It's ‘bangla' Not ‘bengali' Poem by Md. Ziaul Haque
It's ‘bangla' Not ‘bengali'
If Hindi is ‘Hindi' in Hindi,
If Hindi is Hindi in English,
Then Bangla should be ‘Bangla' in English,
It should not be ‘Bengali'.
I find it rather insulting,
When it comes to the pronunciation,
Of the very word in question,
It's high time we realised this thing.
Our mother tongue is ‘Bangla' not Bengali,
It must be maintained by each one certainly.
