How do you explain 'Bengali'
Bengali is the English way of writing "Bangla", since I am writing in English I am saying Bengali. I don't know the reason for this. I was proud to be Bangladeshi before the cricket match. I am proud of Muhammad Yunus, Maulana Bashani, Fazle Hasan Abed (I guess your working for BRAC...I found out about them through a Pashtun guy I know who is currently in Kabul :p ) and many other Bengalis/Bangalees from Bangladesh as well as Bengalis from West Bengal such as Chandra Bose, Sourav Ganguly, Sushmita Sen and Sailendra Nath Manna who is Indian Football player of the century, and even half Bengalis such as Kajol, Abhishek Bachan or Soha Ali Khan (dad Pathan, mum Bengali)
