Punjabis and Bengalis are both races but they are not the same. A Punjabi will feel offended if you call him a Bengali, and vice versa.

Punjabis are from Punjab, Bengalis are from Bengal, which are 2000-3000 miles apart.

Most Punjabis are Sikhs/Muslims/Hindus, whereas Bengalis are usually Hindus.

Totally different race, different language, different culture to begin with.

I'm Punjabi btw.
