			'''Bangal or Bangaal''' ({{langx\|bn\|বাঙ্গাল}}; {{Aka}} '''Purbô Bôngiyô'''; {{Translation\|East Bengali}}) is a term used to refer to the [[Bengali people]] of Eastern Bengal now in [[Bangladesh]], especially from the regions of [[Khulna Division\|Khulna]], [[Barisal Division\|Barisal]], [[Meghna Division\|Faridpur]], [[Dhaka Division\|Dhaka]], [[Rajshahi division\|Rajshahi]], [[Mymensingh Division\|Mymensingh]] and [[Comilla Division\|Comilla]]. The term is used to describe [[Bengalis]] from the east, as opposed to the [[Ghotis]] of western [[Bengal delta\|Delta]], and [[Rarh region]] in [[Western Bengal]], and [[Jharkhand]] of modern [[India]].<ref>{{Cite web\|last=Ghoshal\|first=Somak\|date=2020-02-15\|title=The 'ghoti' versus 'bangal' rivalry in Bengali cinema\|url=https://www.livemint.com/mint-lounge/features/the-ghoti-versus-bangal-rivalry-in-bengali-cinema-11581666936713.html\|access-date=2021-01-03\|website=mint\|language=en}}</ref> It is usually assumed that the [[Brahmaputra River\|Bramhaputra]]-[[Padma River\|Padma]] river system is the demarcation line between the Western and Eastern wings of the [[Bengal region]].

			==Overview==
			Going by the more strict definition, the Bangals are those people whose ancestry is connected to the [[East Bengal\|Eastern Bengal]] plains of Khulna, Jessore, Barisal, Dhaka, Rajshahi, Mymensingh, Comilla and Noakhali. Further, some opinions exist that among the East Bengal Plains origin people, only people belonging to the more affluent economic groups should be classified as Bangal. Going by this opinion, the designation Bangal has an ethno-geographic as well as a social connotation.

			Some of the people from East Bengal, mainly [[Hindu]]s, migrated to West Bengal during the [[Partition of India]] in 1947. These refugees were sometimes referred to as Bangals by the native population of West Bengal. {{citation needed\|date=December 2017}} As such, the terms Ghoti and Bangal are mostly used in West Bengal while in [[Bangladesh]], the usage of these is rare except in regions with relatively high concentrations of immigrants from West Bengal. In modern times, amongst [[Bengalis]], "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 to West Bengal from East Bengal before the Independence of India in1947 are also referred as Ghotis by native population 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. {{citation needed\|date=December 2017}} Bangals and Ghotis keep up their cultural rivalry through their respective support of the football clubs [[East Bengal Club\|East Bengal]] (Bangals) and [[Mohun Bagan]] (Ghotis). They also cherish a rivalry through a claim of the supremacy of their respective cuisines and especially river-food delicacies, i. e., [[Prawn\|Chingri]] (prawn) for Ghotis and [[Ilish]] (hilsa) for Bangals. {{citation needed\|date=December 2017}}
