• List of commonly used words that might make one distinguish between a Bengali Hindu and a Bangladeshi. An expert trainer lists Phrases in Roman English, Indic Bengali and Bangladeshi Bengali.

Part 1 by Author - Despite the fact that there are eight dialects and manifold sub-dialects in Bengali Language, the list comprises words that differentiate between Bengali language speakers of both sides of India-Bangladesh international border or the basic differences between Hindus and Muslim.

If a Hindu from Bangladesh enters India, the concerned individual tries best to be with the Indian style, while a Muslim infiltrator prefers to retain his own style. Even if Muslims try to follow the Indian style, often they continue with their own style. Infiltrators may be formally trained to avoid detection.

We present some commonly used words in attached PDF. This was made after rigorous study. Extracts below.

Part 3 - Notes by Editor

In West Bengal, Bengali is also spoken by non-Bengalis. So is easy to identify between an Indian and an infiltrator. Off the West Coast, a Bengali friend from the Indian Navy could on hearing the spoken words state the private boat team had Bangladeshis on it.

Indians outside of West Bengal should refer to how sentences are framed/words used (both given above) to distinguish between a Hindu and Infiltrator. There are finer points for which the Expert can conduct a customised Training Program.

Ability to distinguish based on language arises in North, Central and West India where Hindustani is spoken for e.g. most people use word Pani for water and not Jal. Read Hindustani is what we speak today, NOT Hindi

So to identify an infiltrator, one has to look at style of speaking and conduct.

So, what is Hindustani?

Simply put Hindustani = Hindi + Urdu AND Urdu = Persian and Arabic, even though it originated in India.

Impact on non-Hindi speaking states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Odisha

People in these states pick up spoken Hindi more from Bollywood and TV serials/news. Since they speak Hindustani people adopt language thinking they are speaking Hindi. Mind out Hindustani has no script. In Telangana, Urdu is spoken widely one so can identify more by style of speaking rather than words.

Read, reflect and decide. If you have a different point of view feedback welcome.
