Sylheti nationalism has developed in different forms over time under British colonial rule and in East Pakistan, in independent Bangladesh, among Sylhetis in India and among diaspora communities in the West. The primary objective of the Sylheti nationalists is to be recognized and preserve the Sylheti culture and language. They claim that Sylheti is not a dialect of Bengali but its own language. The Sylheti language is undergoing a revival in Greater Sylhet and the diaspora, bringing with it great symbolic significance. For example, it was featured in a 2017 exhibition and workshop held in Tower Hamlets (London, UK) titled "Bangla is not my mother tongue" by the visual artist and spatial designer Osmani Saif.
