Tears of bengali

 

The old man Lavani told Agudumba the historical background story of Bangladesh. It turns out that the history of Bangladesh is written with tears.

In Chinese classics, Bangladesh is named "Panqi Kingdom" in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty". In fact, Bangladesh has been inhabited by humans at least 20,000 years ago, and the Bronze Civilization appeared about 4,000 years ago. Many archaeological excavations in Bangladesh have revealed evidence of the northern black polished ceramic culture of the Indian subcontinent. This was an Iron Age culture that began around 700 BC and reached its peak between 500 and 300 BC. But the early history of Bengal was characterized by successive Indian empires, internal strife and battles for Hindu and Buddhist dominance. The history of Bangladesh is full of tears.

The exact origin of the word "Bangla" in ancient times is unknown, but it is generally believed that it was settled in this area by a tribe named "Bang" (Bang or Banga) around 1000 BC. of. According to the records of the Mahabharata, the ancient state of Bangladesh was divided into several tribes and kingdoms. Jain scriptures show that the Venga Kingdom and Anga Kingdom of Bangladesh were both countries established by the Indo-Aryans. By the fifth to sixth centuries BC, Aryan culture had spread eastward from the Indus Valley and became the dominant culture in much of northern India.

The formation of the ancient state of Bangladesh was a long and complex historical process. The causes and processes of its formation were caused by many factors. From an archaeological point of view, humans have lived in Bangladesh for more than 20,000 years. Sedentary life began as early as four thousand years ago during the Bronze Civilization Period.

Many archaeological finds have revealed that the northern black polished ceramic culture of the Indian subcontinent had begun to emerge during this period and reached its peak during the Iron Age cultural period.

The political structure of the ancient Bangladesh state was relatively complex, and there were many political forms. Because Bangladesh is close to the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Bangladesh, it has unique advantages in trade and transportation. At the same time, this has also led to Bangladesh being repeatedly invaded and ruled by foreign countries in its history.

Around the fourth century BC, the Indian Virama dynasty began to enter the Bangladesh region and established its own ruling regime. The Gupta Empire incorporated Bangladesh into its territory. After that, Bangladesh was ruled by Indian dynasties such as the Maurya Dynasty and the Maktepur Dynasty.

Many dynasties emerged in the history of ancient Bangladesh, including the Punio, Maktepur, Bakhtiar, Viseroi and other dynasties. These dynasties had great influence on Bangladesh in various aspects such as politics, culture and society. It has had a profound impact on the country's history and development.

The rise of the earliest Punio dynasty was similar to the culture of the northern Indian subcontinent, and it had great economic and cultural development. However, the Punio dynasty also began to decline, accompanied by the rise of the Maktepur dynasty later.

The Maktepur dynasty was one of the most important dynasties of the Bangladesh state. This period was the period of Indianization of the Bangladesh state, and Hindu culture and language became widely spread.

The dynasty also actively participated in the political and cultural activities of the Indian continent at that time, making the Bangladesh state one of the centers of civilization at that time. However, political corruption and economic decline in the dynasty led to the collapse of the dynasty.

Next, the Bakhtiar dynasty began to rise. It was one of the most important dynasties in the history of Bangladesh. The dynasty made great achievements in politics, military and culture, and expanded itself in the northern part of the Indian continent. sphere of influence.

The Viseroi dynasty was also an important dynasty in the history of Bangladesh. The dynasty focused on cultural construction and was committed to the development of Buddhist and Hindu education, especially in literature. It made remarkable achievements.

The rule of the Veseroy dynasty was not stable. The dynasty faced many challenges and internal conflicts, and finally came to its demise due to external invasions and internal divisions.

At the end of the sixth century AD, the Gupta Empire's vassal Shasuka took advantage of the decline of the dynasty to establish the Kingdom of Gauda in Bangladesh. He competed with the famous King Harsha for supremacy, but was ultimately defeated.

After hundreds of years of chaos, Polo established the Polo dynasty in 750. The Polo kings were devout believers in Buddhism, promoted Buddhism, and even encouraged the promotion of Buddhism and culture to the outside world.

The nearly four centuries of rule of the Pala dynasty is considered the golden age in the history of Bangladesh. In addition to Tibet, the Pala Dynasty also introduced Mahayana Buddhism to Bhutan and Myanmar. At the same time, the identity of the Bangladeshi nation began to take shape, and the national language of Bangladesh also developed as an independent language.

Islam began to spread to Bangladesh in the 12th century with the arrival of Sufi missionaries.

In the 13th and 14th centuries, Bangladesh nominally belonged to the Delhi Sultanate, but the generals or governors sent to Bangladesh often relied on their own troops because they were far away from the Sudan. As a result, the Governor-General of Bangladesh declared independence and proclaimed himself the "Sultan of Bangladesh".

Bengal experienced a cultural renaissance during the reign of Sultan Alauddin Hussain Shah from 1494 to 1538. Therefore, Alauddin Hussain Shah is considered the greatest Sultan of Bangladesh.

The Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive in Bangladesh. They came here in the late 15th century. Many people do not know that by the 16th century, Bangladesh had developed into the most densely populated, economically developed and culturally prosperous region on the subcontinent.

In 1717, the Mughal governor-general of Bengal, Mulshil Quli Khan, declared independence. Later, with the arrival of Muslim and Portuguese soldiers, the Bengal State gradually developed into a Muslim Empire, and the Bengal Empire was established in the 17th century.

The Nawab of Bengal was the hereditary ruler of Suba, the Mughal state of Bengal in India. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Nawab of Bangladesh was the de facto independent ruler of the three regions of Bangladesh, Bihar and Orissa, which constituted the modern sovereign states of Bangladesh and India. West Bengal, Bihar and Odisha. They are popularly known as the Nawabs of Bangladesh, Bihar and Orissa. The Nawab family was based in Murshidabad, centrally located in Bangladesh, Bihar and Odisha. Their leader, a former Prime Minister, became the first Nawab. The Nawab continued to issue coins in the name of the Mughal emperor, but for all practical purposes the Nawab governed as an independent monarch. Bangladesh continues to contribute the lion's share of funds to the royal treasury in Delhi. The Nawabs, with the support of bankers such as Jagat Seth, became the financial backbone of the Mughal court. In the 18th century, the Nawabs of Bangladesh were among the richest rulers in the world.

In the mid-18th century, Bangladeshis were in tears. The Bangladesh region became the center of British colonial rule in India. In the second half of the 19th century, Bangladesh became a province of British India.

In 1904, the Bangladesh region was divided into eastern and western parts by the British colonial government, and was later reunited. In 1947, India and Pakistan were partitioned, and the Bangladesh region was divided into east and west parts, with the west belonging to India and the east belonging to Pakistan. In March 1971, East Pakistan declared independence. Bangladesh achieved independence from Pakistan. In January 1972, the People's Republic of Bangladesh was formally established.

Bangladeshis have lost their status as the world's richest rulers and their land size has shrunk massively. Today's Bangladesh is a country in South Asia. Only the eastern part of the Bangladesh region is located north of the Gulf of Bangladesh. A small part of the southeastern mountainous area is adjacent to Myanmar, and the rest of the country borders India. Most of the country is the alluvial plain of the Jamuna River, and the sea area in the Gulf of Bangladesh is roughly equal to the land area.

Bangladesh has a population of approximately 161.08 million people. Due to its large population base, Bangladesh's population is still likely to increase to 230 million to 280 million around 2035.

The vast majority of the residents of Bangladesh are Bangladeshis, descendants of a branch of the Indo-Aryan people. They drove the native Dravidians into the jungles of the delta. Bangladeshis generally have wider foreheads, darker eye sockets, light-dark skin color, and medium build. They belong to the Europa race. The Dravidians of Bangladesh originated from the Deccan Plateau and account for about 12% of the population. Bangladesh also has some indigenous tribal people, who mainly live in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

The common and official language of Bangladesh is Bangladeshi national language. English also occupies an important position in Bangladesh and is widely used.

The national flower of Bangladesh is the white water lily. The national animal is the national tiger of Bangladesh.

Old Lavani said to Agudengba:

As a Bangladeshi, I can only tell you the history of Bangladesh with tears. The Bangladesh of the past will never come back.

Old Lavani sang a Bengali song "Tears of Bangladesh":

Descendants of the Aryans

Belonging to the Europa race

I ride the mythical white tiger

Looking at the white water lilies

I can't stop my tears

The Iron Age reaches its peak

But suffered repeated foreign invasions

After the rise of the Polo dynasty

Bengali nation formation

By the sixteenth century

Waiting for Dongba to declare independence

Bangladesh’s tears have dried

  1. Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fables makes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
