My FIRST ever tour of Dhaka University🇧🇩

Amazing history

@@carriepatsalis dont act smart! South Indians and North Indians speak such different languages that they are not even from the same Language Family! So therefore, Language was never the Problem in Pakistan as it is made to be today in order to score Political points. Also, Dont act like you're visiting this peaceful democratic Nation. Its a dictatorship wearing the mask of democracy. Freedom of Speech is Zero! Dont Believe me? I dare you to say something Negative about the Ruling Party loudly in front of the very Curzon Hall that you've visited in this Video. Its a One Party State like China where Everything is Govt. Controlled. I suggest you do your little traveling and leave without acting like you know about our Politics. Its giving "government-sponsored" Vibes. Dont embarrass yourself any further.

[@peanutbar8882]

@@carriepatsalis Amazing! Why are you being so political in your little vlogs??? Indians all over speak Hindi and English Officially! Even the South Indians. To put into Perspective, The Hindi Language is Closer to even the Belarussian language linguistically of course than it is to Tamil which is a South Indian Language. When People choose to live in a Multi-Ethnic Country, some things need to be compromised and speaking a Common Language instead of your Mother Tongue is one of them. Something the Bengali people have been trying to do all along in this trip of yours by communicating with you in sh!tty broken English😂 You dont seem to complain about that I see.

They are dedicated and determined to get chance in the university. But University offer limited seat for every years.Our education system is very challenging and our parents also participate in this competition because of social pressure.

[@Shunuacse]

This vlog is amazing! I really like the way you share our culture and history 😊. language was just not the ONLY thing that was imposed on us by the west Pakistan.Beyond language, there were also ideological and cultural differences. The language movement in 1952 initiated the vision of independence among Bangladeshies. Many civilians also died apart from the uni students for the sake of speaking our mother tongue. Unfortunately, we don't have the exact number of the casualties. Dhaka university also played a vital role in our liberation war in 1971. "Modhur canteen" where you've had the tea and sweets was a popular political meeting point for the students. Many national politicians regularly used to met with the students in Modhur Canteen to plan and execute political agendas for the liberation of the Bangladesh. This is the reason the original owner of "modhur canteen" who is known as "modhu da" was killed brutally by the Pakistani army during the liberation war. Although East Pakistan had a larger population, West Pakistan dominated the divided country politically and received more money from the common budget. According to the World Bank, there was much economic discrimination against East Pakistan, including higher government spending on West Pakistan, financial transfers from East to West, and the use of the East's foreign exchange surpluses to finance the West's imports. The discrimination occurred despite the fact that East Pakistan generated a major share of Pakistan's exports. Also, Bengalis were intentionally underrepresented in civil services, army, police and other policy making positions. These all caused unhappiness and anger among the people. The west Pakistani government refused to honour the result of 1970 general election, where awami league (a party that was led by sheikh mujib at that time) got the majority vote. The west Pakistani army started "operation searchlight" on 25th march 1971 to stop the Bengali voice against them. On the 26th march the liberation war started and the victory was achieved on 16 December. This is why 26 march is the independence day of Bangladesh and 16th December is the victory Day of Bangladesh. Next time you visit Bangladesh, I would highly recommend visiting our liberation war museum in Dhaka. And also don't forget to visit the bangabondhu memorial museum in Dhanmondi 32. If you need a more in-depth history, you can also visit bangabondhu military museum.

[@carriepatsalis]

Awesome to read this.. and the museum sounds perfect for me to understand more. It’s a strange old world isn’t it.. as a British person however I know more than anyone how land grabs work.. us Brits were amongst the worst for using and taking..our history in this region of the world is despicable.. so I can’t lay blame on pakistan.. sadly humans appear to do it as standard.

At the end when i saw someone standing and salute to the monument i just couldn’t hold my tears 😢Bangladesh may a small and most densely populated country on earth but it has a lot of cultural significance and history..!!Unfortunately political stability is missing here😢Politicians are trying to defame our country for their own good 😢corruption in every sector😢

[@carriepatsalis]

If you come to visit Bangladesh, then the life of the village people and the environment of the village will fascinate you. If you want to see all this, you will be slow in Bangladesh North Bengal.

Bangla and Urdu both were national languages of Pakistan/ Only 4% people of the then West Pakistan used to speak in Urdu. English was official language. Bangla was never removed from the curriculum. Half the MPs and half the central ministers including three Prime Ministers of Pakistan were Bengalis. Three Bengalis were President of Pakistan.

[@carriepatsalis]

With respect my research did not show this. Perhaps quote your source?

[@mahbubarTalukdar]

@@carriepatsalis Bangla was a compulsory subject for all students in High schools and Intermediate Classes (12th grade) - any person who had gone to school in East Pakistan during 60’s can verify this fact. While researching on line, I would always be careful trusting some Pakistani research on India and Indian research on Pakistan - people making up history to suit their bias is not rare in the sub-continent.

U are such a great vlogger but unfortunately very underrated

[@carriepatsalis]

Thank you! I don’t go for the masses.. I want to appeal to the curious.. and they are never quite as large in numbers.. but by far the most exciting people to be amongst I say.. I love my followers for their interest and contribution to my channel 😍

[@HeySoumik]

I would definitely meet you if I knew you were coming 😢

[@Lifeunscripted2017-l3b]

I never knew Dhaka university was such a big site I will hopefully visit next time when I am in Bangladesh do you need to request to visit or are some campus open to the public

[@carriepatsalis]

It’s a good question.. I have a feeling some of the food Street areas around curzon hall are open to the public but let me check.. I wanted to get inside buildings so obviously needed to be with a student or lecturer.. let me come back to you.. will ask Amrita!

[@carriepatsalis]

So I just heard back from Amrita and she confirmed that you can have a wander in without permission .. also the food stalls around TSC are all open to the public.. a good place to go and meet students!
