Answer is no. Bangladeshis is the correct term for Bangladeshis, why ? Because in India we also have Begalis or Bangalis but they are not Bangladeshi by country. West Bengal, Assam, Tripura are in India and Indian Bengalis or Bangalis are living there and Hindus (Majority) . And Bangladeshi are Bengali speaking Muslims .
Indians ( Bengalis / Bangalis) = India ( Country) + Bangla ( Language) + Hindus ( Religion, majority) .
Bangladeshi ( Bengalis / Bangalis) = Bangladeshi ( Country) + Bangla ( Language) + Muslims ( Religion, majority).
It is like
Australians = English ( Language)
Americans = English ( Language)
One Bangladeshi should call himself /herself Bangladeshi. Better than calling Bengali or Bangalis. Bangladeshi itself means we speak Bangla.
