Chattogram, Sylhet at war after mother with heritage from both places wins Ms Dhaka award

The internet has been up in arms after a stay-at-home mom decided to show the world who the real champion is. 

Most people have been applauding her boldness and courage for showcasing mom-power to the wider world.

Everything she has done so far has won applause and moms around the country have been rallying around her achievements. They appreciate how much she has done to elevate the image of stay-at-home-mums in the eyes of the world.

The internet however was torn, when her mom-identity was stolen by a certain media house in Sylhet, which claimed that her parenting techniques and her heritage and style were uniquely Sylheti, thus putting Sylhet on the global map.

One of the leading dailies of Sylhet published an article titled "Sylheti Contestant's brainy play-time idea had top judges on the fence, but internet was all praises".

Chattogram-bashis would have none of this. Their news portals immediately picked up on this fatal fault and were quick to claim how she is an actual Chatgaiya and her children are growing up with the wonderful value system only a Chatgaiya could instil.

In a recent episode of MasterMom Dhaka, Mishwar prepared a brainy playtime idea where she let her child play out in the rain and make sandcastles with the dirt outside. Now the judges going by the norm in the country could not quite stomach the idea. They questioned how she would protect her child from the imminent fever and runny nose as all other contestants went the traditional route of covering their and their child's heads with their hands and running for safety.

Netizens rushed to her rescue and defended her saying children must learn to be resilient and this was indeed a fun play-time idea.

Mishwar herself identifies as a Dhaka-born mother of three, with heritage from both Sylhet and Chattogram.
