Amit Malviya is correct that Sylheti is not the same as Bengali. But what he and his team seem to lack is any sense of the history beyond that statement.
Assam govt Tuesday announced 'indigenous' status for Goriya, Moriya, Deshi, Julah & Syed communities. Opposition accuses BJP of sowing division between Assamese & Bengali-speaking Muslims.
Bengal, Kerala, Assam — each key state election has a serious ‘Muslim party’ in fray. A lot of young voters are drawn to them, but others are sticking with tried-and-tested ‘secular’ parties.
The Commission said that many organisations have expressed concern that it is a "targeted mechanism to disenfranchise Assam's Bengali Muslim community".

Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.
The piece is highly disappointing. In a modern age when intellect is what is celebrated, it is unfortunate that the writer has chosen to delve into issues of caste while writing a piece on how a particular language is spoken by people at different places. The “sadhu bhasha” (chaste language) brought in formal grammar and structure, as we understand it today, to a language which always had innumerable dialects. The “sadhu bhasha” exists for the same purpose that the Queen’s English does. That said, the “sadhu bhasha” used today is not the same as that employed by the great Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, for example, whose ‘Vande Mataram’ is the National Song of India.
