href="/wiki/Teilung_Bengalens_1905" title="Teilung Bengalens 1905">in zwei Teile geteilt</a>. Der westliche Teil bestand in etwa aus den heutigen indischen Bundesstaaten Westbengalen, <a href="/wiki/Jharkhand" title="Jharkhand">Jharkhand</a>, <a href="/wiki/Odisha" title="Odisha">Odisha</a> und <a href="/wiki/Bihar" title="Bihar">Bihar</a>. Nach Protesten der Bevölkerung revidierten die Engländer 1912 die Teilung. Bihar – das damals noch Jharkhand umfasste – und Orissa blieben allerdings selbständige Provinzen. Als <a href="/wiki/Britisch-Indien" title="Britisch-Indien">Britisch-Indien</a> 1947 in die Unabhängigkeit entlassen wurde, entstanden zwei Staaten, das mehrheitlich hinduistische Indien und der Muslim-Staat <a href="/wiki/Pakistan" title="Pakistan">Pakistan</a>. Bengalen wurde im Wesentlichen entlang der Religionsgrenzen geteilt, der mehrheitlich muslimisch besiedelte Teil kam zu Pakistan („Ost-Pakistan“) und der mehrheitlich von Hindus bewohnte Teil wurde unter dem Namen „Westbengalen“ ein Bundesstaat Indiens. Ost-Pakistan erlangte 1971 unter dem Namen <a href="/wiki/Bangladesch" title="Bangladesch">Bangladesch</a> die Unabhängigkeit. Die <a href="/wiki/Teilung_Bengalens_1947" title="Teilung Bengalens 1947">Teilung Bengalens 1947</a> entsprach etwa der Grenzziehung aus dem Jahr 1905. Im Jahr 1956 erfolgte noch eine Grenzkorrektur innerhalb Indiens im Rahmen des <i>Bihar and West Bengal (Transfer of Territories) Acts, 1956</i>, parallel zum <i><a href="/wiki/States_Reorganisation_Act" title="States Reorganisation Act">States Reorganisation Acts</a></i>, bei der bengalischsprachige Nachbarbezirke des benachbarten Bundesstaats Bihar an Westbengalen angegliedert wurden. Die <a href="/wiki/Bengal_Provincial_Railway" title="Bengal Provincial Railway">Bengal Provincial Railway</a> verkehrte hier von 1890 bis 1956. </p><p>Die Beziehungen Indiens zu Bangladesch waren längere Jahre angespannt, was mit politischen Differenzen zusammenhing. Bangladesch stand lange Jahre unter einer Militärdiktatur und zeigte islamistische Tendenzen. Indien warf Bangladesch vor, Terroristen Unterschlupf zu gewähren und riegelte die Grenze mit einem mehrere 1.000 Kilometer langen Grenzzaun ab, auch um sich gegen die unkontrollierte Einwanderung aus Bangladesch zu schützen. An der Grenze kam es mehrfach zu Grenzgefechten zwischen indischen und bangladeschischen Polizeieinheiten. Seit etwa 2006 hat sich das Verhältnis beider Staaten jedoch deutlich verbessert und es wurden zahlreiche bilaterale Abkommen abgeschlossen. Einen Höhepunkt bildete der <a href="/wiki/Indisch-bangladeschischer_Grenzvertrag_2015" title="Indisch-bangladeschischer Grenzvertrag 2015">indisch-bangladeschische Grenzvertrag</a>, der am 31.
