Summary: Change in names of places or change in spelling?

Organization: AT&T

While on this topic let me point out that the name of Dhaka was
not changed. Only the manner in which the name is spelt in English
was changed to reflect the correct Bengali pronunciation of the
name.

> Old name		New name
> Dacca			Dhaka

Likewise, in India spellings of names of places were changed as well.
Cawnpore -> Kanpur
Howrah -> Haora
Poona -> Pune
[The Brits had found spellings like Kanpur too difficult to handle and
had been forced to spell as Cawnpore! ;-) ]

The following is an example of a name change:
> 	 Old names		New names (like translated)
> 	Kalirbazar			Fatimanagar

Of course some changes which were made in 1971 did not stick!

1971: Indira Road -> Tikka Khan Road (or something like that).
1972: Tikka Khan Road (or whatever) -> Indira Road.

The Pakistanis thought the road had been named after Mrs. Gandhi so
they wanted to wipe out the name. I am told it was in fact named after
a famous (don't know what she was famous for) Bengali lady.

Then there is the example below:
March 1971: Jinnah Avenue -> Bangobondhu Avene
March 26, 1971: Bangobondhu Avenue -> Jinnah Avenue
December 17, 1971: Jinnah Avenue -> Bangobondhu Avenue

Other changes:
Ayub Gate -> Asad Gate
Pak Motors -> Bangla Motors [non-Bangladeshi readers: this is a famous
street junction - not the name of an auto dealership!]

In Scotland they changed the name of the street on which the South
African consulate was located to Nelson Mandela Avenue. This was in
the heydays of apartheid rule when Mandela was still serving his 
life term prison sentence. It would have been interesting if the
US consulate in Calcutta had been on Ho Chi Minh Sarani!

In Bangladesh, Sylhet still remains Sylhet. Isn't that the simplified
[by the Brits of course] form of Srihotto? There is a tea estate
called Laccatoora whose name in written in Bengali sounds more like
"LokkhoTura". Chottogram still remains Chittagong.

Shubhechhante,
Wasif

You insist that people reply to your articles, but when they do, you
ignore them because you "don't care" and don't want to "bother about
silly points."  You keep repeating that you don't care whether
Muhammed (pbuh) was a prophet, and yet you insist that you're a
Muslim.  You are free to have whatever beliefs you want.  But don't
expect a universal vote of approval from Muslims if you do not
subscribe to one of the most fundamental pillars of Islam.

How many times do you expect people to repeat the same thing?  You
claim to follow all of Muhammed's (pbuh) teachings, and yet you don't
believe he was necessarily a prophet.  Then why do you follow his
teachings?  You will argue that you had all these values even before
you found out about Muhammed (pbuh).  But then where did you get these
values from?  How do you *know* they are approved of by God if they
did not come from a prophet?

As you see, your comments do not make any sense to me.  Simply put,
that is why I don't respond.  I suspect others suffer from the same
fate.  You cannot expect people to respond, defend or flame something
which is simply incromprehensible.  There are some very simple pillars
of Islam, some very clear verses in the Qur'an, which answer all your
questions.  They have already been pointed out to you, but you ignore
them, choosing instead to pose the same questions again, in even less
comprehensible format.

Keep this up, and even the few responses you do get will probably
disappear...

Statistics can be very misleading.  The figures above do not
necessarily mean that that many Hindus left Bangladesh in that time
frame.  Other factors that have to be taken into account are birth
rates among Muslims and Hindus, influx of *Muslims* from India and other
places, as well as general census accuracy.  Only then would we have a
more complete picture.

The biggest drop in figures since '51 appears to have been between '61
and '74.  Given the millions of refugees who fled to India during the
'71 genocide, it is likely that many of the Hindu refugees
decided to stay in India.  After all, Hindus were a prime target of
the brutal Pakistani forces.  Hence, the big drop from '61 to '74 may
be at least partially attributed to the '71 exodus.

To this SHAKIL writes

Neither.  You're totally missing the point.  The dreaded context
problem once more...  What I said is that a religion which attempts to
encompass all other religions leads to inevitable paradoxes, and if
you would care to quote my whole article, you will find an example I
present which clearly shows this.  Islam does not encompass all other
religions and state that all are true.  Quite to the contrary.  Any
attempt to take on a religious standpoint that all religions are
"true" leads to inevitable paradoxes.  That is what I meant.

-- Shakil

GUPTA>

I disagree with SHAKIL completely. I use RAMKRISHNA's
explanation on this topic. He is supposed to have reached
GOD (I don't know what it means, not the topic here). He practised
all religions and found that all of them lead to the same and
the only GOD. It is just like the rivers that originate in
different places and take different paths and reanh the same ocean.

This theory takes care of allreligion. It is a all encompassing
theory. 

What do you say? Don't ignore it?

If I remember correctly, the renaming of Harrington Street took place 
in the thick of the Vietnam war and West Bengal had a Congress govt. at
that time.

What really took place during the Left Front's tenure was the erection of
a bust of Ho Chi Minh at the junction of Ho Chi Minh Sarani & Jawaharlal

Thats ironic to the extent of being steel-headed?

Weren't Sheikh Mujib and BDesh opposing a similar diktat

Forget your identity. Be Pakistanis.

Wasn't intended imposition of Urdu a part of the same diktat
and BDeshi opposition to it the attempt to preserve their

 Sylhet is simplified from  Shil Hot. There is a myth is in Sylhet that
 when Hazrat Shahjalal (R) came to Sylhet, he faced opposition from  King
 Gourgabinda, Whose first line defense was big rocks (boulders) in the banks
 of River Surma. Hazrat Shahjalal (R) commanded the boulders to move "Shil"
 (boulders) "Hot" (move).

 In Sylhet, Laccatoora is called Lakkortola. Though its written form in
 Bengali sounds like Lakkatura.

		Name changes in Bangladesh

  There is some discussion in s.c.i. about name changes. Just curious to
know about any major changes to names of places in Bangladesh since 
Partition.
  From what I could make out, there seem to have been much less changes to
placenames in Bangladesh compared to India and Pakistan. On comparing a
railway timetable of 1942 with a current one, I found these:

Old name		New name

Dacca			Dhaka
Singhjani		Jamalpur Town
Kamalasagar		Quasba

  I suppose this is not comprehensive, as it only covers places on the railway.
I hope that readers can furnish a few more examples. For instance, have
"colonial" names like Cox's Bazar been changed yet?

	----------------------------------------------

	Here are some more before you get into Mymensingh by train:

	 Old names		New names (like translated)

	Ramamritagonj			Aolianagaor
	Kalirbazar			Fatimanagar

I missed the initial part of this discussion.
Why is US interested in giving Bangladesh millitary aid.
Pakistan got the millitary aid for being the front line
country against Soviet Union in the 80's.
Will Bangladesh be used against India?
Is it a less expensive alternative to Phillipines?
Is it going to be a base for repid deployment force to
take care of mideast?
I hope the leaders have enough sense to say no.

Yes, the news is shocking indeed. I have also heard about the news
from another source. It is shameful for the government, if it cannot
prevent such activities agaist their minorities.

Yes, Quadianis are Ahmadis. Infact the correct name is Ahmadi Muslims.
The founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam was from Qadian, and
so its followers are called Qadians. It's not the proper name.
