Dating a Bong? These will help you win their parents over

Bengalis or ‘Bongs’ are more than just maach, mishti, and Rabindro shongeet. You might relate this better if you happen to be going out with a Bong partner. It is an experience to discover the beauty of the community through your partner’s Bengliana. From out of the box cuisine to their love for literature, Bengalis even have their own football teams which not everyone knows about. However, if you want to take things further with your mishti partner, then it can only happen through their parents. Usually, Bengali parents can be sweet as a sondesh but, when it comes to the topic of dating and relationship, they can change their avatar in seconds, exceptions are there. To create a good impression on your future in-laws you MUST avoid these topics on your first meet.

02/5Never say no to fish, or any other meat

Never say no to fish, or any other meat

Bengalis are hardcore meat lovers. Even a Brahmin Bengali family can’t spend their Sundays without relishing on magshor jhol (meat curry) and bhaat (steamed rice), or some prefer luchi. Fish is their favourite by default. If you’re a vegetarian or can’t tolerate the smell of fish, better keep your thoughts to yourself.

Don’t say a word against Kolkata

Not every Bengali is from Kolkata or West Bengal, however, the place being their ultimate root means a lot to the community. Least you want to fall into their bad books for criticising Kolkata or its culture. Instead, show some interest in visiting the city of joy, may be during Durga puja.

DO NOT mess with Dada

Sourav Ganguly is the ultimate icon for every Bengali. If you don’t agree with it, it's wise to avoid the topic completely. Talking sports with a Bengali dad must only be done with thorough research and knowledge. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

05/5Avoid Political views

Avoid Political views

You might be socialist, liberal, democratic or a conservative, but a Bong parent can either be communist or a supporter of ‘Didi’. Why to take a chance and sacrifice your love life for ideologies? Keep your polical views away from your personal matters.
