Vandalism[edit]

The articles Bengali novels, Bangla rock and Bengali science fiction have huge amount of material on Bangladesh but very less on West Bengal. The article on Bangla rock has been redirected to Bangladeshi rock, a term which does not even exist! This is pure vandalism. If you see the History of these three articles to 2 or 3 years back, say the page as it appeared on 16 October 2010 or 2011, you find an unbiased article. I suggest this page be edited and then locked. I am forced to add the vandalism tag to this and other mentioned articles. AkhilKumarPal (talk) 20:16, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

Should we maintain two subsection holding just the list of books by Humayun Ahmed and Muhammad Jafar Iqbal? I think we should replace them with facts and the impacts of their contribution to bangla science fiction. I want to make these changes...if nobody argues. Auyon 05:04, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, there is no point in giving two entire sections to particular authors. It is better to move the list of books to the individual author pages for Humayun Ahmed and Zafar Iqbal. --Ragib 05:26, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree as well. And there is no need to move the list to the specific authors' pages - I think the lists in this article are copied from the author's pages :). They are exactly the same. Sayutee 07:20, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I removed them. I hope to expand this in recent future. Auyon 20:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

style/grammar[edit]

IN places, this article is difficult to read because of the grammar. Could some-body please clean it up! Kdammers (talk) 07:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
