Bengal Presidency

The Bengal Presidency was a major administrative region established by the British East India Company in the 18th century, covering parts of present-day India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. It was a significant area for trade and governance, with Calcutta (now Kolkata) as its capital. The presidency was crucial during British rule and underwent several administrative changes, reflecting both local cultures and colonial interests. It played a vital role in shaping modern South Asian history, influencing socio-economic and political developments in the region. The Bengal Presidency existed until the reorganization of British India in 1905 and later in 1947.
