West Bengal was called Bangladesh before partition !

[Rajaraja Chola]

The region is called Vanga in Tamil Literature.

I think the whole region was called Bharat But no. We do not want BD

 

[Saiful Islam]

I mostly use the terms 'Bangla' or 'Bengal', that should be the name for the authentic Bengal.

Bangladesh should change its name to 'East Arabia'.

Because it adheres to a religion not to your liking?

Because it adheres to a religion not to your liking?

Because it is trying very hard to become Arabia.

In so many ways....it will take time to elaborate. But the real Bengalis are the Bengalis of real Bengal presently known as West Bengal.

So major portion with bigger landmass of Bengal (Bangladesh) is not Bengal but East Arabia? Small portion (West Bengal) is real Bengal?

One day you're calling yourself an Indo-Aryan from the Indus Valley Civilization and today you're calling yourself a "real Bengali" from "real Bengal".

It's the smaller part that defines the very identity of Bengalis, the bigger part desperately wants to discard anything Bengali, including Bengali language, scripts, literature, songs, dance, Hindu Bengali icons, and Hindu Bengali population in general.

One day you're calling yourself an Indo-Aryan from the Indus Valley Civilization and today you're calling yourself a "real Bengali" from "real Bengal".

IVC people are spread all over India, we own and represent the legacy of IVC. And technically all humans are Africans, yet there are so many cultures.

It is just like East and West Germany, and you also have people pole-vaulting from east to west. Under the glorious leadership of H.E. Sheikh Hasina, soon East will rejoin the West
