Some things are strange...
1. Why is Kerala "God's Own Country"? It ought to be "God's Own State". It's one of the 29 states of India.
2. When partition happened, Bengal got split into East Bengal and West Bengal. East Bengal went ahead and renamed itself Bangladesh. Now West Bengal is a state in the Eastern part of India 😏! That doesn't fit 😏! I think it should just be Bengal.
In fact, going a step further, this concept of Maharashtra for Marathis, Bengal for Bengalis, Tamil Nadu for Tamilians... - doesn't this foster regionalism? Why encourage this? Why not just consolidate our identity as Indians? Why not rename our states to reduce regionalism and promote nationalism?
As I often remark, the USA is United States of America; while we are increasingly becoming Divided States of India...
