Del cops are right, there's no language called Bengali: Malviya
Kolkata: There is no language called 'Bengali', said BJP's Bengal minder Amit Malviya on Monday. Leading Bengal BJP's efforts to defend Delhi Police 's choice of words in its notice seeking translators for "Bangladeshi national language", Malviya posted on X, "Bengali denotes ethnicity, not linguistic uniformity," adding, "There is, in fact, no language called 'Bengali' that neatly covers all these variants. " Criticising Trinamool for "inciting linguistic conflict", Malviya wrote: "Delhi Police is absolutely right in referring to the language as Bangladeshi in the context of identifying infiltrators. The term is being used to describe a set of dialects, syntax, and speech patterns that are distinctly different from the Bangla spoken in India. The official language of Bangladesh is not only phonologically different but also includes dialects like Sylheti that are nearly incomprehensible to Indian Bengalis. " "So, when the Delhi Police uses 'Bangladeshi language', it is a shorthand for the linguistic markers used to profile illegal immigrants from Bangladesh — not a commentary on Bengali as spoken in West Bengal," he added.

The iconic 'Vande Mataram' was composed separately in Sanskrit and later incorporated into the novel. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 22 Illustrations of a Husband and Wife in Everyday Life Watch More Undo 'Jana Gana Mana', originally composed and sung as a Brahmo hymn, was written in Sanskritised Bangla," posted the BJP neta. Malviya went on to add: "Mamata Banerjee's reaction to Delhi Police referring to the language used by infiltrators as 'Bangladeshi' is not just misplaced, it is dangerously inflammatory. Nowhere in the Delhi Police letter is Bangla or Bengali described as a 'Bangladeshi' language. To claim otherwise and call upon Bengalis to rise against the Centre is deeply irresponsible. Mamata Banerjee should be held accountable — perhaps even under the National Security Act — for inciting linguistic conflict. " Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya had said on Sunday that there was nothing wrong with the choice of words. "If you pick up a book written by Subodh Sarkar and another by Shafikul Islam of Bangladesh, you will get to know the difference instantly. Speaking in Bangla is no qualification for being a citizen of India or a bona fide voter."
