“Proper” Bangla
It is true that we Bangladeshis are the only nation in the world who sacrificed their lives for our mother language, which is Bangla. After long 56 years, what we have achieved is a question to many including myself as far as speaking Bangla is concerned. Majority of Bangladeshis hardly speak Bangla in their daily life. What we all speak is some sort of distorted Bangla in local (Ancholik) accent.
One can understand it when someone is at home with the family members using the local language, but I do not understand why the top politicians, the teachers, the economists and the journalists and high government officials fail to speak “shuddho Bangla/proper Bangla”. This is evident when we watch the talk shows on TV and watch interviews, 98% of the participants talk in their local accent. Which at times is not understandable.
It is not very difficult to speak proper Bangla. Proper Bangla is a very sweet/flowery language and sounds very nice.
Will the TV authorities concerned pay some attention, when they take interviews or arrange talk shows, to make sure that the entire conversation takes place in proper Bangla.
