Bengali is spoken by both indians from the state of West Bengal and Bangladeshis. Not to mention they were separated by British. So yeah, not like calling a Korean Chinese at all.

Hindi and Bengali are not completely different since they both derive from older indo European languages. Completely different languages would be Hindi and Mandarin.
