its a bit of a derogatory term I picked up on the old OG Pk forum when it was being hurled at us gangouse..
means non-meat eater, a veggie, basically
lungi = bangla person, also kida rude lmao
chaddi = rss bhakt, also used disparagingly
'jholadhaari' is another once, though sadly, not as common in usage.. it means commie students, generally from, JNU or some such heavily left leaning universities where those students often have a 'jhola' bag
lol
Jholas were quite in vogue for Bengali commies of all stripes, artists, philosophy students some of whom I'm sure went JNU.
But they were all the rage in Kolkata University circles about two decades ago even.
The fall of the Soviet Union was the death knell of the Jholadharies who then traded the Jholas for laptop bags and IT Backoffice careers around Newtown in Kolkata. Newtown is now full of IT Backoffice workplaces with some interesting architecture. The trend of putting alphabet cladding on buildings actually started in Dhaka some years ago.
