Really? What they do in Kerala? I did see some Bengalis in Chennai, mostly they will work as cook for Bengalis working there.

Mostly unskilled labour working in construction industry, brick kilns, cashew nut factories, restaurants etc.

Its not a muslim thing, everyone is wearing those these days, even with normal jeans and shirts.

Probably Bangladeshis, I heard there is a heap of them in Kerala.

May be...may be not. Kerala police (KP) is increasingly suspecting of them being Bangladeshis after a spate of crimes including fake currency was traced to BD. Now KP is demanding that every employer who employs migrant labours in his industries should collect their ID proof.

There is a place called Kadugodi in Bangalore, lots of Bengalis live here, I saw even Signboards in Bengali in Kadugodi.

Wtf? Taliban scarf?

We call it a ramaal.


It comes in handy when you're working in the fields to wipe your sweat with, and also when there are dust storms which we call nayree.

I once wore a dhoti, had a pretty big wardrobe malfunction, luckily i was wearing boxer shorts underneath

Kurta Payjama ftw.

Tragic Perhaps you would have gone for something like this Readymade Knitted Dhoti. We have that for Children in India, they only have to wear it like a trousers or jeans, and parents don't have to worry at all. My parents bought me one when I was 5yrs old.

no doubt, bengalis and other easterners have replaced workers in Kerala. their living conditions are abhorring. biharis and bengalis have a good fortune in kerala, guess. kerala government proposes to make mandatory labour camps for these people.
this:
Kerala, a 'Dubai' for Bengali migrants

It is a curious paradox—a land where unemployment is pro-verbially high acts as a magnet for livelihood-seekers
elsewhere. According to the latest available figures the unemployed constitute 10.7 per cent of the labour force in
Kerala which has a population of less than 40 million. And the phenomenon of young men and women streaming
out in search of jobs, to other states and the Gulf countries, continues unabated. Yet for impoverished Tamils,
Bengalis, Oriyas and Biharis, among others, Kerala is now what the Gulf countries have for long been for
Keralites. Agriculture, plantations and the building industry are some of the sectors in this state where one runs
into migrant workers from far off provinces. These migrant labourers, it seems, are jostling with the dalits and the
adivasis for a place at the rock bottom of the socio-economic pyramid.
