Former Member of Parliament, politician, and columnist Golam Maula Roni has warned that the nation has now fallen under the sway of yet another notorious idiom, ‘Mober Mulluk’, akin to the old saying ‘Moger Mulluk’.
Roni shared his observations on Tuesday morning (16 September) via a Facebook post.
He stated, “While we may never know the originator of ‘Moger Mulluk’, it will be impossible in the future to find anyone who does not recognise the originator of ‘Mober Mulluk’!”
This remark reflects his concern over the growing perception of lawlessness and disorder in the country.
| Idiom | Meaning | Origin |
| Moger Mulluk | A state of anarchy or chaos where no one follows rules | Derived from historical accounts of Mog pirates, whose lawless raids created widespread disorder and disregard for authority |
| Mober Mulluk | Contemporary parallel to Moger Mulluk, indicating a similar environment of disorder | Recent usage to describe the perceived breakdown of order in the country |
Moger Mulluk is a Bengali expression traditionally used to denote a chaotic or ungoverned situation. Its origin traces back to the times of the Mog pirates, whose tyranny and plundering left areas in complete disarray, where no one respected rules or authority.
According to Roni, the country now faces a modern equivalent of this disorder, encapsulated by the phrase Mober Mulluk, suggesting that lawlessness and arbitrariness have become widely recognised and nearly impossible to reverse.
