It is your assertion that there is something called "bangladeshi" culture which is stupid. You keep on saying there is some difference between "indian" and "bangladeshi" culture, but couldn't name one. Because there isn't any and you pulled it from your behind...
@ My dear Indian Calcutta Babu, there are gulf of difference between West Bengal Bengali culture and Bangladeshi Bengali culture. Some of the points are given below:
1. I fully agree with
@Loki that it is due to the religious differences.
2. Firstly, most of the Muslim Bengali women don not give, "Tip" on their forehead. Most of them, consider that it is Hindu culture.
3. We call "Pani" to water where as Indian Bengali call it "Jal".
4. We call beef as "Goru's gosht " not "Mangsho" as it refers, "Mayer ongsho" means "Debota".
5. The Hindus prefer, "pital, tama and kasha" in crokeries items but it hardly matters to us.
6. Most of the hindu family prefers to teach their children in dancing and singing songs but we prefer to send them "maktam & madrasas" for religious teaching during the early age.
7. We wear "Lungi" they prefer to wear "Dhoti".
8. We eat beef but they worship it. Slaughtering of cow was forbidden in many of the Hindu Zamindary areas during British period.
9. Once some body is new borned we give "Ajan", they do some thing else may be "olu bajai".
10. In food, we prefer various types of fish, beef and mutton but they prefer "Niramish".
11. Hindus prefer for lighting of "mongol prodip and mongol jatra" but it does not exist in our case and it is not our culture.
12. Hindus are very much fond of "Mela" and it is said that "baro mase 13 puja". We also prefer for "mela" but not like Hindus.May be to attract opposite sex !!!
13. In our Bengali languages we use many Arabic, Persi and Urdu words and we are proud of that but in West Bengal it is missing.
14. And so on ------
