My partner and I are looking for a clean, comfortable hotel within Sylhet city for a private stay. It's important that the place is not shady and that staff are discreet and professional at check-in, without any awkwardness or judgment. The budget is around 3k to 4k. Any honest recommendations would be really appreciated.

Assalamualaikum everyone, I have some savings in my pocket which I want to invest completely on a good piece of land. But I am unsure about the prices around 1-2 kilometre from Tilagarh area as I was born and raised in that area, it is difficult for me to leave that place and be somewhere far away. The amount of money is not humongous but enough for 3-4 decimal land and that is 25 lac. My question is:

1.Where in Sylhet I can buy some land where the future return would be high. For example: if I rent it out.

2. Which specific place in the upcoming years would be skyhigh valuable but just under the budget now.

3.Which place has a probability of becoming a booming economic zone.

My plans are for future not now.

India’s Bangladesh problem starts in Assam, not Delhi.
Can a state chief minister influence foreign policy without actually controlling it?
My latest piece looks at how Assam’s politics around migration and the Bangladesh border can create diplomatic consequences for New Delhi — and what that reveals about the limits of India’s federal system.
Would be interested to hear how people in Assam, Bangladesh and the wider Northeast see this.

Inside sylhet city, which hotel is the most expensive and will give quality? Just to experience the poshness yk what I mean…

Looking for restaurants in Sylhet that have a decent amount of privacy for couples. Somewhere where my girlfriend and I can sit privately and make out without bothering anyone. Any recommendations?

A lot of people like to judge or laugh at how young people from Sylhet, Chittagong and other peripheral regions are increasingly distancing themselves from their "Bengali" identity, often going as far as declaring their language and even ethnicity as completely separate from Bengali (which I don't agree with, to be clear).

One crucial but overlooked reason for that is how the modern definition of "pure Bengali" culture itself fails to be inclusive towards those regionalities. There is a profound (but manufactured) conflict between a Sylheti's own regional language and culture vs his/her identity as a Bengali.

What is today sold to us as "Shuddho" and "Authentic" Bengali culture is actually a recent artificial construct, largely imposed by the 19th-Century Kolkata "Bhodroloks" and today's Dhaka-centric upper class. Their notion of "proper" Bengaliness is highly restrictive and thus incapable of accepting regional diversity as the norm.

To a young, educated Sylheti or Chatgaiya growing up internalising this idea (through education and media exposure), they often find that their own regional language and culture is "improper" and incompatible with the mainstream definition of "Bengali" culture and identity.

They find that, in order to be fully accepted as a "pure" Bengali and acheive social mobility, they have to heavily water down and trivialise their own regional cultures and languages, often to the point of turning them into worthless labels.

With all of this, is it really surprising if a Sylheti decides to go the other way and distance themself from their Bengali identity entirely? That is understandable (imo) if they value their own culture enough to not water it down just for elite validation and social mobility.

This is all really sad because, in reality, Bengali culture has always been a decentralised mosaic of different dialects and customs. The huge regional variation in language and culture we see are not "flaws" or "anomalies" to be smoothed out or ridiculed, but rather the natural default for centuries.

The notion that there is a single "ideal" and "proper" way to be Bengali is a largely made-up idea from relatively recently.

Thus, whether Sylhetis or Chittaingas are "Bengali" or not isn't just a question of regional autonomy and preservation, but also one of inclusivity and diversity.

(Edit) Reasserting our identity as "Bengali" while still celebrating our distinct regional cultures is the way to fight back against this cultural chauvinism masquerading as a thousand-year-old social norm.

Assalamualaikum!

Me and a friend are starting online tutoring, but not the usual academic stuffs. We will be teaching practical skills instead. We still have 6 months before we graduate and we thought of utilizing this time.

Here is what we will be covering:

Machine Learning

Python

Advanced Excel

Civil Engineering and Architecture essential softwares such as- AutoCAD, ETABS, SAP2000, Civil3D, SketchUp, Revit, GIS

If anyone is into more specialized stuff like simulation or hydrology, we would teach Abaqus, HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS too.

Right now, we are thinking of mainly doing weekly sessions online, and the learning will be mostly project based, so you will actually be building things or running simulations from the scratch instead of just watching tutorials.

If you are interested to learn any of the above mentioned skills just message me and we can talk details.

Thank you very much!!

My lovely friend and colleague who has taught me a bit of Sylheti is leaving her post of ten years to retrain in her dream field. I'm so proud of her and wanted to get her a bracelet with this engraved on the inside as a leaving gift. I can write it in English but I think it would mean more to her in Sylheti. I might put it in both of our languages. Would anyone be kind enough to help me? If there's a more idiomatic way of saying this, please let me know! Thank you

After the Munia m\*\*\*\*r incident, Nagorik TV first brought up the name of Anvir as a khuni, and when it was kind of established that he is the khuni, in one comment someone said, "Anvir ar jodi kisu hoy tahole takar upor theke bisshash uthe jabe" at first I didn’t believe him, I thought he will go to jail for at least one day after a sensational case like this, right?!!!!

Cheers to Anvir! he didn't disappoint that guy and didn't break his belief in money. And after actively following this murder case, somewhere along the line, I'm also a believer now. Money can do wonders in Bangladesh
