Just because the world functions in English does not mean that it should be a universal requirement for the smarts and the quirks. 48 years, statistically, is a very small timeframe (sample size too) to assess the contribution of language and symbols in a culture, politics, and country. What does language, a symbol, truly mean? I think we can never go anywhere if we disagree that language does not define us. I am no linguist and I am no expert, but I do not back down from learning to speak Bangla properly every day.
