“The motivation to consider Bengali was clear, being a widely spoken and low-resource language. However, the reviewers missed some discussion on generalizing the conclusions of this paper to languages other than Bangali.”. Is such a question usually asked for English nlp paper?.

If you don't know any reviewers who can evaluate qualitative work, say so in the CFP. Statements like "The paper is missing structure for replicating and scaling interviews" say little about the research but a lot about the reviewers' methodological prejudice and narrowness.

I know the recent violence definitely doesn't represent most of the majority, but as a Bangladeshi minority, I appreciate them speaking up like for other issues in country. While some opportunists are exaggerating the incidents, denying/downplaying the violence is also unjust.

After the autocratic govt fell, why can't Bangladeshi minorities celebrate "independence 2.0"?.Cuz they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. Several minority neighborhoods in my hometown faced robberies last night and vandalism for the past few days.

There has long been a perception that the Hindu minority supports Sheikh Hasina, who resigned her post and fled the country after a popular uprising.
