Bengalis
Calcutta's ethnic group
Bengalis are people from Bengal, a region in South Asia divided between Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal.
The term refers both to the ethnic group and to speakers of Bengali, one of the world's most widely spoken languages.
The Bengalis in our neighborhood celebrate Durga Puja every autumn.
Bengali culture is known for its literary tradition, cuisine, and music.
