- you know you are a Bangladeshi if you are aged 20-40, male and "ছিল্লা কাইট্টা লবণ লাগাইয়া দে" is part of your lexicon.
- you know you are a Bangladeshi If you are 40+ you probably still refer to "একাত্তুরের গন্ডগোল্"
- you know you are a Bangladeshi if you frequently engage numerous table thumping discussions on BAL/BNP/Jamaat and loudly proclaim your patriotism even while the Zee TV awards are playing on your TV in the background
- you know you are Bangladeshi when you go to a দাওয়াত and get upset if there is not at least two meat dishes. (Follow on - if the Dawat happens to be at a non-Bengali south asian's house, no doubt some stereotyping about কিপ্টা so-and-sos will be muttered)

- When you're not at all bothered by corruption, class violence or general injustice at home, but go all gung ho about injustice in other countries.

- When you feel the urge to make yourself feel better by putting other Bangladeshis down.

[Ganguly da]

a lot of these facts apply to all bongs, west or east...

[Sohel]

On a positive note ...

- When you hear certain songs being sung by someone meant to sing them, and feel something resonate deep inside your soul and brings you right down to your knees. Overwhelmed by unexpected tears of pride, joy and blissful awareness of the roots you never knew were behind the strange longing you could never quite figure out, you suddenly feel who you are and the fact that you don't want to be anything else. Hear an angel sing songs like this, an angel who is made of the same stuff as we are: -

From this ...

- When you expect self loathing, wannabe White, genuinely kyat elements of the Bangladeshi nouveau riche to understatnd what Sukumar Roy meant by the term tyansh goru, or who the man is for that matter ... I'm talking about this, and whatever it's trying to represent: -

-You know you're Bangladeshi when the act of paying attention to details is often secondary to taking creative liberties with rudimentary grammar and spelling.
