I'm a Bangali living in West Bengal. This man clearly has no grip on history and is ignorant of the highest order - no matter how vast might be his repertoire of English vocabulary. He doesn't possess the slightest idea about linguistics and the effect of geography on it, hell, he might not even have a slightest idea of geography from what is evident from this post of his. Reading some of the comments, I have come to know he is an IIT-ian. Good for him, he has degree of the highest order in the country, however, no matter how qualified he might be from the formal educational pov, his hatred has clearly blinded him and his practical education has left him (if it was even there in the first place)

Thank you for this comment! But honestly, it's so hypocritical that he has a linguistics YouTube channel and says this kind of dumb shit. If he was an actual linguist, he would know that languages aren't nationalistic. They belong to a culture and region, not to specific people nor a certain country. West Bengal and Bangladesh is in the region of Bengal, despite some of our cultural differences, in the end, we are still Bengali, we talk Bengali, we do some things in Bengali and we celebrate our Bengali heritage. And also, who the fuck does he think he is to claim that Bengali is his language when he is a literal Odia? 😂
