BY A STAFF REPORTER: To know the details about West Bengal, first we need to know how the name of West Bengal came about. Where the Ganges meets the sea, there was an ancient civilization called Gangaridi or Gangaridai. This is known from the writings of the Greeks. But how did the name of the bungalow come about? That is, the history of West Bengal is not yet clearly known. The name Bengal is derived from the sun god Singa Banga, a tribe from South India, now inhabiting present-day Jharkhand. On the other hand, according to the writings of the Aryans, King Bali established this kingdom. An ancient inscription named "Banga" has been found in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. Historians believe that the document was inscribed in 800 AD. When Samsuddin Ilyas Shah became the ruler of Bengal in 1352 AD, he assumed the title of Shah-e-Bangla. The undivided land has been repeatedly mentioned in Bengali literature as Bengal and Bangladesh.
The national anthem of Bangladesh "Amar Sonar Bangla Ami Tomay Bhalo Basi" also refers to this land as Bangla. Here, in Satyendranath Dutta's poem 'Bangladesh', the entire land has been called Bangladesh and Bangla. In 1905, there was a breach of the bang, but it could not survive. During the partition of the country in 1947, the western part became West Bengal and the eastern part became East Pakistan. In 1971, the independent state of Bangladesh was formed, East Pakistan became history. The name West Bengal continues to commemorate the partition of the country even today. According to the history of 1905 a part of Bengal was named West Bengal, West Bengal in English. Although the name of the capital was changed from Calcutta to Kolkata in English, the name of the state was not changed.
