What can we do to revert this trend?

You are absolutely right! Bangla has taken a backseat to Bollywood/Hollywood, Hindi/English. But what about Arabic/Arab culture?
"As-Salaam-Alaikum"
"Wa-Alaikum-Salaam"
"Masha'Allah"
"Subhanallah"
"Alhamdulillah"
I've heard and used these phrases so much growing up that I actually believed this was Bengali. But I checked and checked, and lo and behold, these are not Bengali phrases and words, but simply Arabic.
So will you consider reversing this trend?
