Dhaka University was established in 1921 under British regime; oldest university of Bangladesh. I was a student of Dhaka University in 90 decade. Lot of thanks to you revive my memory visiting there.
@@carriepatsalis dont act smart! South Indians and North Indians speak such different languages that they are not even from the same Language Family! So therefore, Language was never the Problem in Pakistan as it is made to be today in order to score Political points. Also, Dont act like you're visiting this peaceful democratic Nation. Its a dictatorship wearing the mask of democracy. Freedom of Speech is Zero! Dont Believe me? I dare you to say something Negative about the Ruling Party loudly in front of the very Curzon Hall that you've visited in this Video. Its a One Party State like China where Everything is Govt. Controlled. I suggest you do your little traveling and leave without acting like you know about our Politics. Its giving "government-sponsored" Vibes. Dont embarrass yourself any further.
@@carriepatsalis Amazing! Why are you being so political in your little vlogs??? Indians all over speak Hindi and English Officially! Even the South Indians. To put into Perspective, The Hindi Language is Closer to even the Belarussian language linguistically of course than it is to Tamil which is a South Indian Language. When People choose to live in a Multi-Ethnic Country, some things need to be compromised and speaking a Common Language instead of your Mother Tongue is one of them. Something the Bengali people have been trying to do all along in this trip of yours by communicating with you in sh!tty broken English😂 You dont seem to complain about that I see.
@@carriepatsalis btw, why do the Scots dont speak their Original Celtic Language anymore and instead speaks a Germanic one? Why do the Welsh and Irish seem to have forgotten their language? Yesh I thought so!
In love with your amateur vlogging style which is not much different to how everyone else is doing it but then the documentary style narration. That's definitely unique and a great way to show Bangladesh.
Good Ma'am, that's what you call an all-inclusive documentary in the form of mesmerizing storytelling. Thanks for visiting Dhaka University where numerous movements started & histories were made. Thanks a bunch for your in-depth exploration. Your vlogs feel so addictive with a whole lot of information. Thanks a million for representing our country in a new light which is truly unique, in a sense, no foreigners ever tried it like the way you are doing it. Have a wonderful stay in Bangladesh and keep your great documentary-like vlogs coming to impress us Bangladeshis & the entire world. We Bangladeshis like you for your warmth, kindness & amazing nature. :)
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! I am really happy you’re enjoying my vlogs! I have a few more lovely areas to showcase before I finish this series.. but I will return for more! I missed loads of areas!
Dhaka University Admission is on 12 May. 225k students applied and there will be about 7000 students will get a chance to study there. I'm also a candidate. Pray for me Carrie 🥲💖
Brilliant. Happy to see you enjoyed visiting Bangladesh. Honestly not many people in the UK knows about our country. But you somehow managed to reach so many of us.
As I always notice, you are so kind! So compassionate! I'm glad that you visited our country and depicted everything with utmost respect and love. We will remember you, so kind to all people, that's what you are.
Both my parents studied at Dhaka University but unfortunately I never got the chance to visit the inside and get a tour of the uni, only heard stories. You portrayed the university and our country's history so beautifully, loved watching this vlog. I hope you had the best time in Bangladesh and I wish you luck for your future endeavours
Thank you so much! The uni is a great start point for a tour of Bangladesh as it sets the scene so well.. I hope you get the chance to go.. it’s a lovely vibe all around 🥰
Carrie... A really incredible documentary indeed!!! You did a better job than the BBC. Very educational and interesting to see as some things I didn't know and was good you visited and covered this topic tactfully. You made me emotional at the end and brought a tear to my eye!!! 😢 Luv ❤
Can't explain in words how wonderfully you've shown the true existence of an institution that helped create the country itself . As a proud Bangladeshi i feel honoured for your kind words. Good luck on your days. Thank you
Thank you for making such a nice video about Dhaka University. I am not an alumnus of this university but my wife studied there. Your videos are not just travel videos...these are kinds of documentaries. I used to watch your videos.
CARRIE I really astonished not to find u at Noboborsho festival last 14th April 2023. As u know Pohela Boisakh is the first month of bangla calendar. We celebrate huge celebration. I missed u ur blog
This was such a great video and we want to thank you for placing such a wonderful into our Bangladesh culture and our beloved Dhaka University. You are absolutely amazing.
Hi Carrie Patsalis I am pleased to see that you are enjoying your stay in Bangladesh. At the moment I am binging on your videos from Nottingham UK. Your videos are getting better and better. I am surprised that you don’t have millions of subscribers by now. You really go deeper than some other you -tubers do. Keep it up.
Thanks so so much! I enjoy making the videos I want to make.. I have been told a million times that if I want to go big I have to churn out simpler videos about simpler things like buying a t-shirt from a market or focus on streetfood.. and I just don’t want to do that! So I will have to suffer lower numbers as a consequence 😁
As a Bangladeshi, now a Brit, after living in the UK for 21 years I am enjoying your videos. Carry on the way you are doing now. Sometimes, it’s not all about money and numbers! You are experiencing so many amazing moments just being yourself! It also feels more honest.
@@carriepatsalis I miss home. Even though I have been in the U.K for so long that I have spent more than half of my life here, still I miss Bangladesh. Whenever I go there, I try to relate my younger days with the present day Dhaka. It has changed so much. It doesn't feel the same any more. Perhaps, that's for the fact that I try to go down the memory lane trying to go back to days I have in my memory. It makes me nostalgic when I think of those beautiful days I spent with family and specially my dad, whom I lost last year to Covid. Have a wonderful trip and wish you loads of luck
@carriepatsalis Don't worry Carrie. as a Bangladeshi we always say those words insaallh and Allah vorosa. It means Allah always with us. I think you noticed that Dhaka university is an unique university in Bangladesh. Each student is extraordinary and during their admission test in the university most students studied 16 hours a day. They are dedicated and determined to get chance in the university. But University offer limited seat for every years.Our education system is very challenging and our parents also participate in this competition because of social pressure. Neighbours kids cannot go faster than own kids. However, when a foreigner like you visited our country and provide positive feedback about us, as a Bangladeshi we fell you also part of our family. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you for visiting my University and making a beautiful vlog out of it. I used to love this place so much during my time mostly because of its cultural vibes and green environment. I lived in a residential hall there. Your vlog made me nostalgic about this place and the last part of the video really made me emotional. Take love ❤
really love your blogs! I was randomly browsing on RUclips and suddenly your video with harry popped up. I like this sort of blogs as they show the real heritage of our country and it’s fascinating to see my country in others eye. And love the way you demonstrate something. I would recommend you to visit Bangladesh again. Come to Sylhet and i will give you a tour of my city, bet you will be mesmerised. Also love the fact that you pronounce bangla properly. Other foreigners would say "bang la" and you said it perfectly. Thanks
The fruit season of Bangladesh is about to come. Just wait some time and taste the Mangos, Litchis, Jackfruit and a bunch of other things. The Northern part (Rajshahi and Rangpur division)of Bangladesh will get filled by seasonal fruits. So, I hope you won't miss that. You will be pleased to enjoy those.
Thanks Carrie ☺ That was epic for bringing the attention of a very little know fact about Bangladesh outside the country & for such an original vlog as I daresay, not many have ventured into this territory. Have a truly beautiful week my dear 🤗
Thank you! It was a tricky subject to deliver but I wanted to try.. I know not everyone will agree but I am satisfied I have told it to the best of my ability
Oh wow! I see every foreigners came to this country love drinking tea especially milk tea. Recently Davud Akhundzada visited the country and I saw most of his videos, he had milk tea. What a tea!
The history and size of the university looked very impressive! Also, the values of unity of students and professors towards the nation here looked even more amazing in your video!!
The values are wonderful! Things I didn’t get around to including in the video, but are really lovely, are things like when a student finishes with their books, they write their names in them and then donate them to the library for the next students in to use.. it’s a really supportive place that also seems to foster confidence.. I loved the vibe there 😍
Thanks again for sharing our tradition, culture, nature, social movements and last but not the least our daily fight for life in a country of high population density,; through your Travel Blog part by part with the rest of the world. It's beyond imagination how lovely you present Bangladesh to the world and I am confident your such efforts shall bring a new dimension to our Tourism Industry. We are definitely grateful for your kind attitudes towards Bangladesh.
the end was better and rhythmic...well and organised weaving of the video refarding DU of bangladesh..tjanks to @ carrie patsalis..lively way to portray our country...hatts off..waiting for next tour in bangladesh..
@@carriepatsalis Portuguese people had more involvement in Bangladesh. They were pirates and criminals. At the same time, they spread Catholic Christianity both forcefully and by preaching. They were mostly involved in Costal and riverine areas. They used big boats to go inland to preach. My father when young and other kids saw them coming out of a boat in white robes chanting "Isa Beguna Pak Shab". Meaning "Jesus has no sin. He is a holy man". They told the kids to recite and memorize the phrase. So, the kids went home told this phrase to their parents. LOL
First of all I want to thank you for spending ur valuable time in spending our country full of history of sacrifice and secondly I loved that u reply to all of the comments that we send with our love 🤗
Hi Carrie, thanks a lot for visiting my uni down there. I have been living in Sydney for last 23 years. Still university of Dhaka is my second home. I love your all other vlogs about Bangladesh. Keep doing the great work.
Come to the BUET campus one day. Here you will find very talented students and a beautiful campus which is producing one of the best engineers in Bangladesh.
Hello Carrie🙂 You are really becoming an ambassador for tourism of Bangladesh. Love to see your experience with Bangladeshi culture food heritage and so on. If you still in Bangladesh please pay a visit to Jahangirnagar University which is very near to Dhaka.
My dad was a teacher in dhaka university. But now we came in sweden a few months ago from bangladesh for his phd. We will be back in bangladesh after 3 years i miss living close to Bangladesh.
wow. you are one of the great explorer of history and culture .. In my last visit to Bangladesh I visited this place on the way back from "Ahsan Manjil" of Old Dhaka, another tourist spot. You missed an interesting place there just behind you. A great food shop called DAS selling potato burger for only 15 pence. I still remember the taste of the street food "Fuchka" from there. I should also mention about the crowd, open air theatre plays, puffed rice chutney, candy floss, unripe mango and spicy guava etc.❤❤❤
@@carriepatsalis if you go again, you can collaborate with two local youtuber couple called ''petuk couple'' & ''Khudalagse''. A Romanian youtuber couple ''Dodo Explorer'' and Korean youtuber Daud Kim, visited Bangladesh so many times and got very good response and just yesterday done a wonderful collaboration among them there in Bangladesh. Wish you good luck.
Showcasing our culture, tradition & life style r superb! On ur next video, u may get some foreign students who live in Bangladesh just because of completing higher education and some r actually perusing their career (Job ) as well😂
When you will come in Chittagong, visit here in 'Chittagong University'. It's the biggest university of Bangladesh. The natural scenario is unbelievable. Natural fountain and hill tracks are available here. World's only shuttle train in a university is running here. And a lot of things are waiting for you Carrie!!
Dhaka university is not just a university like other universities but the HEART of Bangladeshi culture, history and identity. Without dhaka university we can't even think about our Bengali identity. Our cultural, political and educational activities circles around this university. We all love our DHAKA UNIVERSITY whether we studied here or not.
I think Dhaka university is the heart Bengali culture in Bengal and the heart of love in the the world. And also actually there's was no such country as "India" formed with the regions which is now a part of India before 1947. But Bengal was still a country before the partition, it was the present West Bengal, Bangladesh and some of the surrounding areas. And it was called Bengal. We have rich cultural hearitage, the language also now known as the sweetest language in the world.
@@carriepatsalis Thank you so much for the positive representation of Bengali culture ❤️ I love your content and a new subscriber, I hope you'll be able to go back to Bangladesh. I live abroad and this video made me homesick and so nostalgic. Lots of love. Although there was a huge hand of the British empire in the partition of Bengal it'll be peculiar to blame this generation's English community, just want to let you know I am sorry if any hate came to you during your beautiful tour in Bangladesh, directly or indirectly.
This vlog is amazing! I really like the way you share our culture and history 😊. language was just not the ONLY thing that was imposed on us by the west Pakistan.Beyond language, there were also ideological and cultural differences. The language movement in 1952 initiated the vision of independence among Bangladeshies. Many civilians also died apart from the uni students for the sake of speaking our mother tongue. Unfortunately, we don't have the exact number of the casualties. Dhaka university also played a vital role in our liberation war in 1971. "Modhur canteen" where you've had the tea and sweets was a popular political meeting point for the students. Many national politicians regularly used to met with the students in Modhur Canteen to plan and execute political agendas for the liberation of the Bangladesh. This is the reason the original owner of "modhur canteen" who is known as "modhu da" was killed brutally by the Pakistani army during the liberation war. Although East Pakistan had a larger population, West Pakistan dominated the divided country politically and received more money from the common budget. According to the World Bank, there was much economic discrimination against East Pakistan, including higher government spending on West Pakistan, financial transfers from East to West, and the use of the East's foreign exchange surpluses to finance the West's imports. The discrimination occurred despite the fact that East Pakistan generated a major share of Pakistan's exports. Also, Bengalis were intentionally underrepresented in civil services, army, police and other policy making positions. These all caused unhappiness and anger among the people. The west Pakistani government refused to honour the result of 1970 general election, where awami league (a party that was led by sheikh mujib at that time) got the majority vote. The west Pakistani army started "operation searchlight" on 25th march 1971 to stop the Bengali voice against them. On the 26th march the liberation war started and the victory was achieved on 16 December. This is why 26 march is the independence day of Bangladesh and 16th December is the victory Day of Bangladesh. Next time you visit Bangladesh, I would highly recommend visiting our liberation war museum in Dhaka. And also don't forget to visit the bangabondhu memorial museum in Dhanmondi 32. If you need a more in-depth history, you can also visit bangabondhu military museum.
Awesome to read this.. and the museum sounds perfect for me to understand more. It’s a strange old world isn’t it.. as a British person however I know more than anyone how land grabs work.. us Brits were amongst the worst for using and taking..our history in this region of the world is despicable.. so I can’t lay blame on pakistan.. sadly humans appear to do it as standard.
@@carriepatsalis I would thank you Carrie for your this comprehension/realization as a Brit !!! If I had a gossip with you about the history and the experiences of this sub-continent, quite obviously this issue would rise, and may be language barrier would be a great issue to make you realize the precise aspects of the experiences of "Colonial era". Your this realization and acknowledgement on this regard has made that easier for me!😢
@@muhammadanassiddiki5753 as a Brit I have to acknowledge the past.. no good pointing the finger at other nations without realising we did so much more damage
Carrie looking ur post through your eyes I’m inventing Bangladesh all over again, places I went n didn’t know many of them, it’s really felt good to see my homeland after 45 years living abroad
@@carriepatsalis That’s the plan, from next year every winter for three months I will stay over, missed out lots of family gatherings, holidays n relatives wedding etc, I still have lots of good memories from Bangladesh, after watching u I decided to go back in winter, can’t take heat anymore, lol
Hi,Carrie Thank you so much for showing Dhaka.I had the opportunity to study in UK.Would love to show the Supreme Court Bangladesh where you find historic buildings & thousands of English trained lawyer. Are u still visiting Dhaka?
At the end when i saw someone standing and salute to the monument i just couldn’t hold my tears 😢Bangladesh may a small and most densely populated country on earth but it has a lot of cultural significance and history..!!Unfortunately political stability is missing here😢Politicians are trying to defame our country for their own good 😢corruption in every sector😢
I never knew Dhaka university was such a big site I will hopefully visit next time when I am in Bangladesh do you need to request to visit or are some campus open to the public
It’s a good question.. I have a feeling some of the food Street areas around curzon hall are open to the public but let me check.. I wanted to get inside buildings so obviously needed to be with a student or lecturer.. let me come back to you.. will ask Amrita!
So I just heard back from Amrita and she confirmed that you can have a wander in without permission .. also the food stalls around TSC are all open to the public.. a good place to go and meet students!
If you come to visit Bangladesh, then the life of the village people and the environment of the village will fascinate you. If you want to see all this, you will be slow in Bangladesh North Bengal.
Needing some correction of the facts, Urdu was declared as the lingua franca of Pakistan. Interestingly only 3% of the total population spoke Urdu in all of Pakistan. The population of East Bengal ( later called East Pakistan ) was 56% and almost all of them spoke Bangla. Bangla was not totally scrapped from the curriculum, grievance was, the language of the majority was not getting its due respect. The language movement of 1952 with loss of lives Bangla got its prominence as a national language along with Urdu. The red brick building, Curzon Hall is named after Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India. Actually the building was built as the assembly building of the newly formed Assam-Bengal province, the two other buildings of Assam-Bengal are present-day Dhaka Medical ( Secretariat ) and present-day old High Court ( Residence of the Governor ). As a compromising gesture of British administration on dissolution of Assam-Bengal and reunification of divided Bengal, East Bengal was awarded with a University (Dacca), sad to say, against profound opposition from the elite Bengali Hindu. Dhaka University is the pivotal for emancipation and later emergence of Bengali nationalism which culminated into independence of Bangladesh ( the then East Bengal, Lord Curzon's Assam- Bengal without Assam).
It’s interesting to hear other takes on this.. I used a few different sources to check info but I appreciate there are always different accounts. The history of this region is very detailed and it’s great to understand it more 😍
Carrie you should be given a an honorary citizenship of Bangladesh, for the way you are giving an inside of Bangladesh in every possible way. Nowadays eagerly wait for your new videos.
Carrie I was amazed how passionate they are about uni, isnt it interesting how politically motivated students are. I must say my uni days were just about putting my foot through that door and out once done. Glad to have certificate at the end of it.
Yes we definitely didn’t have that passion in the U.K. when I went.. but it’s interesting how historically it’s remained a big part of Bangladeshi culture.. fighting for rights take’s passion to a different level and rightly so
Bangla and Urdu both were national languages of Pakistan/ Only 4% people of the then West Pakistan used to speak in Urdu. English was official language. Bangla was never removed from the curriculum. Half the MPs and half the central ministers including three Prime Ministers of Pakistan were Bengalis. Three Bengalis were President of Pakistan.
@@carriepatsalis Bangla was a compulsory subject for all students in High schools and Intermediate Classes (12th grade) - any person who had gone to school in East Pakistan during 60’s can verify this fact. While researching on line, I would always be careful trusting some Pakistani research on India and Indian research on Pakistan - people making up history to suit their bias is not rare in the sub-continent.
This canteen was the club house for British officers before it was given to Dhaka university. At that time Urdu was not spoken neither in west Pakistan nor in east Pakistan. Urdu wiped out all the languages of west Pakistan after 1947. Bengali survived in east. Urdu is a North Indian language. Funny part is Indians took a Pakistani Sindhi script to make Hindi language and Pakistanis took Arabic script make that same language as Urdu 😊
Dhaka University was established in 1921 under British regime; oldest university of Bangladesh. I was a student of Dhaka University in 90 decade. Lot of thanks to you revive my memory visiting there.
Awww awesome! I am glad I could take you on a trip down memory lane 😍

The Pakistani government did not prevent Bangladeshis from speaking their language. They said only Urdu will be the state language of Pakistan.
They imposed urdu on media and schools.. that’s pretty major (if I turned my tv on one day and it was in French that would be an issue..)
The history and size of the university looked very impressive! Also, the values of unity of students and professors towards the nation here looked even more amazing in your video!!
The values are wonderful! Things I didn’t get around to including in the video, but are really lovely, are things like when a student finishes with their books, they write their names in them and then donate them to the library for the next students in to use.. it’s a really supportive place that also seems to foster confidence.. I loved the vibe there 😍
Saw you but unfortunately I was on my way to the exam center. Hope to see you in person someday
Hope your exam went well 😍
Thanks again for sharing our tradition, culture, nature, social movements and last but not the least our daily fight for life in a country of high population density,; through your Travel Blog part by part with the rest of the world. It's beyond imagination how lovely you present Bangladesh to the world and I am confident your such efforts shall bring a new dimension to our Tourism Industry. We are definitely grateful for your kind attitudes towards Bangladesh.
Thanks so much! It’s been a wonderful adventure for me.. and opened up a new world in my eyes 😍
Language movement actually sparked from the area amtola. Now it is a part of Dhaka Medical college. Very much close to the sohid Minar.
the end was better and rhythmic...well and organised weaving of the video refarding DU of bangladesh..tjanks to @ carrie patsalis..lively way to portray our country...hatts off..waiting for next tour in bangladesh..
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😍
Dhaka had few old European enclaves such as French, Greek, Dutch, Armenia, Portuguese. Dinajpur had a French settlement.
I had no idea about the Greeks until I went to DU and saw the little temple in the TSC! Amazing!
@@carriepatsalis Portuguese people had more involvement in Bangladesh. They were pirates and criminals. At the same time, they spread Catholic Christianity both forcefully and by preaching. They were mostly involved in Costal and riverine areas. They used big boats to go inland to preach. My father when young and other kids saw them coming out of a boat in white robes chanting "Isa Beguna Pak Shab". Meaning "Jesus has no sin. He is a holy man". They told the kids to recite and memorize the phrase. So, the kids went home told this phrase to their parents. LOL
First of all I want to thank you for spending ur valuable time in spending our country full of history of sacrifice and secondly I loved that u reply to all of the comments that we send with our love 🤗
Thanks and it’s a pleasure.. having a deeper level of understanding always makes a country make a lot more sense to me 😍
Hi Carrie, thanks a lot for visiting my uni down there. I have been living in Sydney for last 23 years. Still university of Dhaka is my second home.
I love your all other vlogs about Bangladesh. Keep doing the great work.
Oh wow amazing! I bet you have some fantastic memories! Sydney is cool too.. haven’t been in like 20 years but hopefully one day I will return!
I am also a student of geography & environment in Dhaka University... Glad to see Maliha mam & Shahid sir❤❤
Wonderful! A lovely department 😍
Come to the BUET campus one day. Here you will find very talented students and a beautiful campus which is producing one of the best engineers in Bangladesh.
That sounds amazing 😍
You have out done yourself Carrie. I am without words. Utterly grateful.
Thanks for watching! Spent extra time on this one! 😍
Thank you so much for coming my University. Really I am proud of you
Thank you 😊
Your video directory and how you present it is pure poetry
Thank you 😊
Hello Carrie🙂 You are really becoming an ambassador for tourism of Bangladesh. Love to see your experience with Bangladeshi culture food heritage and so on. If you still in Bangladesh please pay a visit to Jahangirnagar University which is very near to Dhaka.
Thank you! I am in london now but maybe my next trip.. I’d love that 😍
Miss your videos are so soothing and refreshing. Also insightful
Glad you like them! 😍
Thanks Carrie for representing all divisions of Bangladesh nicely.
My pleasure (Carrie!) 😍
My dad was a teacher in dhaka university. But now we came in sweden a few months ago from bangladesh for his phd. We will be back in bangladesh after 3 years i miss living close to Bangladesh.
I can imagine you feel homesick.. probably more so during Ramadan. I hope your enjoying Eid. It will be lovely when you get to return 😍
Thankyou.
Very good historical analysis from 1952-1971. You have been great always!!!
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for visited our country 🇧🇩❣️
wow. you are one of the great explorer of history and culture .. In my last visit to Bangladesh I visited this place on the way back from "Ahsan Manjil" of Old Dhaka, another tourist spot. You missed an interesting place there just behind you. A great food shop called DAS selling potato burger for only 15 pence. I still remember the taste of the street food "Fuchka" from there. I should also mention about the crowd, open air theatre plays, puffed rice chutney, candy floss, unripe mango and spicy guava etc.❤❤❤
Oooh potato burger sounds good! When I return I need to explore more 🥰
@@carriepatsalis if you go again, you can collaborate with two local youtuber couple called ''petuk couple'' & ''Khudalagse''. A Romanian youtuber couple ''Dodo Explorer'' and Korean youtuber Daud Kim, visited Bangladesh so many times and got very good response and just yesterday done a wonderful collaboration among them there in Bangladesh. Wish you good luck.
Showcasing our culture, tradition & life style r superb! On ur next video, u may get some foreign students who live in Bangladesh just because of completing higher education and some r actually perusing their career (Job ) as well😂
I would like to thank you for showing around the esteemed university and narrating its glorious history.
A real pleasure to discover the history 😍
I think this is the best vlog made by any you tuber ever.
Thanks a million 😄
This blog was really enjoyable ❤ thank you so much for this one.❤
I am very happy you enjoyed it 😍
When you will come in Chittagong, visit here in 'Chittagong University'. It's the biggest university of Bangladesh. The natural scenario is unbelievable. Natural fountain and hill tracks are available here. World's only shuttle train in a university is running here. And a lot of things are waiting for you Carrie!!
Watch my RUclips video ‘my first impressions of Kaptai lake’ and you will see it 😍
@@carriepatsalis Oh then you missed visiting that university! ;(

শুভ নববর্ষ! (Shuvo Nobo Borsho)
Happy Bangla New Year!
Happy bangla new year! Have a great time 😍
Dhaka university is not just a university like other universities but the HEART of Bangladeshi culture, history and identity. Without dhaka university we can't even think about our Bengali identity. Our cultural, political and educational activities circles around this university.
We all love our DHAKA UNIVERSITY whether we studied here or not.
I can totally sense that now.. I really enjoyed discovering this part of Bangladesh 🇧🇩
@@carriepatsalisGood that you understand the feelings of us about DU. Thank you and love 💕
Profesor sahidul islam is looking so natural and friendly . Such a nice and humble he is i think.
Absolutely! It was very kind of him to give me so much time 🥰
That's my dream right there hope It ages well
You have done tremendous job.hope you wil come soon again Bangladesh.
Thank you 🙏
@@carriepatsalis thanks for your comments.
One of your best videos to date
Thanks! Enjoyed this one very much!
I think Dhaka university is the heart Bengali culture in Bengal and the heart of love in the the world. And also actually there's was no such country as "India" formed with the regions which is now a part of India before 1947. But Bengal was still a country before the partition, it was the present West Bengal, Bangladesh and some of the surrounding areas. And it was called Bengal. We have rich cultural hearitage, the language also now known as the sweetest language in the world.
The history is fascinating and also so sad.. I despise the British hand in it all too.. but I was pleased to learn more about it
@@carriepatsalis Thank you so much for the positive representation of Bengali culture ❤️ I love your content and a new subscriber, I hope you'll be able to go back to Bangladesh. I live abroad and this video made me homesick and so nostalgic. Lots of love. Although there was a huge hand of the British empire in the partition of Bengal it'll be peculiar to blame this generation's English community, just want to let you know I am sorry if any hate came to you during your beautiful tour in Bangladesh, directly or indirectly.
I was there when you filmed the video in Modhu Canteen. Wanted to talk with you but couldn't. But it's a beautiful video nonetheless.
Awww you should have said hello! I love it when people come up and chat to me! I am happy you enjoyed the video 🥰
This vlog is amazing! I really like the way you share our culture and history 😊.
language was just not the ONLY thing that was imposed on us by the west Pakistan.Beyond language, there were also ideological and cultural differences. The language movement in 1952 initiated the vision of independence among Bangladeshies. Many civilians also died apart from the uni students for the sake of speaking our mother tongue. Unfortunately, we don't have the exact number of the casualties. Dhaka university also played a vital role in our liberation war in 1971. "Modhur canteen" where you've had the tea and sweets was a popular political meeting point for the students. Many national politicians regularly used to met with the students in Modhur Canteen to plan and execute political agendas for the liberation of the Bangladesh. This is the reason the original owner of "modhur canteen" who is known as "modhu da" was killed brutally by the Pakistani army during the liberation war.
Although East Pakistan had a larger population, West Pakistan dominated the divided country politically and received more money from the common budget. According to the World Bank, there was much economic discrimination against East Pakistan, including higher government spending on West Pakistan, financial transfers from East to West, and the use of the East's foreign exchange surpluses to finance the West's imports. The discrimination occurred despite the fact that East Pakistan generated a major share of Pakistan's exports. Also, Bengalis were intentionally underrepresented in civil services, army, police and other policy making positions. These all caused unhappiness and anger among the people. The west Pakistani government refused to honour the result of 1970 general election, where awami league (a party that was led by sheikh mujib at that time) got the majority vote. The west Pakistani army started "operation searchlight" on 25th march 1971 to stop the Bengali voice against them. On the 26th march the liberation war started and the victory was achieved on 16 December. This is why 26 march is the independence day of Bangladesh and 16th December is the victory Day of Bangladesh.
Next time you visit Bangladesh, I would highly recommend visiting our liberation war museum in Dhaka. And also don't forget to visit the bangabondhu memorial museum in Dhanmondi 32. If you need a more in-depth history, you can also visit bangabondhu military museum.
Awesome to read this.. and the museum sounds perfect for me to understand more. It’s a strange old world isn’t it.. as a British person however I know more than anyone how land grabs work.. us Brits were amongst the worst for using and taking..our history in this region of the world is despicable.. so I can’t lay blame on pakistan.. sadly humans appear to do it as standard.
@@carriepatsalis I would thank you Carrie for your this comprehension/realization as a Brit !!! If I had a gossip with you about the history and the experiences of this sub-continent, quite obviously this issue would rise, and may be language barrier would be a great issue to make you realize the precise aspects of the experiences of "Colonial era". Your this realization and acknowledgement on this regard has made that easier for me!😢
@@muhammadanassiddiki5753 as a Brit I have to acknowledge the past.. no good pointing the finger at other nations without realising we did so much more damage
Carrie looking ur post through your eyes I’m inventing Bangladesh all over again, places I went n didn’t know many of them, it’s really felt good to see my homeland after 45 years living abroad
Oh wow that’s wonderful! I really hope you get to return for a trip.. a special country 😍
@@carriepatsalis That’s the plan, from next year every winter for three months I will stay over, missed out lots of family gatherings, holidays n relatives wedding etc, I still have lots of good memories from Bangladesh, after watching u I decided to go back in winter, can’t take heat anymore, lol
Ending of the video make very emotional thank you so much for amazing video 🙏
🥰glad you liked it
Its the real iconic-historical building in south asia , univ of dacca , i enjoyed this tour university n learn more story too
Feel proud whenever it reminds me that I was the student of this globally glorious University!❤❤❤
Awesome.. an impressive place to be linked to 😍
Carrie you could have added the tune of “amar vaier rokte rangano ekushe February” song. It made me emotional.
Hi,Carrie
Thank you so much for showing Dhaka.I had the opportunity to study in UK.Would love to show the Supreme Court Bangladesh where you find historic buildings & thousands of English trained lawyer.
Are u still visiting Dhaka?
That’s cool to hear you studied in the U.K.. I am in london now
That’s my university I spent 3 years of my life in the heart of DU. Now in the UK
I’m really proud of DU ❤
How wonderful you were there 😍
Bangla is our heart.....I leave in England but I miss my bangla....thanks for the video that I can see my city...
My pleasure 🥰
Thanks for visiting my lovely country. Which rich in culture.
At the end when i saw someone standing and salute to the monument i just couldn’t hold my tears 😢Bangladesh may a small and most densely populated country on earth but it has a lot of cultural significance and history..!!Unfortunately political stability is missing here😢Politicians are trying to defame our country for their own good 😢corruption in every sector😢
So much history.. I hope you enjoyed the video 🥰
As Bangladeshi even I didn't know much about this uni but I loved ur video and the host she explained alot
Aww thanks so much for watching 😍
@@carriepatsalis 👍
Proper Infotainment !! 👌
😍
come to Mymensingh ❤❤ the nearest Division city to dhaka and alsp cultural and educational City in Bangladesh ❤.
Take love.
Enjoy watching you videos❤
Carrie You Can visit Niladri, Sunamgonj.. It's a beautiful place called Bangladesh's kashmir
I bet I would love it 😍
I am a student of Dhaka University, thanks for visiting my university.
Thank you! It was a real pleasure 😍
This is one of the best university of the world. U come to our Curzon Hall which is remarkable from It's journey in 1921...Thankyou for coming...
Incredible history 😍
You miss Commerce faculty and Department of Fine Arts which are precious part of University of Dhaka
Next time 😍
I never knew Dhaka university was such a big site I will hopefully visit next time when I am in Bangladesh do you need to request to visit or are some campus open to the public
It’s a good question.. I have a feeling some of the food Street areas around curzon hall are open to the public but let me check.. I wanted to get inside buildings so obviously needed to be with a student or lecturer.. let me come back to you.. will ask Amrita!
So I just heard back from Amrita and she confirmed that you can have a wander in without permission .. also the food stalls around TSC are all open to the public.. a good place to go and meet students!
@@carriepatsalis Thank you so much for taking time out to find the information and reply was not expecting that and really appreciate it 💕
If you come to visit Bangladesh, then the life of the village people and the environment of the village will fascinate you. If you want to see all this, you will be slow in Bangladesh North Bengal.
14:31 They are my classmates 😂 It was funny but nothing like the way you presented it xD
The lovely girls grabbing the chocolate?! Amrita and I were silently killing ourselves laughing in that lift watching them! It was so funny! Poor guy!
One of the best establishments of Nawab Sir Salimullah.❤
I'm a Dhaka University student. Thank you for visiting.
Loved it 😍
Needing some correction of the facts, Urdu was declared as the lingua franca of Pakistan. Interestingly only 3% of the total population spoke Urdu in all of Pakistan. The population of East Bengal ( later called East Pakistan ) was 56% and almost all of them spoke Bangla. Bangla was not totally scrapped from the curriculum, grievance was, the language of the majority was not getting its due respect. The language movement of 1952 with loss of lives Bangla got its prominence as a national language along with Urdu. The red brick building, Curzon Hall is named after Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India. Actually the building was built as the assembly building of the newly formed Assam-Bengal province, the two other buildings of Assam-Bengal are present-day Dhaka Medical ( Secretariat ) and present-day old High Court ( Residence of the Governor ). As a compromising gesture of British administration on dissolution of Assam-Bengal and reunification of divided Bengal, East Bengal was awarded with a University (Dacca), sad to say, against profound opposition from the elite Bengali Hindu. Dhaka University is the pivotal for emancipation and later emergence of Bengali nationalism which culminated into independence of Bangladesh ( the then East Bengal, Lord Curzon's Assam- Bengal without Assam).
It’s interesting to hear other takes on this.. I used a few different sources to check info but I appreciate there are always different accounts. The history of this region is very detailed and it’s great to understand it more 😍
thanks for visited our country ♥️
My pleasure 🥰
Nice love from Bangladesh
Carrie you should be given a an honorary citizenship of Bangladesh, for the way you are giving an inside of Bangladesh in every possible way.
Nowadays eagerly wait for your new videos.
Thank you! Got some good one’s to come before this series finishes (sundarbans and bandarban)
Carrie I was amazed how passionate they are about uni, isnt it interesting how politically motivated students are. I must say my uni days were just about putting my foot through that door and out once done. Glad to have certificate at the end of it.
Yes we definitely didn’t have that passion in the U.K. when I went.. but it’s interesting how historically it’s remained a big part of Bangladeshi culture.. fighting for rights take’s passion to a different level and rightly so
It's time you share the same passion here at our Uni's. Not sure if it's me but I think upto a certain age people are distance from UK politics
Hello from Germany, love your British humour in between :D
Thank you so much! 😄
Hello,
Where is mongal zatra procession video? I mean bangla happy new year, 1430? All the best ❤❤❤
Hey! Sadly I am in london now!
Lovely presentation. Take ❤
Thank you 😊
Bangla and Urdu both were national languages of Pakistan/ Only 4% people of the then West Pakistan used to speak in Urdu. English was official language. Bangla was never removed from the curriculum. Half the MPs and half the central ministers including three Prime Ministers of Pakistan were Bengalis. Three Bengalis were President of Pakistan.
With respect my research did not show this. Perhaps quote your source?
@@carriepatsalis Bangla was a compulsory subject for all students in High schools and Intermediate Classes (12th grade) - any person who had gone to school in East Pakistan during 60’s can verify this fact. While researching on line, I would always be careful trusting some Pakistani research on India and Indian research on Pakistan - people making up history to suit their bias is not rare in the sub-continent.
This canteen was the club house for British officers before it was given to Dhaka university.
At that time Urdu was not spoken neither in west Pakistan nor in east Pakistan. Urdu wiped out all the languages of west Pakistan after 1947. Bengali survived in east. Urdu is a North Indian language.
Funny part is Indians took a Pakistani Sindhi script to make Hindi language and Pakistanis took Arabic script make that same language as Urdu 😊
It’s fascinating.. and goes to show how important a language is for a culture.. I enjoyed learning about it
you can visit Jahangirnagar university next, welcome to have you
😍
