History of Bengal : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Bengal
The history of Bengal includes modern-day Bangladesh and West Bengal, dates back four millennia. The Ganges and the Brahmaputra rivers separated it from India, though at times, Bengal has played an important role in the history of India. == Etymology ==
The exact origin of the word ''Bangla'' is unknown, though it is believed to be derived from the Dravidian-speaking tribe ''Bang/Banga'' that settled in the area around the year 1000 BCE.〔(History ), Banglapedia〕 Other accounts speculate that the name is derived from ''Venga'' (''Bôngo''), which came from the Austric word "Bonga" meaning the Sun-god. According to the Mahabharata, a number of Puranas and the Harivamsha Vanga was one of the adopted sons of King Vali who founded the Vanga Kingdom. It was either under Magadh or under Kalinga Rules except few years under Pals.The Muslim accounts refer that "Bong", a son of Hind (son of Hām who was a son of Prophet Noah/Nooh) colonised the area for the first time.〔(RIYAZU-S-SALĀTĪN: A History of Bengal ), Ghulam Husain Salim, The Asiatic Society, Calcutta, 1902.〕 The earliest reference to "Vangala" (''Bôngal'') has been traced in the Nesari plates (805 AD) of Rashtrakuta Govinda III which speak of Dharmapala as the king of Vangala. The records of Rajendra Chola I of the Chola dynasty, who invaded Bengal in the 11th century, speak of Govindachandra as the ruler of Vangaladesa.〔India: A History by John Keay p.220〕〔The Cambridge Shorter History of India p.145〕〔Ancient Indian History and Civilization by Sailendra Nath Sen p.281〕 Shams-ud-din Ilyas Shah took the title "Shah-e-Bangla" and united the whole region under one government. An interesting theory of the origin of the name is provided by ''Abu'l-Fazl'' in his ''Ain-i-Akbari''. According to him, "()he original name of Bengal was Bung, and the suffix ''"al"'' came to be added to it from the fact that the ancient rajahs of this land raised mounds of earth 10 feet high and 20 in breadth in lowlands at the foot of the hills which were called "al". From this suffix added to the Bung, the name Bengal arose and gained currency"〔Land of Two Rivers, Nitish Sengupta〕
