The stereotype of the typical Bengali character is probably Lalmohan Ganguly from Feluda: childishly earnest, stuffed with trivia but curiously inept, uncoolness going through the roof while being ultimately good-natured. Probably an artist of some kind. Strangely both skeptical and gullible at the same time. Usually cowardly, but capable of pulling himself together when it really counts.
Huh. I never thought of myself as Bengali.

We always need more of us even in Bengal.
