Well, here goes typical Ghoti mentality. You guys took WB back to stone ages. Anybody non Ghoti is welcome back in Bangladesh if they could tolerate the crowd
Dear Sir from purilia, I was born and brought up in Calcutta, if that makes a difference! :s
u were questioning my national identity and nw i got u into troubles,i would stop right here as i know where and when to stop an argument contrary to a typical Non ghoti..
Can anyone explain what is this "Ghoti Vs Bengali" fuss all about.?
Amongst the high-caste Bengali Hindus, "Bangal" and "Ghoti" are used as social sub-groups. Those whose families came from East Bengal at the time of Partition are Bangals and those whose families were staying in West Bengal at that time are Ghotis.Similarly the people who came West Bengal from East Bengal Before the Independence of India,1947 are also known as Ghotis as they were staying in West Bengal, India at the time of Independence. The term as used here has little relation to actual geography, since most members of these groups all now live in India. Historically, in addition to marrying within their castes, people from these groups also preferred to marry within the group, whether Bangal or Ghoti.
Bangals and Ghotis keep up their cultural rivalry through their respective support of the football clubs East Bengal (Bangals) and Mohun Bagan (Ghotis). They also cherish a rivalry through claim of supremacy of their respective cuisines and especially river-food delicacies, i. e., Chingri (prawn) for Ghotis and Ilish (hilsa) for Bangals.
