I initially thought this is a silly reason. If there are Sikhs in Bengal, and some of them came to Malaya. Why did we call them Bengali when (1) most Bengalis in Bengal are not Sikhs (2) most Sikhs in Malaya did not come from Bengal.
Maybe that's what they called themselves.

I'm a Sikh myself and often misunderstood as a Bengali. Well its two different thing. My Chinese friends are the ones misunderstood this. Well you should tell them. At times, I do feel irritated too 
people should really know the difference.
Bengali comes from Bangladesh and India. They speak Bengali unlike Sikh which speaks Punjabi and Hindi (If I'm not wrong)
So can you tell Cantonese from Hokkien? people should really know the difference.Bengali comes from Bangladesh and India. They speak Bengali unlike Sikh which speaks Punjabi and Hindi (If I'm not wrong)
