i do fully agree with mr. bodhisattwa mondal. as the second largest in india and the fifth largest language over the world bengali language should get more and more importance from the CIS-A2K. if bengali wiki community get the right opportunity they will make a revolution in knowledge world, i belief it from my heart. go ahead bodhi, place your justified demand ...

Hi,
CIS-A2K is allocating huge amount of budget on only five Indian languages. I dont know how other language communities, including my own Bengali, will provide feedback on that. We do not fall in the so-called Focused Language Area (FLA) of CIS-A2K and our feedback dont matter at all.
CIS has been requesting millions of dollars from WMF every year on their so-called 5 focused language areas and doing all kind of propaganda about their so-called progress, in social media, blogs and meta, sometimes claiming volunteer events as their own success. Still I can say, that other non-FLA volunteer Indian communities, including Bengali, are working on-wiki silently on their own without any/very little monetary or organizational support and progressing a lot more than funded Wikimedia projects and I am proud of that as a community member.
As India is not a country of only 5 languages, this Focused language concept is completely faulty to me and this shows clear discrimination to other language communities.
Regards, Bodhisattwa
