It depends on the type of people u come across
Some religious Bangladeshis passionately deny everything Bengali as it's a shared culture with Hindus
they believe it undermines their Muslim identity
Some non-religious Bangladeshis who pride themselves as "secularists" and "humanists" but are actually atheists
are also busy trying to import Hindu culture as the sole Bengali culture and destroy Islam in the process
but these people are a minority and Bangladeshis don't give a damn about these people
Majority Bangladeshis are confident about their identity religiously muslim culturally bengali
they same people who celebrate pohela boishak also celebrate Eid with exactly the same enthusiasm
if they are importing hindu culture into Bangladesh then they are not atheist rather they are Hindus in nature. such fake secular are trying to impose half baked hinduwana secularism on Bangladeshis .
This is very interesting that some people advocate that their "bengali" identity is only linked to hinduism and hindu culture and the day they practice Islam their begnali identity will be lost
