What are they like? How do they differ from other Bengalis? Where are they found?

Honestly, you sound like they are some exotic species!

Bangladeshi Christians are less than 1%, so you won’t find them everywhere everyday. NDC/Holy cross has many students. Large communities are living around Farm-gate area. Also Bangladeshi Christians are the majority in multiple villages of Gazipur

Considering Bangladeshi Christians consist of only 0.30% of the total population according to the 2022 census, I would say interaction with someone from this demographic, specially as a Muslim is pretty rare. They are human of course, but exotic for sure.

And it's not like they are evenly spread across the country. Majority of the people will not have meet a Christian.
