Bengalis are known for their food delicacies, their intellects have always made the country proud. Strong participants during the struggle and revolution before independence were the people of Bengal. To bring change and fight against the Swati, widow remarriage was started by the Bengalis. Over time the achievements are not only appreciated but they still dwell in nostalgia.

Bengalis are also famous as the most talkative and lazy community. Maybe after the French, they rank among the foodie and comfort-loving lifestyles. If not seeking a luxurious and comfortable cozy house but a soft bed is enough for an afternoon nap. Apart from several flaws, Bengalis are knowledgable and intelligent people with different memories related to each generation. Bengalis feel proud at the same time cherish each moment of success, hard work, and sacrifice but dwell in nostalgia as a culture.

Pride Bengalis dwell in the nostalgia of Tagore and Ray

One of the ever-known poets is Rabindranath Tagore. His dedication during the freedom fight were an inspiration and strength for the fighters. It is the reason he is known as the Bard of Bengal, even after several decades his birth anniversary is celebrated in each street of Bengal. The first Nobel Prize winner in the Bengal community that the community still celebrates with pride every year. Satyajit Ray and his movies are ever after Evocative.

Long chats and gossip over a cup of tea

No day gets away without the “rock adda”. It is a culture that is in the blood, early morning tea at the nearest tea stall or an afternoon the Adda can start anytime and at any corner of the street. Apart from the regular tea stall Adda, Kolkata’s Coffee house is an iconic place in Kolkata. Over decades this place has been an energizer for the Adda and their people.

Freedom fighters

Bengali renaissance has influenced the culture and community. Even after years of Independence, they are remembered as history. Different ways implemented intellectual revolution made them the leaders. To fight against the British India company Bengal was the pioneer. The social reformers apart from Tagore were Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Physicist Satyendra Nath Bose.

Bengalis still are divided into East Bengal and West Bengal

Although the countries Bangladesh and India has been separated a long time ago. But even after years, Bengalis are obsessed over football matches when between East Bengal and Mohan Bagan. Football is not only a sport but also the deep hidden history of culture and country sentiments. Bangal and Ghoti, Bangladesh, and West Bengal are separated.

The Bengali dwells in nostalgia but with literature

There are famous poets in Bengal, they are Sarat Chandra, Bankim Chandra, Michael Madhusudan Dutta, and Kazi Nazrul Islam. They have made the West Bengal and the people live with literature. It does not matter, If whether a businessman or engineer literature is their need for wisdom and knowledge.

Intellectual Bengalis may travel to any part of the world. But once they introduce themselves they are believed and recognized to be from the “Land of freedom fighters and Tagore”.

Bengali – Bengalis are a foodie, Bengalis are creative, also Bengalis are intelligent but the so-called intelligence vanishes instantly when it is “FOOTBALL”.

They are extremely obsessed about football, this outdoor sport is close to their soul and they can give up anything, yes anything on this sports.

Football is a common game but supported by two categories of Bengalis and being a Bengali we define it as Elish and Chingri (Hilsa and Prawn). Both are the most delicious preparation of the Bengalis which is the favorite of all Bengalis.

But why the difference between Hilsa and Prawn?

Hilsa denote the Mohan Bagan while the Prawns denotes the East Bengal! But at any no means if one dish is offered to the other then neither is going to deny because of the bhaat maach, foodie nature of Bengali, no matter Mohan Bagan or East Bengal.

This rivalry of East Bengal and Mohan Bagan started from football popular as Kolkata Derby; this obsession has divided Bengalis into two:

East Bengal football club is a 98 years old football club being the champions in football leagues for three times, 2001, 2003, 2004, in recent Guess Corp Ltd has signed an agreement, investing on East Bengal can help in the development of the football in the country.

While Mohan Bagan, the strongest football team of India has won the I league and the National Football League three times, 16 times the Durand Cup  and IFA shield for almost 22 times. Mohan Bagan has a large support for the team along with the fans who have been supporting Mohan Bagan to the extreme, that they are obsessed about football.

Both the football team play on the field but the entire Bengalis are seen to face this rivalry watching football, not only in the stadium, every street can find clutters watching the match in a tea stall or groups of Bengalis in the television.

Bengali Movies on Football.

Dhanyee Meyer: A movie with fine strikes of humor together describing the football and the madness it carries within the soul of the Bengalis. Rabi Ghosh, one of the best actor of Bengali movies, famous Bollywood actress Jaya Bhaduri and the evergreen Uttam Kumar starring in this movie, outrageous casting of this particular movie is still loved by the Bengalis no matter young or old, specially the song “tumi football”.

Other movies on football are Mohanbaganer meye and Egaro are two of the movies that have shown the passion for football lovers.

Bengalis are diversified when it comes to football but their passion is similar for  a single reason, football. The everlasting war between the two teams has been since years and it will run for years; no matter if you eat prawns instead of Hilsa or vice versa. Bengalis are fish lovers, fish and food can be shared but no one can divert their mind from their admiring team.

Mohan Bagan or East Bengal though they are on field three times a year whenever the rivalry between them is everlasting.
