here's how armand can still be bengali

why do i think so? no other good reason than i am bengali myself and i want armand to be. (also assad zaman's family is from bangladesh. bengali solidarity!!!)

bengal: the region in south asia comprising present-day bangladesh and the indian states of west bengal, odisha, assam and parts of bihar.

armand said in the season one finale, that takes place in 2022, he is a 514 year old vampire. is it 514 years including or excluding his human years? let's go with including. that means armand would have been born in 1508.

now what was going on in india and bengal in 1508? well, the mughals hadn't come to india yet; it's still about two decades before babur makes his way here. delhi was under the rule of the lodi dynasty, the delhi sultanate was in its dying days. most of north india, mainly uttar pradesh and bihar was under the jaunpur sultanate. bengal was still it's own independent kingdom, called the bengal sultanate. alauddin hussain shah had just seized power and become the sultan of bengal in 1494, beginning the hussain shahi dynasty (they ruled in bengal till 1538 when the mughals captured the region).

india as a country did not exist yet. even it's conception would be a few centuries away still. the subcontinent was a collection of big and small kingdoms and sultanates, constantly warring amongst themselves, some ruled by hindu rulers others by muslims, each with their own distinct histories and cultures. bengal was one of the most prosperous and thriving among them. the bangla language and bengali culture was just beginning to develop.

vasco da gama had arrived in india in 1498, landing at kozhikode on the malabar coast. this began the arrival of the portugese in india, and soon other european colonialists followed. they soon set up their capital in goa, built forts all along the western coast and established trade through obtaining licenses and exclusive permits from local rulers. they first made their way to the bay of bengal region around 1516, with the first portugese representative- a guy called joao coelho- coming to chittagong (present day bangladesh). the first factory was set up in chittagong the next year.

the portugese traded in spices and cotton and fruits and muslin and also slaves. the european indian ocean slave trade began with the coming of the portugese in the early 16th century. slavery in south asian societies had obviously existed long before, and it was a deeply complex and diverse system of dependency and regimes of slavery. slavery of youth and children was also pretty prevalent: it would not be uncommon for poor, farming families to sell away themselves or their children to zamindars (landlords) and colonial overlords in desperation. there were many, many cases of young children being forced to get onboard ships where they'd be held agains their will and taken to europe, the americas or south-east asia. goa and lisbon were the two cities that linked the movement of goods and people between the indian and atlantic oceans, but goa wasn't the only place where enslaved children were traded in portugese india nor lisbon the only european they were taken to.

one of those kids might as well have been arun.

i know the brief glimpse at the talamasca files showed armand's origin to be in delhi but in this particular scene he clearly says that he was sent *to* delhi, thinking he was going to work on a merchant boat.

this is just a theory i have btw. armand could've been from maharastra or the deccan as well idk. anyway.

armand is a monster, a vicious, villanious creature of unfathomable powers and ferocity. but he is also so deeply tragic. he had been forcibly torn away from his people and his land. he has no memory of his family or his humanity. he has lived for over half a millenium. the india he might've known hasn't existed for centuries, and he never got to know the one that exists today. the bangla he might've spoken no one remembers anymore. he has nothing left of the human he was except that name.

This is my favorite achaar. If you love really really really spicy sauces, you’ll love this. This is spicier than the spiciest sauce you’ve ever had. Buldak sauce is nothing compared to this. This shit hurts soooo good Im salivating just thinking about adding this to my rice and curry dinner later on. You can find this in any bangladeshi 🇧🇩 store for $8. The spice is extremely intense but I love the flavor. Even the heart burn it causes feels good idk lmfao. Joy Bangla

For the ask game: how's your spice tolerance? I know we're both Bengalis but,,,,, bangalis just be eating more spice than ghotis 👁️👁️

(pls recreate fake ghoti-bangali drama with me life is so boring these days)

AHAHAHAH my spice tolerance varies tbh. Bangals eat more spice because you guys don't have taste buds <3333 😘😘😘 /j /lh

No because after saraswati puja one year my dida made gota chorchori (I don't know if that's a specifically ghoti thing or if bangals do it too) and I was eating it like anything, and my dida gave me a weird look like, how are you eating it this fast, and I was like ??? and then she told me she put six chillis in it

But just three days ago my mother made some curry (I think echor but not sure) and put One Spoon Of Kashmiri Mirch and I, like the baby that I am, just about died

(👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️ would love to recreate the drama, amar ei aar ek soptaho tarpor kichhu korar nei. Zee Bangla r porjaye niye jabo)

Inspo Photos

I know, I know. These are not taken by a seasoned photographer please excuse how hideous they look. Please, I urge you to forgive me but there is reasoning behind them.

These 4 photos, I chose to capture these moments because it shows slight contrast. Actually this contrast may be difficult to spot without knowing what you are looking for. The contrast is within each individual image itself, you must look at each image separately. For example, the vegetables in the pan. What I see is a mix of broccoli, carrots and cauliflower, it kind of made me giggle because I got used to seeing these three veggies together in nearly every 'white' dish ever and to just see it fried instead of boiled and with onions instead of a single piece of salt and pepper fish was humorous to me. By the way that was the only time I've eaten all the veggies on my plate, I never knew they tasted so good when they weren't just boiled with water and relied on two grains of salt to properly flavour them. I felt almost proud. The culture of my ancestors and family before me were blessed with the skill of cooking delicious flavourful food. Flavourful yet quite literally detrimental to my health. Actually it is common for South Asians to experience high cholesterol and it's all down to out oil consumption, so much oil is used in our dishes it's crazy. Anyway, besides the point, it was just the fact that these three vegetables that, to me at least, seem so British could be turned into such a dish. I don't know what it's called in English, but in Bangla these kind of dishes are called 'bazis', pronounced as ba-zees, it's like when vegetables are fried with onions and range of spices. It gave a new meaning to these vegetables. I liked the sort of collaboration between these 'British' veg and Asian style cooking, I was amused yet also quite enlightened possibly, as in like it's a perfect reflection of how I'm living, I've somehow made a collaboration of these two cultures and it even shows in the food I eat. This sort of unexpected and odd mix of cultures is something I wish to portray in my final outcome and I really hope this idea can be portrayed to the viewer as accurately as I can.
