البنغال الغربية (إنگليزية: West Bengal؛ بالبنغالي: Poshchim Bongo, pronounced: [ˈpoʃtʃim ˈbɔŋɡo] ( استمع), abbr. WB) هي ولاية تقع في شمالي الهند، وتبلغ مساحتها 87,853 كم². وفي عام 2023، كان يقطن الولاية 102,552,787 نسمة.[16] يدين 75% منهم بالهندوسية، و20% بالإسلام، والبقية بوذيُّون، ونصارى، ويانيون، وسيخ. يتكلم 85% من السكان اللغة البنغالية، والآخرون يتكلمون اللغة الهندية، والأوردو، وبعض اللهجات القبلية. نسبة التعليم 40%. ويعيش 30% من السكان في المراكز الحضرية. أهم المدن كَلكتا العاصمة، وأسانسول ودرغابور. West Bengal is the fourth-most populous and thirteenth-largest state by area in India, as well as the eighth-most populous country subdivision of the world. As a part of the Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent, it borders Bangladesh in the east, and Nepal and Bhutan in the north. It also borders the Indian states of Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar, Sikkim and Assam. The state capital is Kolkata, the third-largest metropolis, and seventh largest city by population in India. West Bengal includes the Darjeeling Himalayan hill region, the Ganges delta, the Rarh region, the coastal Sundarbans and the Bay of Bengal. The state's main ethnic group are the Bengalis, with the Bengali Hindus forming the demographic majority.

The area's early history featured a succession of Indian empires, internal squabbling, and a tussle between Hinduism and Buddhism for dominance. Ancient Bengal was the site of several major Janapadas, while the earliest cities date back to the Vedic period. The region was part of several ancient pan−Indian empires, including the Vangas, Mauryans, and the Guptas. The citadel of Gauḍa served as the capital of the Gauḍa Kingdom, the Pala Empire, and the Sena Empire. Islam was introduced through trade with the Abbasid Caliphate, but following the Ghurid conquests led by Bakhtiyar Khalji and the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate, the Muslim faith spread across the entire Bengal region. During the Bengal Sultanate, the territory was a major trading nation in the world, and was often referred by the Europeans as the "richest country to trade with". It was absorbed into the Mughal Empire in 1576. Simultaneously, some parts of the region were ruled by several Hindu states, and Baro-Bhuyan landlords, and part of it was briefly overrun by the Suri Empire. Following the death of Emperor Aurangzeb in the early 1700s, the proto-industrialised Mughal Bengal became a semi-independent state under the Nawabs of Bengal, and showed signs of the first Industrial revolution.[17][18] The region was later annexed into the Bengal Presidency by the British East India Company after the Battle of Buxar in 1764.[19][20] From 1772 to 1911, Calcutta was the capital of all of East India Company's territories and then the capital of the entirety of India after the establishment of the Viceroyalty.[21] From 1912 to India's Independence in 1947, it was the capital of the Bengal Province.[22]

The region was a hotbed of the Indian independence movement and has remained one of India's great artistic and intellectual centres.[23] Following widespread religious violence, the Bengal Legislative Council and the Bengal Legislative Assembly voted on the Partition of Bengal in 1947 along religious lines into two independent dominions: West Bengal, a Hindu-majority Indian state, and East Bengal, a Muslim-majority province of Pakistan which later became the independent Bangladesh. The state was also flooded with Hindu refugees from East Bengal (present-day Bangladesh) in the decades following the 1947 partition of India, transforming its landscape and shaping its politics.[24][25] The early and prolonged exposure to British administration resulted in an expansion of Western education, culminating in developments in science, institutional education, and social reforms in the region, including what became known as the Bengali Renaissance. Several regional and pan−Indian empires throughout Bengal's history have shaped its culture, cuisine, and architecture.

Post-Indian independence, as a welfare state, West Bengal's economy is based on agricultural production and small and medium-sized enterprises.[26] The state's cultural heritage, besides varied folk traditions, ranges from stalwarts in literature including Nobel-laureate Rabindranath Tagore to scores of musicians, film-makers and artists. For several decades, the state underwent political violence and economic stagnation after the beginning of communist rule in 1977 before it rebounded.[27] In 2023–24, the economy of West Bengal is the sixth-largest state economy in India with a gross state domestic product (GSDP) of ₹17٫19 lakh crore (220 بليون US$),[11] and has the country's 20th-highest GSDP per capita of ₹121٬267 (US$1٬500)[28] as of 2020–21. Despite being one of the fastest-growing major economies, West Bengal has struggled to attract foreign direct investment due to adverse land acquisition policies, poor infrastructure, and red tape.[29][30] It also has the 26th-highest ranking among Indian states in human development index, with the index value being lower than the Indian average.[8][26] The state government debt of ₹6٫47 lakh crore (81 بليون US$), or 37.67% of GSDP, has dropped from 40.65% since 2010–11.[31][11] West Bengal has three World Heritage sites and ranks as the eight-most visited tourist destination in India and third-most visited state of India globally.[32][33]

أصل الاسم

المقالة الرئيسية: أسماء البنغال

The origin of the name Bengal (Bangla and Bongo in Bengali) is unknown. One theory suggests the word derives from "Bang", the name of a Dravidian tribe that settled the region around 1000 BCE.[34] The Bengali word Bongo might have been derived from the ancient kingdom of Vanga (or Banga). Although some early Sanskrit literature mentions the name Vanga, the region's early history is obscure.[35]

In 1947, at the end of British rule over the Indian subcontinent the Bengal Legislative Council and the Bengal Legislative Assembly voted on the Partition of Bengal along religious lines into two separate entities: West Bengal, which continued as an Indian state, and East Bengal, a province of Pakistan, which came to be known be as East Pakistan and later became the independent Bangladesh.[36][37]

In 2011 the Government of West Bengal proposed a change in the official name of the state to PaschimBanga (بالبنغالية: পশ্চিমবঙ্গ Pôshchimbônggô).[38] This is the native name of the state, literally meaning "western Bengal" in the native Bengali language. In August 2016 the West Bengal Legislative Assembly passed another resolution to change the name of West Bengal to "Bengal" in English, and "Bangla" in Bengali. Despite the Trinamool Congress government's efforts to forge a consensus on the name change resolution, the Indian National Congress, the Left Front, and the Bharatiya Janata Party opposed the resolution.[39] However, the central government has turned down the proposal maintaining the state should have one single name for all languages instead of three, and it should not be the same as that of any other territory (pointing out that the name 'Bangla' may create confusion with neighboring Bangladesh).[39][40][41]

عـُثـِر على أدوات من العصر الحجري تعود إلى 20,000 سنة مضت في حفريات بالولاية، تبين أن الاستيطان البشري كان متواجداً قبل 8,000 سنة من تقديرات الدارسين.[42] وحسب الملحمة الهندية مهابهاراتا فإن المنطقة كانت جزءاً من مملكة ڤانگا.[43] وكان تواجد عدد من الأملاك الڤيدية في منطقة البنغال، بما في ذلك ڤانگا، رار، و پوندراڤردانا، ومملكة سوهما. أحد أقدم الإشارات الأجنبية إلى البنغال كان من اليونانيين القدماء حوالي 100 ق.م. لأرض تُدعى گانگاريداي وتقع في مصب الگانج.[44] وكان للبنغال تجارة وراء البحار مع سوڤارنابومي (بورما وتايلند السفلى وأسفل شبه جزيرة الملايو، وسومطرة).[45] وحسب التأريخ السريلانكي مهاڤامسا، فإن الأمير ڤيجايا (ح. 543-505 ق.م.)، من مملكة ڤانگا، هزم لانكا (سري لانكا الحالية) وأسمى البلد مملكة سنهالا.[46]

تُعدّ سلالة الدراڤيديين أولى السلالات التي سكنت الهند، وهم جماعات صغيرة، كانت تمارس جمع الثمار والصيد. حوالي عام 200 ق.م، كانت البنغال جزءًا من إمبراطورية موريا.

دخلها الإسلام في مطلع القرن السابع الهجري، الثالث عشر الميلادي، في عهد الدولة العباسية.[47] وإثر الفتوحات المبكرة التي قام بها محمد بن بختيار خلجي وتأسيس سلطنة دلهي، انتشر الإسلام في منطقة البنغال. ولاحقاً بين الفينة والأخرى، دعم غزاة مسلمون عملية اعتناق السكان الإسلام ببنائهم المساجد والمدارس والخانقاوات. وفي عهد سلطنة البنغال الإسلامية، التي تأسست في 1352، أصبحت البنغال أمة تجارية كبرى على مستوى العالم وكثيراً ما كان الأوروپيون يشيرون إليها بأنها أغنى بلد يمكنهم التجارة معه.[48] ومن بعدهم جاء الأفغان، ثم استطاع الإمبراطور المغولي، أكبر، بسط نفوذه على البنغال الغربية، في 1576، فامتص سلطنة البنغال في سلطنة المغل.[49]

أثار المد الإسلامي الأوروبيين فتوجهت أنظارهم إليها. وفي عام 1700، أصبحت البنغال دولة مستقلة، ولكن تحت سيطرة فعلية لشركة الهند الشرقية البريطانية، التي احتكرت إمكانات الولاية الاقتصادية.

في القرن التاسع عشر الميلادي، أصبحت البنغال المركز السياسي والاقتصادي للهند البريطانية واتسعت رقعتها، بعد دارجيلنگ، وما حولها. أدّى تقسيم اللورد كرزون للبنغال إلى ولايتين جديدتين هما: البنغال الغربية، وآسام وولاية البنغال الشرقية وأوريسا وبيهار إلى:

  1. ظهور معارضة قوية للحكم البريطاني وسط البنغاليين.
  2. وضع بذور الشقاق بين المسلمين، والهندوس الذي انتهى إلى انفصال باكستان بقسميها الشرقي والغربي عن الهند.
  3. حدوث هجرات ضخمة للمسلمين إلى باكستان، والهندوس إلى الهند. وقد صاحب تلك الهجرات الكثير من إراقة الدماء.

من أعلام البنغال الشاعر والروائي طاغور، الذي حاز جائزة نوبل للآداب عام 1913.

West Bengal is governed through a parliamentary system of representative democracy, a feature the state shares with other Indian states. Universal suffrage is granted to residents. There are two branches of government. The legislature, the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, consists of elected members and special office bearers such as the Speaker and Deputy Speaker, who are elected by the members. Assembly meetings are presided over by the Speaker or the Deputy Speaker in the Speaker's absence. The judiciary is composed of the Calcutta High Court and a system of lower courts. Executive authority is vested in the Council of Ministers headed by the Chief Minister although the titular head of government is the Governor. The Governor is the Head of State appointed by the President of India. The leader of the party or coalition with a majority in the Legislative Assembly is appointed as the Chief Minister by the Governor. The Council of Ministers is appointed by the Governor on the advice of the Chief Minister. The Council of Ministers reports to the Legislative Assembly. The Assembly is unicameral with 295 members, or MLAs,[52] including one nominated from the Anglo-Indian community. Terms of office run for five years unless the Assembly is dissolved before the completion of the term. Auxiliary authorities known as panchayats, for which local body elections are regularly held, govern local affairs. The state contributes 42 seats to the Lok Sabha[53] and 16 seats to the Rajya Sabha of the Indian Parliament.[54]

Politics in West Bengal is dominated by the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Indian National Congress (INC), and the Left Front alliance (led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPI(M)). Following the West Bengal State Assembly Election in 2011, the All India Trinamool Congress and Indian National Congress coalition under Mamata Banerjee of the All India Trinamool Congress was elected to power with 225 seats in the legislature.[55]

Prior to this, West Bengal was ruled by the Left Front for 34 years (1977–2011), making it the world's longest-running democratically elected communist government.[56] Banerjee was re-elected twice as Chief Minister in the 2016 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election and 2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election with 211 and 215 seats respectively, an absolute majority by the Trinamool Congress.[57] The state has one autonomous region, the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration.[58]

The Bengali language boasts a rich literary heritage it shares with neighbouring Bangladesh. West Bengal has a long tradition of folk literature, evidenced by the Charyapada, a collection of Buddhist mystic songs dating back to the 10th and 11th centuries; Mangalkavya, a collection of Hindu narrative poetry composed around the 13th century; Shreekrishna Kirtana, a pastoral Vaishnava drama in verse composed by Boru Chandidas; Thakurmar Jhuli, a collection of Bengali folk and fairy tales compiled by Dakshinaranjan Mitra Majumder; and stories of Gopal Bhar, a court jester in medieval Bengal. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Bengali literature was modernised in the works of authors such as Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, whose works marked a departure from the traditional verse-oriented writings prevalent in that period;[72] Michael Madhusudan Dutt, a pioneer in Bengali drama who introduced the use of blank verse;[73] and Rabindranath Tagore, who reshaped Bengali literature and music. Indian art saw the introduction of Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[74] Other notable figures include Kazi Nazrul Islam, whose compositions form the avant-garde genre of Nazrul Sangeet,[75] Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, whose works on contemporary social practices in Bengal are widely acclaimed,[76] and Manik Bandyopadhyay, who is considered one of the leading lights of modern Bengali fiction.[77] In modern times, Jibanananda Das has been acknowledged as "the premier poet of the post-Tagore era in India".[78] Other writers include: Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay, best known for his work Pather Panchali; Tarashankar Bandopadhyay, well known for his portrayal of the lower strata of society;[79] Manik Bandopadhyay, a pioneering novelist; and Ashapurna Devi, Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, Saradindu Bandopadhyay, Buddhadeb Guha, Mahashweta Devi, Samaresh Majumdar, Sanjeev Chattopadhyay, Shakti Chattopadhyay, Buddhadeb Basu,[80] Joy Goswami, and Sunil Gangopadhyay.[81][82]

The capital, Kolkata, was the workplace of several social reformers, including Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar, and Swami Vivekananda. Their social reforms eventually led to a cultural atmosphere that made it possible for practices like sati, dowry, and caste-based discrimination, or untouchability, to be abolished.[83] The region was also home to several religious teachers, such as Chaitanya, Ramakrishna, Prabhupada, and Paramahansa Yogananda.[83]

Assorted food eaten in West Bengal: Patisapta, a kind of pitha; Shorshe Ilish (Hilsha with Mustard Sauce) and Rasgullas in sugar syrup

Rice and fish are traditional favourite foods, leading to a saying in Bengali, "machhe bhate bangali", that translates as "fish and rice make a Bengali".[84] Bengal's vast repertoire of fish-based dishes includes hilsa preparations, a favourite among Bengalis. There are numerous ways of cooking fish depending on its texture, size, fat content, and bones.[85] Most of the people also consume eggs, chicken, mutton, and shrimp. Panta bhat (rice soaked overnight in water) with onion and green chili is a traditional dish consumed in rural areas.[86] Common spices found in a Bengali kitchen include cumin, ajmoda (radhuni), bay leaf, mustard, ginger, green chillies, and turmeric.[87] Sweets occupy an important place in the diet of Bengalis and at their social ceremonies. Bengalis make distinctive sweetmeats from milk products, including Rôshogolla, Chômchôm, Kalojam, and several kinds of sondesh. Pitha, a kind of sweet cake, bread, or dim sum, are specialties of the winter season. Sweets such as narkol-naru, til-naru, moa, and payesh are prepared during festivals such as Lakshmi puja.[88] Popular street foods include Aloor Chop, Beguni, Kati roll, biryani, and phuchka.[89][90]
