DISCLAIMER: Some of these books seem to be by Bengali authors who are from India but were born in modern-day Bangladesh; therefore, I aimed to represent the Bangladeshi cultural diaspora, please therefore, give me some grace! Nonetheless, I would love to hear any further information people have in their comments so that I may be as respectful as possible in this sensitive area.
