Bangladesh is not only just a country but for many Indian Bengalis, Bangladesh holds deep emotional significance due to its historical and cultural connections. Before the partition of India in 1947, Bengal was a unified region with a rich heritage of literature, art, and traditions. When the partition occurred, Bengal was divided along religion lines, with East Bengal becoming East Pakistan (and later Bangladesh) and West Bengal becoming a part of India. The separation resulted in a significant displacement of people, who had to leave their homes and move to India due to the religious division. This led to a sense of loss and nostalgia for many Bengali families who had to leave their ancestral lands and cultural roots.
