A special session of the Bengal Legislative Assembly on August 26 is likely to give clearance to the proposal.


The West Bengal state cabinet on Tuesday cleared the proposal for changing the state's name. The new name is likely to be 'Banga' or 'Bangla' in Bengali and 'Bengal' in English.

Sources in the cabinet reveal that a special session of the Bengal Legislative Assembly will commence on August 26 for the clearance of the proposal ahead of it being sent for consideration to the Parliament.


If the Parliament clears the proposal of the name change, it will raise the state from the 28th position alphabetically to the 4th position.

The name change will help Bengal MPs in the Parliament raise issues in the first half during the session. Usually, the MPs get a chance to speak in the second half, after the lunch recess, where there are fewer MPs present in the house.

Actually, it's opposite you are thinking.
Vanga/Banga is a first Sanskrit name which changed to Bengal.
There is no sense in name West Bengal, where is East Bengal?

 

[Rajaraja Chola]

I had always thought WB should be renamed as simply Bengal or Vanga.

It is right east or west has no need, simple Bengal is right.

There is no need for the "West" in "West Bengal" I agree.

And isn't it great that WB's poverty, infrastructure, development and law and order troubles are all sorted and now their law makers have nothing better to devout their precious time to but pondering on trivial matters such as this......

Bangladesh can call West bengal as Indian Bengal.Simple.

Bengal or Banga means whole Bengal. Bigger Bengal is Bangladesh, smaller Bengal is West Bengal. No one can claim sole right to use Bengal or Banga;. It will create confusion.

Bay of Bengal and Royal Bengal Tiger will be sole representative of Bengal if West Bengal is renamed which will be opposed by Bangladesh. These things are part of Bangladesh as well. Infact Bangladesh has bigger share of bay of Bengal and Sunderbans where Bengal Tigers live.
