You forgot to use past tense when your painting your glory.Actually we have enough self respect.
I think some people are wondering what we are busy doing. We Bengalis are busy winning Nobel Prizes and composing the national anthems and songs for the nation.
The Jana Gana Mana was composed by Kobiguru R. Tagore and Vande Mataram was taken from Bankim Chandra`s Anandamath. Both were originally written in Bengali.
As for the topic of religion,one should never take it into consideration while judging an ethnicity. Btw we had the greatest reformer of Hinduism,Shri Chaitanya Mahapravu.
Sadly Chaitanyadev was murdered by a group of dim witted ,jealous and potbellied evil Oriya Puri Pandas.
Now for self respect and other such vague terms that had been thrown into this debate. Well if Oriyas had some self respect they should not be singing the national anthem and national song composed by Bengalis in the Bengal language.

I am not picking fight with you.
I am just pointing the fact. Before independence, bengal is kind of heart to much more hearty patriotic activities. Then it was like disappeared from face of planet.
What the fcuk happened to it?
