Bangla Pokkho (pronounced [ˈbaŋla ˈpɔkʰːo]) is a pro-Bengali advocacy organisation that focuses on rights for Bengalis in the Republic of India.[1] Based on Bengali nationalism, it works against the enforcing of the Hindustani language in West Bengal. It is organised along linguistic lines and is aimed at protecting Bengali culture. It uses the state slogan "Joy Bangla".[2]
