Revision as of 15:45, 26 May 2013
Malaun (Template:Lang-bn) is a derogatory term for a Bengali, most commonly used in Bangladesh. The word is derived from the Arabic "ملعون", meaning 'accursed' or 'deprived of God's Mercy', and in modern times, it became used as an ethnic slur by Muslims in Bengal for Hindus. In a notorious incident during the 1971 Bangladesh atrocities, Pakistani officers addressed Dr. Gobinda Chandra Deb with the term before executing him.
