There is a famous saying in Farsi, "Pidram Sultan Bood", which means when a person was asked what he did for a living he replied, "Well my father was Sultan Bood".
Are we inspiring our young ones to outshine our ancestors or our very simply relishing the past ?
Why isn't there a single diplomat or a politician from the family today?

Of hand, I don't see any of the young ones in politics now.
Maybe they don't have the fire in them. Or maybe they don't have enough money to contest. You need cash during elections for cha, paani and biddi.
Or its maybe because of the brain drain that many of our kids are going abroad to work or study.
Like it or not throughout the history of mankind, enterprising people are the people who created and still creates history by innovative ways" when it comes to develop a nation, they are the one who are the movers and shakers. Not the government servent like a diplomat or CSP or the politicians, regardless of their so-called position and always temporaty power. They actually act as mid-wife until they are no more needed.
Father and grand father of Nawab Khawaja Abdul Ghani came to bengal as entrepreuners. Obviously worked hard as rug merchant and or hide traders or whatever honest way to make a living. It is them who handover their legacy which is known as "VALUE OF HONORABLE LIFE".
Nawabi seeds in bengal started by them, for them and with them, and the great nawab khawaja sir Salimullah is a product of his ancestors.
I like to see atleast one name over at the international patent and copyright office that bear the name of any member of dhaka nawab family.
Ameen, sum-ma-ameen
