Dear Chatgaiya,
Assalamu alaikum.
I am writing to this forum after a long time, though I have had an eye on it. Enjoying the debate too.
I would like to appeal you all to have a look into the the Bangla Wikipedia (http://bn.wikipedia.org ). There recently we have started to enrich the Chittagong Related Article. We need to complete the articles on education, history, geography, business and culture of Chittagong. All these are separate entry. After completing this we can make summery of all this to the 'chittagong" article and thus make it a candidate for a feature article in bn.wiki!
We also need some good picture as well.
We need three types of Picture
1. The natural Chittagong- Potenga, Batahi hill, Foy's Lake etc.
2. The man made chittagong - Like the collegiate school in early age and also present age. Collegiate is the oldest highschool in Ctg, started as Chittagong Government School.
3. Portrait of "Chatgaiya Gourov" - Sher-e-Chatgam Kajem Ali Master, J M Sen, Surjaya Sen, Pritilota, Dr Hashem, Moniruzzaman Islamabadi, Annada Charon Khastagir etc. While reading the history of Chittagong, I was amaged by the decision of great NOOR Ahmad Chairman. He made primary education compulsory for the boys in 1925 and for the girls in 1926! What a visionary man indeed.
You may wonder why I am asking picture as some of the above pictures are available in net and books. But, wikipedia server is at USA and restricted by CopyRight Law there. So, we need picture under GFDL or CC License.
Uploading picture to wiki coomons is simple. However, you may ask questions to a service provided by BdOSN(www.bdosn.org). And to have this support, please mail directly to banglawiki@bdosn. org.
At the time of anti-British movement, Gandhijii's great remark endorese that Chittagong was always ahead of all Bengal. We proved it in 1971 too!
So, it is our time to prove once again in wikipedia, by making the "Chittagong" as the first "Featured Article on Bangladeshi District" in Bangla wikipedia.
Apnader Sobaike Obhibadhan!
Munir Hasan
Proud to be a chatgaiya
