|Sonar Bangla - our home state|
Situated in the eastern region of India, and stretching from the Himalayas in the north to the Indian Ocean in the south is Bengal - the homeland of the Bengalis. Our mother tongue is Bengali. After India's independence, a portion carved out as East Bengal formed East Pakistan. In 1971 following a war of liberation, East Pakistan became the independent country of Bangladesh. The western half of Bengal remained with India and is now known as West Bengal.
