West Bengal is back in the spotlight as the BJP pushes to rename the state “Paschim Banga.” While the state assembly can signal intent, a formal change requires Parliamentary approval under Article 3. This long-standing debate balances regional identity against historical labels. If passed, the shift will trigger massive updates to official records, government signage, and institutional branding across the state.
