[edit] Bengali?

Was he Bengali or Assamese? The article suggests he was Assamese, while the category marks him as Bengali. --Ragib (talk) 17:12, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

He was born in Assam, studied in Hare School etc. and worked in Calcutta. Whether he can be called Bengali or not, I am not sure, but he was 'Bengali Actor' for sure, as he acted in Bengali films.GDibyendu (talk) 17:16, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I think there needs to be a distinction between "Actors who are Bengali by ethnicity", and "Actors who acted in Bengali-language films". Category:Bengali actors actually refers to the former, so probably Barua does not count considering his Bengali film career. Consider Mithun Chakrabarty - he is a Bengali actor (by ethnicity) working (mainly) in Hindi films. --Ragib (talk) 17:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Agreed with the point. Removed him from Category:Bengali actors. But, Mithun acts in Bengali films also. GDibyendu (talk) 17:31, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
