"But when you start turning a specific population by saying that these festivals are only celebrated by Hindus and Muslims shouldn't celebrate it, you are attacking the culture rather then religion."- who is attacking here really? Ultimately this attack would come from Islam based culture of muslims of assam because it is built-in in islamic culture.
"Religion is only a tool in doing so."- If you think that all religions are equivalent tools, you are naive about religions. It seems you are not aware of the fundamental differences between abrahamic religions and Dharma based religions that came from India.
"The word
Jamaat is a Urdu word and has no relevance with Bengali. But it has been cultivated among Bengalis and now we have
Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh." - When you write sentences like this, it will be better to be more explicit. Urdu/Arabic words cannot be cultivated among Hindu Bengalis. Urdu/Arabic words are already part of Bengali Muslim vocabulary because Koran is the central piece of their lives. So, as part of their Islamic culture, Bengali muslims would use urdu/arabic words. On the other hand, i agree that even Bengali Hindus can be given a dose of Urdu/arabic words by stealth mode techniques like secular education, secular movies, songs etc.
There are religions that divide. There are religions (or Dharma) that unite. And as we are taught in schools, Hinduism is as much a culture as it is a way of life. Hindu Assamese culture and Hindu Bengali culture can co-exist under the bigger umbrella of Hinduism. But you have no such luck with Muslims. Because their Koran is very explicit and clear cut about this. You have 34% of Muslims in Assam as per 2011 census. Please wait for two more decades. In your lifetime, it will be done. It is not that it is not already done. Rapes of Hindu women happen on a daily basis in Assam by Muslims but i guess Assamese Hindu women are not yet majority victims of that.
So here you are agreeing that Islam/ Christianity are different from Hinduism?
In a country where linking aadhar to mobile sees so many flips-flops and drama + mismanagement, what more could we expect?
I am quoting from wikipedia:
"
Mujib became politically active when he joined the
All India Muslim Students Federation in 1940, when he was a student of Islamia College.
[7]
He joined the
Bengal Muslim League in 1943. During this period, Mujib worked actively for the League's cause of a separate
Muslim state of Pakistan, and in 1946 he went on to become general secretary of the Islamia College Students Union. M. Bhaskaran Nair describes that Mujib "emerged as the most powerful man in the party" because of his proximity to
Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy.
[8]
After obtaining his BA degree in 1947, Mujib was one of the Muslim politicians working under Suhrawardy during the
communal violence that broke out in Calcutta, in 1946, just before the
partition of India.

"
(I do not have any source that says Mujib was jamat member.)
Mujibar Rahman was always a Muslim first and Bengali second. That is true for majority of muslims- they are always Muslims first. That is their culture. And this is the point i was trying to make. But everyone is free to choose his poison. If the assamese people and assamese leaders have chosen their poison of secularism-based-culture, i have no problem with that.
