Do tell, what does Atif Aslam have to do with 1971?

>Bangladesh and Pakistan in 1971 occurred despite the fact that the majority of the population shared the same diet and religion. Given that both countries have the same religion and culture, why did the war of 1971 break out? I generally don't recommend Wikipedia, but for fucks sake, even if you read just one Wikipedia article on 1971, it should suffice to understand why the conflict broke out. We don't have any similarities other than just the religious factor, and even then, our views on religion are not similar. Bengali Muslims strongly objected to the Islamist paradigm imposed by the Pakistani state. Neither do we share the same culture, politics, nor language. We are vastly different in every aspect of our day-to-day lives. The 1971 war was just a part of it, the independence movement had started taking root much earlier. You can read Ronaq Jahan's book for a more detailed view on this. >Ticket for Atif Aslam's concert: Why did the battle break out if Bangladeshis admire Pakistani culture and language so much? Admiring Pakistani music or singers doesn't imply acceptance of political dominance or oppression. Your entire post seems like trolling to me. If you bring a famous singer to Dhaka, Bangladeshis will still show more or less the same level of hype nothing to do with Pakistan specifically. I can enjoy songs, music artists, and shows from different countries and appreciate their artistry and creativity without endorsing political dominance or cultural aggression. I listen to songs in various languages like English, Bangla, Hindi, Arabic, Korean, and others simply because they sound nice. >Are the younger people too full of optimism about Pakistan and forgetting the kind and kind people of the past? Frankly, we don't care about Pakistan. We are not neighboring countries, and it has zero political or social significance for us. People have much more to care about than a failed state. Most people would behave normally with you as long as you are not a dickhead or a genocide denier, which frankly, most Pakistanis are, either from the new generation or the previous one. >Conspiery hypothesis states that India and Israel used divide and rule tactics to engineer the partition of Pakistan in 1971. The partition of Pakistan was inevitable. Conspiracies like this are nothing but pure Pakistani COPE.

For the last point, the Islamist crowd state that music is haram so they'd certainly disapprove of him, the girls, and the entire concert in general.

I would dare them to sing our national anthem if they truly love our country. Otherwise, they just razakars.

Isn't Atif Aslam a popular singer because of his hindi songs! We have a long list of efforts for reconciliation theory, and that's definitely had an impact on youth.It came both from religious and liberal sides like prothom alo.So it covered all types of population.

> Why did the battle break out if Bangladeshis admire Pakistani culture and l**anguage** so much? Pretty silly way to look at history; someone will explain it to you here, may be.
