Bengal, home of the Bengali people.
One half, eastern Bengal makes up the country of Bangladesh literally Land of the Bengali. The other half makes up the state of West Bengal and parts of Tripura and Assam in India.
Divided by borders since 1947 Bengalis still share a common history, food, culture, and language that they are immensely proud of and have died to protect.
There are roughly 300 million Bengalis worldwide, making them the world’s 3rd largest ethno-lingustic group.
About 283 million of them live in Bengal, a small area of just 239,000km2. Just 1 half of Bengal, Bangladesh is the 11th most densely populated country on Earth and every country above it is a microstate. There are more Bengalis in this spot than there are people in all of Russia, Brazil, or Mexico.
Bengal is a thriving hub of people and culture, with a history stretching over millennia and across oceans, filled with daring conquests, magnificent architecture, and delicious food. In what was once the richest country in the world. Join me as we figure out who are the Bengalis, why is Bengal separated, and what exactly is a duckupine?
Well, let’s find out!

Get Nebula using my link for 40% off an annual subscription: go.nebula.tv/cogito Watch Modern Conflicts exclusively on Nebula: nebula.tv/modernconflicts?ref=cogito ONLY IN SEPTEMBER: Get a lifetime membership to Nebula for only $300: go.nebula.tv/lifetime?ref=cogito MORE ON LIFETIME MEMBERSHIPS: For the month of September Nebula is offering a lifetime membership deal. The deal is you pay $300 once and get access to Nebula forever, no matter what, no takesy backsies. This isn’t the most economical deal, the annual subscription for $30 a year is. So if you want the best deal I’d go with that. This deal is for those of you that want to support creators and what we’re trying to achieve with Nebula. We want to make a platform that is creator owned, with Original smart highly produced content. We want to build a platform that isn’t about generating clicks no matter what. Recently Nebula has been laser focussing on Nebula Original, highly produced content that’s only on Nebula and would normally be beyond the budget for normal creators to make. Lifetime memberships are a great way to fund those projects right now. Nebula already has a healthy amount of monthly and yearly subscribers which means as a platform we don’t need to take on any outside funding or answer to predatory investors. Everything the platform makes goes into paying the creators, producing content, and improving the platform. Lifetime memberships are a way for us to get a lump sum without sacrificing Nebula’s independence. The Originals that have been created so far are already impressive, so I’m really looking forward to seeing what is possible with a bigger budget and even though I haven’t produced an Original yet, the possibilities they present are incredible and I have a ton of topics I know could only work as Nebula Originals. We’re also significantly improving the quality of the Nebula app. For example, we just added support for LG TVs and Roku this year. When you sign up for a lifetime membership, your payment get split 3 ways. First, part of your membership goes directly to the creator, me. Another amount goes towards fixing bugs and adding features to Nebula. And lastly it goes to funding Nebula Originals. The money that makes these projects possible comes directly from the people who sign up to Nebula, our customers are the investors and so the platform answers to them and their desires rather than a boardroom. I care about Nebula. I care about its success. I love the team behind it and think we’re doing incredible work. The safety it provides me and this channel is invaluable. If you believe in it too and want to be a part of its success for years to come and a Nebula Lifetime Membership sounds interesting click here go.nebula.tv/lifetime?ref=cogito . This is for the people that truly care about what we’re building here and want to support it beyond the regular subscription. For most of you though the annual $30 a year subscription is still the best deal and you’ll get access to everything Nebula has to offer through that deal and this channel will still get a part of that too. No matter what choice you go with, I appreciate you watching!

Tagore is the most well-known and beloved Indian writer in Korea because he expressed active solidarity with Koreans when Korea was under Japanese imperialist rule. His poem is taught in textbooks, and there is a bronze bust of him in Daehagro, the center of literature and theater (where Tagore's plays are often performed as well) and it's often decorated with fresh garlands. The founder/director of the Indian Museum fell in love with Indian and Bengal culture through her love of Tagore's works. I haven't read all of his works (please cut me some slack, there's just too many), just some poems and short stories and plays, but each time it amazes me how beautifully written and also perceptive and progressive (even by today's standards) they are. I enjoyed how the Netflix movie Bulbul included not only Bengali folklore, but also references to Tagore's works. I will definitely read Gora (and Rokeya Hossain's works!) after watching this video.

I am a bengali people from West Bengal. My sub caste is Namasudra, a worrior and most hard working community among Begali peoples. A major part of our community seems to be converted themselves into Islam specially at the time of Mughal empiror great Akbor. Previously Bengali were followers of Bhuddism. At that time there was no castism in Bengal. All time great bhuddist scholar GREAT ATISH DIPANKAR was born on this land . I think he had an idea about radio acitivity. Bhuddism was destroyed by brutal Hindu kings of Sen dynasty. They established brutal Cast system here in Bengal. And Begali peoples began to decline morally and its brutal lagacy still continue. Begali trapped themselves into different kinds of superstitions and ill customs like widow sacrifice and Norobali and child sacrifice to river goddess Ganga and so many. After Sen dynasty ISLAM began to rule Begal. A major portion of Hindu bengalis converted into Islam. Then came the British with scientific tempertment. They stopped different kind of ill customs of hindu bengalis here by strict laws. Muslim and Hindus has been fighting here for decades and cut one another into pieces. Irony is that genitically both are from same ethinicity.

Had literal goosebumps I am a Bengali from Bangladesh but I liked how you didn't focus on Bangladesh or West Bengal, rather represented the entire history, culture as a whole which is exactly what we are. We may be divided by borders, but are Bengalis wherever we may be. Also incredibly accurate considering the time limitations I always felt like Bengali history and culture isn't as represented at the world stage as it should be but this was incredible These last three centuries hasn't been the best but may we rise again as a secular, peaceloving, developed nation and people.

I am a Bengali(from Bangladesh) living in Germany. Your video almost brought me to tears at some point. Bengal has fallen from the richest part of the world to the poorest economy in early 1970's. Which started mid-18th century with the start of British rule and then Pakistanis. I wish wish Bengal was never divided. Kudos to you for this thorough video. And I can say from my knowledge you are spot on. Great job to the editor/production team. This is very well made. I can imagine how hard it can be to produce a video of this quality starting from research to final product. To people all over the world, Bengali Language is the sweetest. And our food is also one of the best if not the best in my humble opinion. After trying food from almost all over the world.

As a Bangladeshi, this video made me cry so much. The people of my country went through so much suffering to defend the country I live in so lavishly. I will never forget the sacrifice of the people of Bengal. Without their sacrifice, none of us would be able to be free. I see my classmates and even elders make fun of and hate on my country because we are “poor and underdeveloped.” The only thing that matters to Bangladeshi people is Religion. It is heartbreaking to see how much beautiful culture we have ignored because of our focus on religion. I only wish that one day they will realise what Bangladesh has become and how much culture and history there is behind every single thing here. One thing I admire about India is how proud they are of both their country and religion simultaneously. I only wish for that to happen in Bangladesh as well.

Yeah ppl now focus on the religious aspects nd tends forget bout the rich history nd culture which is our tru core.

There are a province/state in India called WEST BENGAL shares it's border line with the independent country BANGLADESH. Before August 1947, when India was undivided, Bangladesh means both Bangladesh and west bengal. The country now is known as Bangladesh since 1971 actually known was East Bengal. Later known as East Pakistan. In Bangladesh most people are Muslims when in West Bengal most people are Bengali. Men wear long/short Kurti with jeans/trousers/pajamas but formally wear shirts where women wear traditionally cotton/silk/jamdani sarees and casually wear salwar kamij/ kurti trousers. Dhakai Jamdani/bengali tant/kantha stitch/baluchori are popular work for fabrics. Women usually wear gold or terra cotta ornaments, sometimes pearls. Comparing rest of India, Bengalies prefer light coloured outfit and less ornaments. Shantiniketan in Bolpur is a popular place in West Bengal. Pronunciation is different in Bangladesh, Tripura and West Bengal people. In Kolkata people speak most formal Bengalies. Many Bengalis in both Bengal are secular comparing other South Asians. Unfortunately, common Bengali's income are less comparing other races in South India.
