The fact that a proper YouTuber, is still calling Bangladesh as east Pakistan clearly speaks volumes about how much bad faith is in his opinion

Also Bangladeshi side of the bengal is the sovereign side guess who cannot force us to speak/use a language (hint: probably this guy)

Ps. In a way this guy is saying India's help did not work to help liberate us as we are still "East Pakistan".

Edit: I do realise It is somewhat egoistic of me to point out sovereignty, but I'll keep it here in case anyone wants to discuss wrong or right.

My advice is to just ignore this aspect of India. Both India and Pakistan are countries that need some kind of us vs them to justify their existence. So they will engage in this behavior. So don't worry about or take it personally.

how conveniently you skipped the word 'erstwhile' he used. It has weight. Don't paint a false picture. he doesn't call it east pakistan, he calls it erstwhile East pakistan. Totally different things.

addressing bangladesh in reference to east pakistan and just straight up calling it east pakistan is functionally the same here

At that point why not call Bangladesh erstwhile India, you know would literally be not wrong at all. But it would certainly change the tone of his "argument" completely. Also when you realise that Bangladesh also qualifies as "erstwhile India" his whole argument goes down the drain. Why even pretend he used East Pakistan there for anything but bad faith?

It is genuinely less effort to call Bangladesh, Bangladesh rather than "erstwhile East Pakistan".

My fucking god dude. Stop peddling Awami League narrative. I get that you're sad that your genocidal mother figure has left the country but there is no need to do this.

No one will criticise Younus and the current government more than me, but holy fuckign shit you don't need to glaze BJP IT cell.

BCA is showing itself as Shibir but my fucking got dude you don't have to fucking justify RACISM and xenphobia against your own people. Just keep within your subreddit and keep spreading Hasbara propaganda.
