Familiar with Modi, not Hasina

Amirul Sk, a four-year-old, goes to "school" — a makeshift room in the middle of a paddy field. Amirul is perhaps the most intelligent among the 13 kids of Poatur Kuti, a Bangladeshi enclave, who go to the Mansur Mia Primary School to study.
A Bangladeshi, Amirul is familiar with the names of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief minister Mamata Banerjee.He, however, doesn't know who the country's President is. On being asked about Sk Mujibur Rehman or Sheikh Hasina, he said: "No, I haven't heard of them.".
This, however, doesn't bother 75-year-old Mansur Mia. The school has been named after him. Mansur is among the most prominent names leading the 68-year-old struggle for their "independence". He had earlier told chief minister Mamata Banerjee that even though he valued her gift (a shawl) he would wear it the day they achieved "independence".
Bangladesh is only a notion for the youths here, he explained. "History has little relevance to the kids and youths. They have grown here, mingled with the people here and are like the rest of the Indians. Only they don't have any access to schools, hospitals and post offices. Some of the youths, after managing Indian documents (read fake ration cards or IDs), are going to schools and colleges. We lived in a mistake, which is being rectified," he said.
