Well about Sylheti language, I don't see any harm in the govt. providing funding to revive the language (written as well as spoken), and study of it in schools and in academic circles. The script is still available, though not in wide usage even in Sylhet itself. I'd leave it to Sylhetis themselves to establish their preference on this.
There are so many well-educated Sylhetis in higher echelon jobs and careers. While they speak Bengali in official circles, among Sylhetis themselves the language is of course Sylheti, as is the case in Chittagong.
Bangladesh is quite a small place - so the lingua franca remains Bengali with regional accents. I don't see that changing soon.
We have to be careful about these linguistic divisions, because according to Indian plan, the first things they will try to do is to create linguistic conflicts for purposes of weakening our unity in Bangladesh.
That subject of unity no one in Bangladesh is willing to compromise on, is my belief. Indians have their eye on Sylhet, as well as Chittagong. We need to be very aware of their schemes. They will try to do the same thing they tried to do in Pakistan various times, is create local divisions. Bangladesh will be harder (culturally more homogeneous), but they will still try.
We will pay back the Gangus in their own scheme by weakening India as well. Just watch.
On the topic of Assam (which you did not mention), I believe Sylhetis can do a great job of mobilizing their relatives in India, the Sylheti speaking Assam citizens in the Barak Valley, toward greater self-determination to carve out their own independent dominated area and a separate state. I believe that is a great approach to reduce BJP influence on their populace.
About Rohingya I have my doubts whether, given the choice, they'd settle in the hill tracts, rather than Arakan.
They have been living in Arakan for multiple (I can say five or six) generations, easily. They are rightfully Myanmarese citizens by any meaning of the word and that right cannot be taken away, even by terrorizing them. They will go back to Myanmar (Arakan) eventually, whether in two years, or twenty. These kinds of wrongs cannot be tolerated by the global community.
@Homo Sapiens bhai what do you think of my ideas?
