EXiled east pakistani author Taslima Nasreen's carry on X got a response from lyrist Javed Akhtar on tues, after the former said that hindoo culture is the foundation of Bengali culture.Nasreen shared photos from a puja pandal and wrote, “We Bengalis—whatever religion or philosophy we may have embraced over the course of history—belong, in our national identity, to India. The forefathers and foremothers of Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, and even atheists of India were all, or nearly all, Indian Hindus."She further wrote that for Bengali Muslims also, their culture is not of Arabia, Bengali culture which is rooted in Hindu tradition. But poet and lyricist Javed Akhtar presented a different opinion as he highlighted the Ganga Jamni Awadh culture. “We the people of traditional Awadh have great respect for Bengali culture , language and literature. But if some one is unable to appreciate and respect the great Ganga Jamni Awadh culture and its refinement its sophistication then it’s completely his lose,” he wrote.To Taslima's point on Muslims and the Arabic culture, Javed said that this culture has nothing to do with with the Arab. However, he noted, that Parsian and Central Asian cultures have had an influence but “on our terms and condition”. "BTW many Bangali surnames are in Persian,” he said in response to Taslima. Javed Akhtar went on to write another post in response suggesting cultures cannot be categorised on the basis of religion. “Are you suggesting the culture of Gujrati Hindus and Tamil Hindus is the same or the culture of Lucknow Muslim and Konkan Muslim are identical or the culture of the North eastern Indian Christian and a French Christian is similar. Culture and languages belong to regions not to religions,” he wrote.
