Type: tertiary — a popular-genre crowdsourced word database ("700+ untranslatable words by 80+ languages and 60+ tags," built, per the site's own claim, "in 24 hours"), not an edited or peer-reviewed reference. Stance: credulous/promotional, the plainest "untranslatable words" popular-genre artifact this project has filed for this word.

Extract

Entry for Obhimaan (অভিমান), tagged Bengali: "Anger, or something close to it, at being upset with a loved one" — described further as "a temporary expression of a feeling about a loved one that he or she is supposed to address," tagged with the site's own categories "adverse" and "feeling." This wording is close enough to the 2010 Telegraph India quote reproduced secondhand in Mukherjee & Das (2018) ("The original meaning was pride, but the current usage — anger, or something close to it...") to suggest this popular-database entry itself derives from that same newspaper quote, rather than independent lexicographic research — a genre-sourcing pattern (a popular database entry tracing to a single quoted newspaper line) this project has not previously documented this explicitly.
A second, related Bengali entry on the same page: "Abhisar" (অভিসার) — "a meeting (often secret) between lovers/partners" — a different word, not otherwise pursued this session, noted here only because it appeared adjacent to obhimaan in the same database query.

The database gives no citation for its own definition, and this project cannot independently confirm whether it derives from the Telegraph India quote (suspected, per above) or was independently written.
As a single-contributor, 24-hour crowdsourced project, this source's editorial reliability is unverified; it is filed here strictly as an instance of the popular "untranslatable words" genre treating this word, not as a lexicographic authority.
