Are we Bangalies better at literature than sports?

[Night_wolf]

i dont remember where but in some other forums i read a guys post and he was talking about Bangalies as a race is Much better genes at literature, Sports doesn't suit them, they are not athletic enough.

Come to think of this we aren't a pure race..our race is mixed, so his point of our genes having more literature supremacy then sports is invalid, but he did raised a interesting issue

if we count the whole Bengali ethnic group i.e our west Bengal counterparts too, we haven't produced much world recognized athletes. just talking about cricket west bengal gave sourav ganguly to the world and we shakib al hasan, players who can be counted as world class players. other sports er kotha na bollei valo. in football both west and east bengal gave some decent players but they are by far world class.

on the other hand in literature our accolades are outstanding..Robindronath,Nazrul,Modusudon datta,Samsur Rahman...the list goes on and on..
