BENGALI TIGRESS!!!


MANY MANY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ARE FROM BANGLADESH,

MANY MANY SUCCESSFUL WOMEN ARE ALSO FROM BANGLADESH!!!

I KNOW OVER THE PAST FEW DECADES PAKISTANI AND INDIAN PEOPLE HAVE LOOKED DOWN ON OUR NEIGHBOURS OF EAST PAKISTAN(BANGLDESH), BUT

NOW IT SEEMS THAT BANGLADESHI PEOPLE ARE GETTING UP, WORKING HARD AND DOING VERY VERY WELL, WHETHER IT BE IN BUSINESS, RELIGION, COMMUNITY!!!

ALTHOUGH BANGLADESH IS A COUNTRY WHICH IS ALWAYS PREDICTED TO BE UNDER-WATER SOON AS IT SUFFERS MANY FLOODS.
BUT THE BENGALI COMMUNITY HAS PROVED ITSELF TO BE VERY SUCCESSFUL AND DOING VERY VERY WELL.

AN EXAMPLE FOR THIS IS;EAST LONDON, ALDGATE, BETHAL GREEN, WHITECHAPEL, (COMMERCIAL ROAD)
EVEN BOLLYWOOD HAS THE BENGALI TIGRESS OCCUPYING IT!!

WELL DONE BANGLADESH AND THE COMMUNITY BENGALI!!!!!

Hey Labs, Thats because they are Bengali!! There were Bengalis before the creation of Bangladesh, only 35 years ago, and they are still Bengali thereafter. As E-Sky mentioned it refers to people from the region, so its an umbrella term. Everyone from that region falls under it.
Anyway, It's not often that people refer to themselves as Bangladeshi. It just doesn't roll off the tongue quite as nicely as Bengali. And Bangla, as a language is all about aesthetics.

sahadat

bengali is not the language. "bangla" is the language. the use of "bengali" to denote the language is a misnomer dating from the colonial period. in our own language we use "bangla" to refer to our language not bengali.

"bengali" is what pertains to the region of greater bengal, comprising both bangladesh and west bengal in india. a bengali is therefore someone whose ethnic origin is greater bengal.

bangladesh refers to a national state and therefore a "bangladeshi" is a citizen of that state.

your reference to Irish is interesting since the word is both an ethnic and national reference point, as are Scottish, Welsh and (to a lesser degree) English. Since not many people these days are Gaelic (or Celtic or Saxon or Jute or Angle) it would be inaccurate to describe oneself in such terms.

hope you're well, old bean!

British is British is British. You can't say you want to be treated as a citizen and then try to display how non-British you are at every juncture. If I was white British I wouldn't trust somebody speaking in another language and draping another country's flag around them to beacting in the country's best interest either. Ah, I can feel the Daily Mail in me rising to the surface! British-Bengali? British Black? Shut up, you go there on holiday - you're just a tourist - you're just bloody British!

I THINK YOU WOULD BE NAMED BRITISH BENGALI'S,,, LIKE I THINK PAKISTANI PEOPLE ARE NAMED, BRITISH PAKISTANI!!!,,,,, OR JUST BRITISH MUSLIM!!!

Hmm. No, Bengali is still a language not a nationality or ethnicity. Like someone whose parents are Irish saying they haven't got Irish nationality so they must be Gaelic. If you haven't got Bangladeshi nationality (ie, you were born over here) then you're British.

WELL BANGLADESH IS COMING BACK ON THE MAP AND IS MORE RECOGNISED AND RESPECTED THEN BEFORE,,,!!

ONE THING THAT I LIKED ABOUT BANGLADESH PEOPLE IS THE FAMILY UNITY, ALL THE FAMILIES STICKING TOGETHER.....

ONE THING I WOULD NOT GO NEAR THE BENGALI COMMUNITY IS THE BLACK MAGIC,THIS IS ACTUALLY VERY VERY POWERFUL AS ITS DONE USING FISH AND THIS TYPE OF MAGIC IS VERY VERY HARD TO STOP,,,,,,,,,

BUT EVERY CULTURE HAS GOOD/BAD POINTS!!!!

CP, REASON I WAS ASKING ABOUT WHY THEY LOOK DIFFERENT IS CUZ, IN PAKISTAN WHEN YOU ARE FROM THE NORTH PART, PEOPLE ARE USUALLY VERY FAIR, BLOND HAIR AND BLUE/GREEN EYES,,,,,,
OTHER PARTS OF PAKISTAN YOU TEND TO KNOW FROM THE FACIAL FEATURES, COMPLEXION BODY TYPE,,,,,,

I have to agree with E-sky, i'm not a Bangladeshi national and therefore i consider myself to be bengali rather than bangladeshi. Plus my parents have never even held a bangladeshi passport as they moved out of that region before Bangladesh was even born. Even still i guess it all adds up to the same thing anyway! I'm still a Bengali Tigress :)

Lol, how patronizing is this journal!?!

actually i always seem to object to being called bangladeshi. surely it is a nationality and not the ethnicity? therefore, since i don't possess a b'deshi passport (let's face it, what would be the point?) i must be bengali?

and apropos of what CP said --- I'm the darkest in my family. everyone else is very fair.

i dont there is a specific look for those from bangladesh although i noticed that many females have turned up eyes... we have a range of skin colour too from very fair to very dark so i wouldn't say she is from another area.. i am the darkest of my sisters and all of us vary in skin colour!

who said i'd kill anyone?

yes a person from bangladesh is bangladeshi.
the language is bengali although known as bangla..

although not officially correct, people most often say someone is 'bengali' rather than 'bangladeshi'. this could come from the bengali word to describe someone from bangladesh - 'bangali'

CP can i ask you a question:

My cousin's wife is Bengali but she is very very fair and looks chinese, usually you can recognise benglai ppl from the facial features,,,,, is she from some other part of Bangladesh!!!
