West Bengal

West Bengal (/bɛnˈɡɔːl/, Bengali: Poshchim Bongo, pronounced [ˈpoʃtʃim ˈbɔŋɡo] ⓘ, abbr. WB) is a state located on the eastern part of India. It is India's fourth-largest state by population and thirteenth-largest state by area.

Bengali is the official state language. In Megapolis Kolkata (Calcutta) and the wider Kolkata metropolitan area, Bengali, Urdu, English, Hindi and other languages are also spoken. In West Bengal we can find people of many religions. Mostly people from all over India had migrated here for business and residential purposes. Kolkata is the capital of West Bengal which is also the cultural capital of India. The city has the highest number of nobel laureates among all cities in India. It was also once the capital of entire British India. Winter capital is Siliguri.
