Malaun

Malaun (Bengali: মালাউন) is a pejorative term for Bengali Hindus, most commonly used in Bangladesh by Bengali Muslims. The word is derived from the Arabic "ملعون", meaning "accursed" or "deprived of God's Mercy", and in modern times, it is used as an ethnic slur by the Muslims in Bengal region for Hindus.
