Who are you ! Bangladeshi or Bangali ?

Sindh was majority Muslim with urban pockets here and there being Hindu majority. Overall around 3/4ths of the population was Muslim and like their Indus brethren used the Perso-Arabic script, so there was no chance of it ever becoming part of India. The only viable part of Sindh that could have gone to India was Tharparkar district in the extreme south east.

Okay thanks for the information.

In Bangla state of India (West Bengal) Bangladeshis are not considered Bangali but Bangladeshi only. This is mainly because Bangladeshis are religiously different from Bangalis of India. Bangladeshis are Muslims. So automatically we are not 'true' Bangali for them (Indian Bangalis). Only they uphold the true identity of being 'Bangali'. We are only Bangladeshi and Muslims.

Well said brother - wanna add some more things-- If i want i can make it clear to all of you guyz. But i just looking the peoples opinion. :)

As per the High Caste Hindu folks in Bengal, being born in Bengal and speaking Bengali language don't automatically make you a Bengali!!! You have to have the following additional characteristics to be considered as a Bengali in their book (Inside Bangladesh today; an eye-witness account by Basant Chatterjee, New Delhi, S. Chand, 1973):
  • You have to be a High Caste Hindu
  • You need to be literate in Bengali, Sanskrit etc.
  • Can't work in the fields (e.g., farmer, craftsman, fisherman etc.)
  • Need to own some lands
Hence, the Muslims in Bengal are by definition opted out!!! It's no wonder that Tagore, the Nobel Laureate Bengali poet and novelist, didn't have a single Muslim character from Bengal in his tons of literary works!!! When asked, his reply was simple: I don't know anything about the Muslims in Bengal!!! Interestingly, Tagores were one of the greatest landlords of Bengal, and 90% of their subjects were Muslims!!! BD Muslims were such an underclass in the British India under the Permanent Settlement!!! The creation of Pak let them live like a human being again!!!! No wonder they were first to backstab Pak, and that too on the basis of the Bengali nationalism!!!! What an irony of fate....


Wow, you surprise me every day with your post on Bd-Pak matter. How do you know all these? You have deep understanding in SA history.

I admit you know more than me. Good for you brother.

Many Bangladeshis don't call themselves Bangali like the above poster Mr. Ronin. Only Bangladeshi. Many Indians also agree that Bangladeshis are not Bangali but only Bangladeshis. Those who call themselves Bangali are generally Indians but the reason many Bangladeshis refuse to call themselves Bangali is because the term 'Bangali' has something to do with Hinduism and Indian ethnicity hence to separate from Indian-ness and Hinduic tradition and uphold Muslim tradition many Bangladeshis identify themselves as 'Bangladeshi Muslims'.

This is not to say that Bangladeshis don't identify themselves as Bangali. Generally those who have secular upbringings identify themselves as 'Bangali'.

Good post and make sense. Agree with your explanation.

muslims were never indigenous to bengal population... it was brought in by people who decided to settle here... bengali culture is inherently hindu

Hindus are not indigenous too then. They are vedic peoples.

However your logic is flawed . Many peoples converted to Islam and all are indigenous.
Islam is universal religion and not tribal like Hinduism, so you even can't say that Islam is Arabian religion . And also most converts from BD were from Buddhism.
