This has been overlooked at the time of independence itself .
Like Bengal was partitioned into East Bengal and West Bengal .
East Bengal has long since named their mother lad as Bangladesh . Why is the West portion stuck being west ?
Why can’t be be just Bangla ?
Mamata didi better address this issue . Now is the time .
Instead of West Bengal it can be Bangal. Afterall there is no East and West Punjab. Both India and Pakistan use the name Punjab for their parts of erstwhile province
The legacy of West Bengal is from the earlier partition of Bengal in 1905
About the first part, basically it was always India used in English and Bharat for Indian languages including Hindi
Like our passport says Republic of India and Bhartiyay Gantantra...
In English version of constitution the line is India that is Bharat while in Hindi version it is Bharat joki India hai..
While nowhere officially mentioned, the trend was always to use Bharat for Indic Languages communication and India for English
Now they are using Bharat in English communication too..
I don't mind it, but India word shouldn't be given up, else Pakistan will take that name and claim our legacy
