man, named William Shakespeare, was a good fisherman. He would catch more fish than what he could sell in the market. He was an emerging businessman which is why he managed to write 'Merchant of Venice'. However, he was thinking of how to store those fish so that he could sell them during winter for more profit. First he started to sun-dry them, but the smell of the drying fish invited a trouble for Shakespeare. One day Shakespeare's neighbours complained to the local police. To avoid hassle Shakespeare hid all dried fish underground. To do that he first put the dried fish in an earthen container (hence the fish was called 'Put-in fish', but later the Bengalis Banglicised this as 'Puti' ).

When the winter came, Shakespeare dug them out and took to the market. That was new thing and would not sell. So Shakespeare started 'selling' them free as a dole (means a charitable gift of food). However, there were two kinds of Putimaachh. The big ones were male and the small ones were female. Shakespeare was famous for introducing new words to English language. So he used his innovative skills and called the male Putimaachh 'He-dole' and the female Putimaachh 'She-dole'.

When Shakespeare became famous for his literary works, his business received a great boost. Now the sea-going traders came forward and started exporting He-dole and She-dole overseas. In fact those dried fish was very expensive. The only market for them was Bengal – particularly Sylhet and its surrounding regions. However, the English traders would export the big male Putimaachh (He-dole) to Sylhet for better price and small female Putimaachh (She-dole) to other places. As a result, this special food is called 'Hidol' (He-dole) in Sylhet region and 'She-dol' (She-dole) in other places.

To make more profit the English businessmen caught all Putimaachh alive from the river Avon and put them in the river Kushiara in Bengal. Unlike the English rivers the Bengali rivers formed a network and as a result Putimaachh quickly spread all over Bengal and grew in plenty. The English traders in Bengal were running after the Puti population. However, to establish control over the rivers containing Putimaachh the English traders eventually colonized Bengal and then whole India. Since then the English do not eat but worship Hidol/Shidol. ;)

Thanks for your appreciation of the authenticity of my dossier. Full appreciation of this message requires a high standard of sensitivity (Roshbodh) and you have got it ;D.

However, this is just an outline of a PhD thesis titled 'The Linguistic Discovery (not Invention) of the Origin of Hidol/Shidol'. The research method employed here is 'English Imagination', similar to that used in PM Tony Blair's famous 'Dossier on Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction' 8). Mine is even more authentic and scientific than Mr. Blair's. While Mr. Blair's method is heavily depended on Cut-n-Paste technique, my method is purely linguistic :D.

A few days of abscence and people start thinking that I am Beroshik. That really is not fare :'(

But unfare as u are. I really have to be an alien from some other planet not to appriciate your creativity, after savouring that beautiful piece. Wow! What imagination! I am sure this would do credit even to Mr. Shakespeare.

That is the most beautiful piece of theoritical work ;D I have eever seen.

And I am by no means disapointed. In fact I am ecstatic at finding that Mr. William Shakespeare shared my love for shidol and hidol. And you know what this prompts me to come up with a hypothesis of my own.

"I think any body who loves shidol, by default begins to have some characteristics which are the halmark of selehitism, and thus becomes part sylheti himself" ;D ;D ;D
So you yourself and the ilustrious Mr. Shakespeare by virtue of your love for shidol join the exclusive Sylheti international club, and we the sylhetis of the world on our part do hereby, solemnly claim Mr. William Shakespear and Mr. Masud Rana as our own. Ha ha ha :D :D :D

There are a number of evidences suggesting that Albert Einstein was also a Sylheti.
He dreamt about the mass energy conversion formula [E=Mc2] after taking a hearty meal containing atleast 12 Hidol Boda [Kumra pata diya] at night. The tiny shutki is supposed to contain large amount of protein.

All sylhetis are related to each other in general. That is the general theory of relativity. This is one of the facts that suggests that Einstein was a Sylheti.

Further interpretaion of Asitikantha's theory.

Einstein's Sylheti origin and his inspiration from Hidol – A linguistic interpretation

Einstein used to work in a Boro Khet in Moulvi Bazar, Sylhet. His original name was Phoga. He was a very hardworking kamla (labourer) employed by a rich farmer. His employer would give him some Pantabhat (boiled rice kept in water overnight) and Hidol (specially processed dried Puti fish) for lunch. That was the right diet to keep him fit and to enable him to undertake heavy workload. He used to think how this simple diet was so energetic. He mainly focused on Hidol and thought days and nights. One day the following clicked his mind:

"Energy came from Hidol which is essentially a Mass (Sylheti pronunciation of Maachh). Therefore Mass could be converted into Energy. Energy is mass and mass is energy! E=Mc2 !"

When he formulated his finding into E=Mc2, he shouted the Sylheti equivalent of Eureka: 'Aami Aain Paichi !' 'Aami Aain Paichi (I found the law)!!' He explained his theory to his co-workers and they were impressed. All kamlas started respecting him as a true pundit.

Sylheti culture would not allow anyone to refer to a pundit as 'Shay' or 'Hay'. Instead, they use the word 'Taain'. Out of respect people would refer to the Mass-Energy (Fish-Energy) formula as 'Taainor Aain' (his law). Now the pundit gave up working in Boro Khet and started working on natural laws (Aain). He was so identified with discovering general and specific laws, people would say 'Taain oi Aain aar Aain oi Taain'. Eventually he was known to all as 'Aain-oi-Taain'.

As soon as the British tea planters came to know about his discovery, they took him to Europe. That was the first known brain drain in the world. However, the British have a fundamental problem with Bengali pronunciations. They would pronounce, Thakur as Tagore, Gongupadhay as Ganguli, Chattapadhay as Chatarjee, Bondopadhay as Benarjee, MuKhapadhay as Mukharjee, Kha(n) as Khan, and so on. As the British were the ruling race and the Bengali non-working classes were favour-seeking collaborators, wrong pronunciations of Bengali words by the British idiots prevailed in the land of Bengal.

The same thing happened this time again. The British realized the pundit's name 'Aain-oi-Tain' as 'Aain-is-Taain', but pronounced as 'Aainistaain'. The Germans distored the name even further and called him 'Einstein'. That was a serious injustice to one's name. However, they could not change Einstein's Sylheti origin and his love for Hidol. Einstine continued to eat Hidol for rest of his life, although his wife left him for it's smell. As we all know that when bombs based on E=Mc2 were dropped in Japan, Einstein was fishing. Needless to say that he was catching putimachh to make hidol.

To conclude, it has been linguistically proven beyond doubt that Einstein was a Sylheti and his famous Mass-Energy (Maachh-Energy) conversion formula is nothing but his full appreciation of the power of Hidol. This essay with logical interpretation supports the initial claim of Dr. Asitikantha Sarma.

I would like to give Masud, an A+ grade for his research on Einstein. Brilliant.

There must exist some truth about the folklore that Newton was also a Sylheti and there is also a controversy that Newton knew about S(h)idol before Shakespear. The apple fell on his head while he was deeply contemplating new recipes of Hidol.

Masud, do you have any material on that?

Thanks to Shaan for reminding the Shuki preparations. Shaan's list of delicacies may also be augmented by

1. Shidol Jhul..ask Silcharor Maiya for recipe
2. Lota Shutki [Kochur lota, shidol or Loitta, optional kathal bichi]

==================================================================
As I had been thinking about this sylheti business....Some thought, some conclusion is coming to my mind..that would resolve all the superiority/ inferiority complex, paranoia, patronising etc..etc.I will tell you in my NEXT POST unless Masud the THINKER foretells it.

«on: 07/30/03 at 10:23:30 »

Asiti, be serious and read this:

Seriously speaking, Shidol is an indicator of a rich civilization of the antiquity in Bengal. Shidol is not an ordinary shutki. While an ordinary shutki involves the Sun, Shidol involves both the Sun and Earth. Shidol-making is a very skilful job which requires a complex knowledge of Biology (leaving the fish intact but getting its oil and intestine out), Chemistry (processing the fish oil and saturating the earthen container with that oil) and Physics (making the container airtight after the fish intake). In fact the process is more complex than Egyptian mummification technique.

We all credit the ancient Egyptians for their occasional mummification of human bodies. But we failed to realize that the mummification technique invented by the indigenous Bengalis in their food management is still in use. Sadly, this great thing has always been discredited by the all invading forces - Aryans, Arabs, Turks, Pathans, Mughals and Europeans. The Aryans imposed class-division and apartheids and the rest followed them up where Shidol has always been identified as a diet of lower caste people. Interestingly, Shidol survived well in Sylhet and some other regions. Long live Shidol!

:o Yes SIR... I will be serious now. Making Hidol is indeed a fantastic food processing. One day you may find some US company like Pepsi [those companies have already papented BIKANERI BHUJIA, BASMATI rice etc] marketing this item !!!

As I was mentioning earlier about an insight..

"SYLHETI" is a property of a person.

I have been joking around with the possibility of Einstein, Newton etc to be Sylheti...with the intention of drawing forth your attention and focus to the intellect of those personalities.

There are so many Sylhetis contributing to the subcontinent and the world as a whole in different aspects. Each of them were and are blessed with the property of contributing toward society, toward humanism. They never thought or think, whether the society is comprised of Silcharites/ Shillongites/ Punjabis or Bengalis, Hindus or Muslims or Christians etc.

I have a Malayali friend [for last 23 years] who encouraged me to continue with my MSc, and I am what I am today because of him. We all called him Keralian Sylheti.[ He also picked up Sylheti to some extent.]

To me, any one who is contributing to soceity, encouraging another person, working hard to bring out or tap the potentials of himself and others, who has broken the shell of lesser ego to feel free in the vast ocean of humanity overcoming the barrier of native place, language, caste, religion or nationality, is a Sylheti.

Masud bhai I agree with you with 110% when you say that Shidol was a great invention, perheaps even greater then the egyptian mumification technique as you say.

But I would like to put forward certain facts that seem relevent to our discussion on the origin of hidol.

1. The Nagas and arunachalis use a similar process to preserve Bambooshoot. Ofcourse instead of earthenware pots they use airtight bamboo containers and they do not use oil.

2. Some naga tribes, the meitei manipuris some mayanmeris tribes and the thais use bamboo containers to preserve fish, often chilli powder is added to aid the preservation. (The manipuris also use a particular kind of elongated earthenware kolshi for the purpose.) The fish so preserved is called HIDAK by some of the Manipuris and Kukis.

Also it apears that intermingling between Manipuris and the Bengalis of east bengal particularly the sylhetis dates back to quite a few centuries.

Given the above facts (though they are not anything conclusive, only indicative), I guess we just might have to conceed to a joint ancestry of Hidol.

You seem to have over looked the fact that I used the phrases "believed to have" and "suposed to". Point no 1 and point no 2 are really nothing but popular beliefs among shidol lovers. They may be true or may not be, the question is open to scrutiny by Great minds like yours. ;D

It appears from Taarcheera's post that he is worried about the increasing population of hidol/shidol eating Bengalees ;D.If the patients are made to eat oily and spicy hidol preparation,then the population will be on the decrease,very soon.Who will write in silchar.com then?? :'(.
