Their country their decision but if West Bengal is called Bangla then its the same thing as Bangladesh. Indians will say Bangla is a state of India. Others will confuse it and think Bangladesh is state of India.

West Bengal to be called Bangla: Assembly clears name change, needs Centre’s approval

The West Bengal Assembly passed a resolution on Thursday to change the state’s name to Bangla.

The West Bengal assembly on Thursday unanimously passed a resolution, recommending that the state be renamed Bangla, following up on a two-year-old effort to move the state up the alphabetical order of India’s states. The state government will now forward the proposal to the Centre, which notifies new names of places including states.

Chief minister Mamata Banerjee told the assembly that the Centre had recently informed the state that it can accept only one name. The Centre’s response came after the state government wrote to it in August 2016 suggesting three names: Bangla (in Bengali), Bengal (English) and Bangal (Hindi). The assembly chose Bangla.

“Although we sent the proposal a long ago, the Union government decided to sit on it. They recently sent a communication, advising us to choose one name instead of three. We do not want any controversy on this issue. We have decided to choose Bangla. Let the resolution be passed unanimously,” Banerjee told the assembly.

The state government first proposed the renaming in 2016. West Bengal parliamentary affairs minister Partha Chatterjee had then argued for the change saying bureaucrats and politicians from the state often complain that they are asked to speak at the end of every national-level meeting in Delhi. This was because the speakers’ lists at such meeting are prepared according to alphabetical order of the states they represent.

“If West Bengal gets the new name, it will leapfrog from bottom of the list to the top of the pecking order,” he had said in August 2016 when the Assembly cleared the three names.

The renaming will help the state appear at the fourth spot after Arunachal Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Assam in the alphabetic order of the states.

Orissa became Odisha in 2011, but that was just a de-anglicisation of the state’s name. Madras was renamed Tamil Nadu in 1969 and Mysore, Karnataka in 1973, but those also involved re-organisation of territories. This is perhaps the first time a state is changing its name to get ahead in the pecking order.

Historian Rajat Kanta Ray cautioned against the problems that the renaming was likely to cause. “The change will also create problems in all spheres of academics and literature including poetry, prose, sociology philosophy, political science and history. It would have been better if the proposal had not been passed,” said Ray, a former Visva-Bharati University vice-chancellor.

Pabitra Sarkar, a former Bengali professor at the Chicago University, said the name Bangla will create avoidable confusion with Bangladesh. “Abroad, many refer to Bangladesh simply as Bangla,” said Sarkar.

Ray and Sarkar said Paschimbanga, the state’s present name in Bengali, was a better choice.

Theatre director Debesh Chatterjee said he likes the new name. “It takes us closer to Bangladesh.”

West Bengal’s most popular writer Mani Shankar Mukherjee welcomed the new name. “The other side of the border is now Bangladesh. Where is the problem if this side is simply called Bangla? I have no problem since it was a unanimous decision,” said Mukherjee.

The name of the state’s capital, which served as British India’s seat of power until 1911, was changed from Calcutta to Kolkata in January 2001.

West bengal and Bangladesh can never be one country. One is hindu majority and another is muslim majority. If greater bengal project becomes successful then there will be widespread riots between hindus and muslims and millions will die. Bangladesh is better off being independent while West bengal is better off with India. It is a bogus idea to join these two states into one.

Annexing West Bengal or Bengal will be a liability for Bangladesh. The region has lower per capita gdp then Bangladesh (WB - 1600 USD vs BD - 1724 USD) but comes with 100 million population. Bangladesh should focus on annexing or by giving autonomy north east India as the region has lower density of population and number of Muslim is rising. It won’t be difficult to bring the tribal on board as they haven’t got much by joining India. Sanghis can be sent back to mainland India if they don’t agree with it!!

West Bengal is going to be a Muslim majority state in 3-5 decades but problem is most of its population are uneducated and poor. Despite having relative advantag in 1947 compared to Bangladesh and other states of India it lost its position since that time.

Bangladeshi muslims are trying to capture West Bengal, Tripura and Assam from India and Arakan from Myanmar on the other hand. I think the Burmese are correct when they say that Rohingyas are illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. Maybe Bangladeshi muslims are trying to capture the Arakan region with population for which Bangladeshi muslims are migrating to Myanmar. It could be possible as there are many Bangladeshi muslims in India too.

If anyhow it is found that Bangladesh is trying to capture Arakan from Myanmar then remember that the genocide of rohingya muslims will be justified and the international community will favour Myanmar. The Bangladeshi government and the Bangladesh army wont be able to do anything about it.

How Bangladesh became independent from Pakistan? Is it just done by India or Bangladeshi people themselves? Same will happen in West Bengal and NE India. Just for your official figure says Assam has 34-35% Muslim, unofficial figure is much higher. Assam will become Muslim majority before West Bengal. Rohingyas already declared their intention to have their independent state so is Rakhine Buddhist. Probably 2 New state will be created in Arakan and Rohingya one will merge with Bangladesh just like Crimea merged with Russia. Just for your info they are local Muslim and living their for centuries.

Muslims will not takeover Arakan but instead more muslims will die a painful death. Remember in Myanmar there are still muslims living in different parts of the country apart from Arakan. You dont want the burmese to hurt them do you?

I guess you know the story of Serb or apartheid South Africa. Myanmar will not be different. If East Timor can become independent from Indonesia so Arakan can from Myanmar.

The Hindu Jagran Manch on Saturday protested against the decision to rename West Bengal as ‘Bangla’. This move comes after the Assembly passed a resolution to rename the state as ‘Bangla’ in three languages — Bengali, English and Hindi. Around 50 people had gathered at Esplanade and raised slogans against the state government for around an hour.

“It is an attempt to create a Bangladesh here. They want to erase history and we are completely against it,” said Vivek Singh, a HJM member. Members of the right-wing outfit said they felt there is no justification to rename a state only to climb the alphabetical sequence of state names.
