let's keep building those bridges bro... i know yawl are indians first and that's OK, but keep up the bangla, however hindified it may continue to become... i'm still called a "musholman" in kolkata by the way, the term "bangal" refers to our hindu compatriots from this side for most of the ones i've met over there... still not a bangali in the eyes of some of the calcatian elite... that's OK too. the term "bangladeshi" seems to satisfy most of us from either side.
