Bengal is strange for some Europeans (8)
I believe the answer is:
belgians
'some europeans' is the definition.
(Belgian is an example)
'bengal is strange' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bengal'+'is'='bengalis'
'bengalis' is an anagram of 'BELGIANS'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for belgians that I've seen before include "Natives of Antwerp, say" , "Nationality of citizens of Liege" , "Nationality of natives of Brussels" , "Singable citizens of Brussels" .)
