United Bengal
was a proposal to transform Bengal Province into an undivided, sovereign state at the time of the Partition of India in 1947. It sought to prevent the division of Bengal on religious grounds. The proposal originated in the pre-partition political leadership of the province, and found some cross-communal support.
