What if a bhaiya congrats another bhaiya or a gujju to another gujju or a ghati to another ghati or to one gulti to another gulti or to one tamil to another tamil-what would you say they are non-Indians? Open eyer eyes and think that India is an unifications of a number of states bearing different cultures and languages. I am not Bong but I feel no regrets if a bong celebreates the success of another bong.Better you change yourself.

Buddu and Chander - Oh yeah !! Is that right ? Since when sara hindustan become so united and the people of the whole of India started thinking in the same frequency ? All the Indians associate themselves to their own communities more than they do to the universal non-existant common Indian identity - just face it or at least be truthful about it. Just do not start bashing Bongs for congratulating each other for their accomplishments- Tamils , Telegus, Gujaratis,Punjabis all do that all the time. This is how we Indians are. Being close to our communities makes us even more Indian at heart. Please try to understand that.

First of all , the word "Bong" is deragotory- same like Ghatis for Marathis and Gultu for Telegus , Punjus for Punjabis, list could go on.
It is true, Bengalis think differently and accept everybody else Indians as their own( which every other state does not). It is time to break that habit and become unified to combat Bengali Bashing .

Chander, I think you are misled, the intent is to congratulate and inspire her for this great breakthrough. You should inspire her in the same way as an Indian rather than criticising me.
