As always, an absolutely beautiful and interesting video. We have been exploring the Bengali and Italian (specifically Neapolitan) connection (albeit with comedy) for a while now, and have found huge similarities as well. Many of the points you have captured in this video specifically that of art and culture are very valid for the Italian connection as well. The importance of tight family bonding and the respect that the mothers and grandmothers have in an Italian family also is a very strong similarity. We are currently working on a series on similar lines but the other way around “Italians are the Bengalis of Europe”, this is because Europe as a whole can be compared to India w.r.t the fact that cultures, traditions languages change every few hundred kilometers so a state in India can be correlated to a country in Europe. As ardent fans of India in Pixels, we’d go bonkers if you’d agree to collaborate with us and do a deep dive into the Bengali Italian connection as well. What say?

As a Bengali who learned French in school for 5 years, as much as I hated it for all the complexities and inconsistencies French had with its phonetics, I have to admit that I never realised or noticed until now that my own language had just as many phonetical irregularities and inconsistencies as French. Most likely because it's my mother tongue, and it all just comes out naturally for me (same would go for French people). So I just never noticed it, as a native speaker. However, those 5 years of learning French as a foreign language were absolute chaos.

Ashrish, well done on your video! It got me thinking deeply about Bengal's vibrant cultural tapestry. Particularly,of the late 18th-century influx of artists from France. Imagine it as a pre-Instagram era, where portraits served as artistic souvenirs, carrying snapshots of life across continents. But these weren't just any artists. Think French portrait painters catering to British officials, their canvases more than just likenesses - they were threads woven into the very fabric of Kolkata and Bengal. The brushstrokes of influence extended far beyond portraits, though. Landscape artists like the Daniells Uncle-Nephew duo captured India's breathtaking beauty, perhaps inspiring local eyes to see their own place anew. And even French hairstylists left their mark, their innovative techniques adding new threads to Kolkata's fashion tapestry. This artistic migration wasn't just about canvases; it was like an artistic fingerprint pressed onto the city's DNA, influencing everything from hairstyles and cuisine to the very spirit of Kolkata. Thinking about it further, what struck me most was how this cross-cultural exchange transcended time. Even in our age of digital snapshots, I see echoes of those artistic exchanges from long ago. Each photo we share connects us, just like those 18th-century portraits bridged continents. So, thank you, Ashrish, for prompting this journey of exploration.

Now an estimated 172 million native speakers in Bangladesh and 102 million native speakers in West Bengal. Thank you to the people who fought to keep this language alive.

Bro actually Chandanagar was earlier known as "Forashdanga" means banks of the French since the town is located beside the Hooghly river.Also there was a person called Hensman Antony of Portuguese origin popularly known as "Anthony Firingee".There are movies about him with title "Anthony Firingee" and "Jaatishwar". Kolkata's Firingi Kalibaari was made by him.

As a french with Bangladeshi partner, I was so happy to see this video. You were very on point with french language and cultural references, maybe the only thing I do not agree is the video saying Paris is dirtier than New York city, since they grabbed the video during a strike of the garbage collectors where there was a lot of trash outside which usually are not. I enjoyed learning more about Bengali culture and we also felt this conception of shared personality/cultures sometimes with my Bangladeshi partner as we really like to debate, especially about politics, and both know the importance to acknowledge our rights and fight for it if necessary. But maybe I think Bengali culture has more of a poetic touch than French, from what I understood there is a music culture (like people gathering and singing together) which is not so much common in France nowadays. We can sometimes be very direct and some people try to avoid being romantic or poetic. I hope to visit both Bangladesh and India one day, and I will definitely want to see the places you shared in the video!!

[@pratikdutta5438]

There is only one problem, there is actually a vast cultural difference between Bangladeshis and Bengalis from West Bengal! To be honest apart from the language and a few common ingredients in the cuisine, there are no other elements in common. Please visit Kolkata and West Bengal as a whole during your trip to India.

a little correction for you Bangladeshis are not Bengali even ethnically they're Bangladeshi just like Germany because 99% of their people don't even speak Bengali they mainly use Urdu and Arabic with couple of Bengali words and that's not Bengali they just use Bengali script just like all European languages uses Latin script for their respective language you may question how we Indians know that Bangladeshis speak Urdu and Arabic with some distorted Bengali words because India is a multicultural multi lingual country every Indian can understand and speak at least 3 languages generally it becomes more than 3 now coming to the point Hindi and Urdu are very similar and close to each other you don't need to read and write if you can understand and speak one language between one of these two you can speak other 90% of it fluently without any problem and the way majority 99% Bangladeshis speaks with Urdu and Arabic words along with couple of distorted Bengali words no one will consider them as Bengali and most importantly Bangladeshis don't even follow Bengali culture even they don't have any contribution on the development of Bengali language by contributing on Bengali literature. What it was in the past when Bengal was undivided it is now in the pages of history books after partition of Bengal in1947 jump to now we are miles apart the separated part of Bengal now called as Banglades now have completely changed from every aspect whether its from culturally , Ethnically or linguistically because some other external factors causes this transformation on this landmass of separated Bengal/East-Pakistan

As a resident of chandannagar ( Chandernagore in French precisely) i am totally agree with the facts. As it was being the official language of chandernagaore in the french times. Still the culture of French still lingered here. Majority of school and colleges here either have mandetory or selective courses from as early as class 5 . ( Even i took french in school ).Teachers are very supportive here regarding the aspect of learling french here. French tourists come here every year on a cruise like large boat ( that boat covers siteseeing from Calcutta to Bandel it is a government aided tourism boat) Mentioned in the video * . So sometime our french teachers act as guides to them and conversation goes in fullblown parisian french. Even Neline Mondal (here in the video) is a renowned guide here (earlier she was a representative of U.N) . Neline mondal and our teachers of both held a guild of french learners. Chandernagore is full of french monuments and buildings . We have a Christian church, french governors house , french graveyard , two museums , a destroyed fort ( by Britishers, but they had no control over this land) and numerous french architecture. And best of all we have a kilometre long broadwalk ,we call it ( "The Strand" , by french obviously) of full lush green trees and lit by three headed gaslamps from the french era headed just adjacent to the ganges headed towards the 18- 19 th century french buildings. It's a common hangout spot for the people of chanderagore . In the "strand" After the monsoon when the sky is lit by spongy clouds u can feel the pleasant breeze from the ganges, the murmur of trees , it feels like u are in France itself . A feeling of romantic poetic mood would ovewhelm you . If U could manage to get a seat in a benche in strand and u would cherish the feeling being Champs Élysées , avec avenue de Paris. Weird mixture of bengali and french feelings. I am glad i live here, where bengali and french culture blend together. And gave their offerings to the city of Chandernagore, how similar we are, thank u iip!!! ❤ J’espère que ça aide❤ AU REVOIR, MES AMIS !!! ❤😊 😊❤

@@sdg3066 first of all you need to understand the regional linguistic difference of Bengal and your hindi/urdu. Every region has its unique linguistic accent and words like Sylheti, Chattogrami, Dhakaiya, Noakhailla, Cumillaian, Borisailla, Rangpuri and in the west side of BD (like Khulna etc have pure standard bengali accent and words). But in the national standard is sudha(pure) bengali though overall people speak standard bengali with sadhu(old)-colito(new/pure) mixed accents and words. This thing not only happens in BD but also in West Bengal like Uttar Banga, there people also use sadhu(old)-colito(new/pure) mixed accents and words. WB not entirely use pure bengali but in some selective places but it is the standard which established by our noble men. Also, in your hindi region, there are many palaces with different linguistic differences like Awadhi, brajabuli, bihari, Rajasthani, Haryanbhi etc. That does not mean that they are different. Hindi people region wisely use less or more farsi, arabic words. But, I got your point of view about East Bengal(Bangladesh). What can we do man, here muslim people try to use more arabic and farsi words to make Bengali islamic as Pakistani people did to their languages. We bengali hindus still use our native words like jal, snan, baba-ma, dadu-(thamma,didima), masi-musha, kaka-kaki etc. They(islamist) want to make Bangladesh hindu free and try to use less hinduic-Bengali language. They even sometimes disrespect the national anthem because it was written by a hindu writer, and also its a song to praise Bangla mata(mother bengal). They teach the wrong history of the Indian sub-continent, use of more arabic-farsi words, how to convert non-muslims, glorification of Islamic invaders all over the world and etc. to the students in the madrasas and mosques. So, eventually muslim people became anti-hindu from very little age. And try to remove hindu ness from bengali. I hope u understand. 🙏
