the past is indeed the past. regardless of what the modern literate and illiterate voice of pakistan recounted to the traveller, we need to move on to a new direction. that direction is not closer cooperation to form an islamic republic, but more to appreciate our differences and start to understand them a little better. the cultural and geographical differences between pakistan and bangladesh is simply too wide. the synthetic attempts made to crush these differences led to the language movements and eventually, the war of independence. we, the present day bangladeshis at home and abroad are the cultural descendents of the remarkable 19th century bengali renaissance. our cultural icons are tagore, nazrul and jasimuddin, not iqbal, jinnah and maududi. we have inherited a great tradition of language and arts that predates pakistan and is far richer in its complexity than the cultural heritage of any other parts of the entire indian subcontinent. our literary tradition is peerless. we are the artists of the indian subcontinents. let us make as much effort to keep away from the mullahs and preserve our rich heritage!
