Then probably the right thing is to create a minimal example which 
contains a few conjuncts (those that don't work, plus a sample of those 
that do).  Then attach the source code for that minimal example--should 
be 10-20 lines at most--to an email to this list.  That's assuming the 
font is free, otherwise it will be difficult for people on this list to 
reproduce the problem.

Given that most of us don't know Bangla, it might also be necessary to 
attach a PDF of the output you got, and maybe also a PDF of the correct 
output (what you get with a word processor).

Note: I have restored Purnendu's original subject line, which got 
changed to "XeTeX Digest..." in the last reply.
