I’ve never personally come across a Bangladeshi who’s been bothered about it

Bangladeshis aren’t particularly nationalistic or tribal, they don’t tend to care about that sort of thing.. Obviously if they did they wouldn’t be giving their kids Hindu/Indian first names or nicknames, which many if not most still do nowadays.. They’re not bothered by the fact they had Hindu ancestors..

There are exceptions, especially among people from the region of Sylhet, but the name thing is a good indicator of the general mindset of the average Bangladeshi imo

I have come across lot of Bengalis but havent seen even a sinlge muslim Bengali with Hindu first name. Rather they have their own peculiar muslims names which are often compund. Like Minhajul, Shamsul etc
