Nice compilation, expressing exhaustive opinions of the people of the state. It is not clear, why the name change proposed earlier, during CPM rule, was not agreed by the center. In my opinion, it could be named as Bang Pradesh, in lineage with nomenclature of other states like Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and other similar. Leaving at just Bangla will be difficult to identify with land. Since Bangla Desh clearly identifies the country. Bangla Pradesh, can also be very appropriate, but it could cause unnecessary confusion, with Bangla Desh. Anyway, there is a saying: What Bengal thinks today, rest of the country thinks tomorrow (pun not intended). So the best of political pundits have passed for the name Bangla, let it be so.
