Talk:Nawabs of Bengal/Archive 1

Renaming it as the Principality of Bengal
Bengal was not a subah in the Nawab period, since it was governed by hereditary nawabs and not subedars (appointed governors). And the nawabs were independent rulers with nominal allegiance to the Mughal Emperor. In most histories in English, they are referred to as the Princes of Bengal, since the word nawab actually means prince. The state was a principality and a realm of the Mughal Empire. The article should be appropriately renamed as the Principality of Bengal, a Mughal imperial realm. It should also include the architectural and artistic legacy from this period, such as ivory art, ruins of Murshidabad and scrolls and paintings such as the Bengal style Mughal miniature and the Gazi folktale etc

Also, the muslin trade reached its zenith during this period. Prior to Company rule, Bengal was India's wealthiest region in terms of trade and exports. The puppet Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad should be a separate article, it undermines the value and importance of this large, prosperous and practically independent principality. And important history articles such as these should not be referenced from a district website! --ArmanJ (talk) 08:55, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry but the information you want to add will be better for an independent article on Bengal or the Bengal Province or the Principality of Bengal. This an article its rulers i.e. the Nawabs not on the province or principality of Bengal. -- Tamra vidhir (২০১২) 10:27, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Split
Should this article be split into Nawabs of Bengal and Nawabs of Murshidabad? The section discussing the succession indicates that it is two different entities almost. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:11, 5 December 2015 (UTC)


 * It's quite possible that the Bengal Nawab house had several branches, not just Murshidabad. There is also no basis for the current title.--Vaza12 (talk) 21:39, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
