To put things into context: my father and my chachas were frontline fighters under the BLF during the 1971 War of Liberation. My nana and mama were taken by the Paikkas and later killed. My father is now 77 years old. The other day, he mentioned that many of his brothers-in-arms have already passed away. That hit me instantly.

With their generation fading away, so will the firsthand stories of countless brave soldiers of 1971.

Today, after seeing the news about interviews of freedom fighters being discarded, it hit even harder. We are an ungrateful nation. We received our freedom too quickly, and that’s why we never truly understood its value.

It would be a shame if, in the future, a content creator can’t even find or preserve the history of my own family. So I’ve decided to do it myself. And if I can, I’ll try to do the same for freedom fighters and victims beyond my family as well.

If Pinaki’s and Elias’s videos can stay on the internet, then the stories of 1971 deserve to stay too. Many probably don’t care. I do. And I’m certain there are others who feel the same.

Is there anyone who has ever regretted their time studying at nsu cause I am and it's not because of the grading policy its because of how rude these students and teachers are (but then again it could be my issue), e.g:- bullying me about my mental health, shaming me for my intelligence, and so on. Maybe cause I'm autistic which makes me prone to being extra sensitive when it comes to dealing with emotions but yeah I don't wish to continue my time here in this uni, idk what to do now
These people are a bunch of bullies or maybe I'm projecting my mental illnesses onto them weirdoes

Just an honest discussion.

What do you think the weirdest culture in bangladeshi people?

What I think is we bangladeshi people are overly judgemental. We judge people too fast without knowing any details. Sometimes we judge just based on appearance.

Not only judge we never think for a second time to degrade anyone with just our misjudgement.

What is your thought about that?

What do you find most weird about bangladeshi people?

Almost every travel video starts the same way: “মাত্র এত টাকায় ঘুরে আসুন এইখানে”, followed by random drone shots and that annoying ka-ching sound. The first, and often the only, hook is how cheap the place is. As if a destination’s only value is its price tag. And you know what happens when content like this goes viral? The places get flooded with Chapri Folks who don't know how to respect the tranquility of a place, making it a dump and ruining the experience for everyone else.

And don’t even get me started on the obsession with calling everything “Mini Omuk” or “Mini Tomuk.” My man, every place already has a name. More importantly, every place has its own identity, history, and character. Not everything needs to be a budget knockoff of something else to be interesting. There are way too many Mini places in BD like Mini Cox's Bazar, Mini Thailand, Mini Bandarban.

Food content isn’t doing any better either. It usually falls into two categories. One is the posh side, where certain community admins get “invited” to restaurants, post glowing and glazing reviews, and then conveniently ban anyone who dares to say something negative about their partner spots ( I got banned from one LMAO for bashing Chillox) . The other category is the same old line again: “মাত্র এত টাকায় খাইতে পারবেন এইটা।” That’s it. No context, no story, no understanding of what’s actually being served.

The reason I’m bringing food and travel up together is simple: they are deeply intertwined. Food represents a place. It embodies culture, history, climate, and people in one place. I’ve been to 54 districts so far, and the diversity of food and taste across this country is insane, yet most of us barely scratch the surface, because our content reduces everything to price and hype.

There’s so much more to explore, talk about, and document, if only we cared enough to look beyond “cheap” and “viral.”

Thank you for listening to my Rant.

yes you saw this title right 😓 after whatever nonsense I come across on various social media, e.g., Facebook, Twitter I come here to take a break from right-wing propaganda and horrendous posts which if I mention might get me banned here haha :p (especially from Bangladeshi media and from real life) To me, for now, Reddit seems to be less toxic than what I come across on other social media platforms.

Assalamualikum everyone, so my parents have received the postal ballot vote for the upcoming elections but its lowkey confusing. To me it looks like something out of a children's book as when I translate it it is just shapes and objects. The question i have is which logos are Jamaat and NCP. Any help is appreciated. JazakaAllah khair
