Don't say Dakhar or Khanbang :this is not proper

This morning I received an endorsement of an appeal made to local tribals of Meghalaya by Padmashree Patricia Mukhim requesting them to deal with non tribals in a more dignified manner and not to call them with  derogatory remarks.
The overall theme was this in her essay and I desire to make some addition here.

01. Non tribal in Meghalaya has highest inhabitation  and density of Bengalee people who are treated by local people in different way in socio-cultural society. For example,  locals strongly believe that since they are mostly Christian  by faith and as such they tilted more to Western culture and these bengalee cannot mingle with the culture they have. Local people have a pretty determined Idea on bengali culture.

02.When they think about music and film they think bengali would be in tabla, harmonium and sitar only and local will be in guitar,  mandolin,  and drum set etc.But how many of them know of Nandan Bagchi the best drummer in India when Eddie Rynjah was in his helm in late sixties of last century.  Nandan is bengali.  Again late Ravi sankar and his daughters Nora Jones and Aonuska sankar gave this world more musical extravaganza than their prodigal "Farengs"  who play guitar. Harmonium is a German musical instrument  and violin also from Italy which bengali play.

02.Local has not seen bengali listening Ed Sheeran or playing their fingers on reeds of a piano. This is not their fault. The local bengali has forgotten this part of culture from their life by receiving repeated threat of their life and property since last 50 Years.  They are afraid to  go and watch any concert or live music in cities of Meghalaya due to long lasted fear psychosis of being manhandled by locals in many occasions in past. Through this write up,  I want to remind local indigenous Petit of Meghalaya  that they are wrong. Bengali are most culturally rich in country probably may be compared only with French.

03. Bengali also watch Hollywood movies and other movies of European countries.It is not they do not understand the language or culture of Hollywood, but in recent past they are afraid to go and watch good English movies due to the same reason they avoid to go to concerts.

04. Bengali are most food lovers than any Indians. How many of local people are aware of a proper Fareng dinner style and manners? How many of you know the number of pieces of cutleries in an English dinner is 26? How many courses of dinner are generally have in a proper Fareng dinner? Bengali are first to learn all these etiquette and manner before all because British first settled in Bengal. But,  due to many adversities in their life many of them forgot this in this part of country.

05.  I again apprise that, average Bengali are properly educated in all respects at par with average local people if not more  and it is a proven fact.  So,  I would put a request to all local indigenous people of Meghalaya to change their mindset and please treat them in a better dignified manner.

Thank you.
