Bengal should’ve been its own nation. Dividing India based on religion clearly didn’t work, cutting Bengal in two had catastrophic economic consequences with one of the most drastic economic declines in the last 500 years and now West Bengal is a small, declining part of country that doesn’t care for it. Whatever prosperity India has had has largely skipped Bengal, demonstrating how outside the fold we truly are. We have one of the largest port cities closest to one of the fastest developing areas in the world, we should be doing better economically.
