Re: (Funny)
in india we dont use word banda in that context. even bandagi means "association" even though in strict terms it means what you said.
it very common in india to say "ek banda" instead of "one man" . basically banda means an human entity in common language.. thats what we say and thats what it shows in movie. btw in some states they say "ek jana", "ek tho aadmi" etc etc... i am ek banda from jaipur but i am not muslim. you are ek bandi and i met you on GS. those are some examples of usage of those terms in india.
indians got their facts right. different things mean differently in different regions. and that is fact for us.
you cannot translate something for others whose context you cannot understand. you need to trust an indian for that.
Okay, you might be correct but this is all Just CONFUSING for many.
