I think another good poll would be to see how many of us actually know the Complete National Anthem of Bangladesh. The reason I am saying is because I am almost certain that 70% of the students studying in English medium school will not know all the wordings of our national anthem.

^^ Not quite true. We had to sing national anthem everyday in the assembly. Same way as any Bangla medium school.

What other letter disappeared from our alphabet?

So far we have had ঌ, ঢ়, ৰ (অন্তস্তঃ-ব)। Can anyone add to the list? The following symbols are no longer seen, I believe: ঽ,৲,৴,৵,৶,৸,৺,ৠ,ৡ।
Other letters that might disappear include ৎ,ঞ,ঙ্ক,ঞ্ছ,ণ।

Although I last had to sing it 32 years ago, I can proudly say that I can sing the entire national anthem fluently.
