The Bengal province is the home of the Bengali community on a vast tract of land, with its distinct identity mentioned in the Indian mythology and ancient travel documents dating back to the invasion by the Greeks. At the beginning of the 14th Century, major European Colonies - the Dutch,  the Danish, the French, the English, the Portuguese, and traders from Central Asia, from Iran, the Armenians, and the Turks- established their trading posts and later formed small kingdoms throughout Bengal. Out of them, the British succeeded in establishing their vast colony, with the myth of establishing the modern Calcutta city, a major trading and political centre, ruling the next 190 years of India and other South and South-East Asia countries. It was the most flourishing state in the South & South Asia region, which attracted the foreign traders backed by political intentions to venture into Bengal.​

​

Islamisation spread in the Bengal province, and the majority of the population had faith in that culture, followed by people of the Hindu faith. People of other religious affinities constitute a small population. On the arrival of foreign traders, there was a complete shift of culture and traditions in the province. Modern education has fast spread in this region, with the most English-speaking people in India. The spread of modern education has literally enlightened the people of this region, so that at the end of the 19th century, they formed the first power base. The seed of the Independence movement, Bengalis took an active part in the struggle for Independence, and the fast pace of modern education on the American War of Independence and the French Revolution.
