Names Rasgulla, Rosogolla & Indian diaspora Bangladesh redefined.
Oxford Dictionaries describe rasgulla origin from Hindi rasgullā, from ras 'juice' + gullā 'ball'. The Oxford Companion to Sugar and Sweets By Michael Krondl, Eric Rath, Laura Mason, Geraldine Quinzio, Ursula Heinzelmann. Page 580 describes, "rosogolla, often spelled rasgulla, is a popular Indian ball-shaped sweet prepared from chhana (fresh milk curd) soaked in sugar syrup. These moist treats are common sight as sweet shops across the subcontinent. In India, rosogolla is primarily associated with West Bengal, where it is just one, if perhaps the best known, of numberless chhana-based sweets." Page 359 of the same book describes, "Bengalis - inhabitants of the Indian state of West Bengal and the Republic of Bangladesh - are famous for their love of misti, or sweets, considered the apogee of the Indian sweet maker's art. Most commercial sweets are made from channa; khoa is used mainly as a secondary ingredient".... "The most famous sweets are rosogolla, a light spongy white ball of chhana served in sugar syrup; rajbhog, a giant rosogolla; a dark-colored fried version called ledikini; cham cham, small patties dipped in thick-ended milk and sprinkled with grated khoa; ras malai, khoa and sugar balls floating in cardamom-flavoured cream; and pantua, sausage-shaped spheres fried to a golden brown and dropped in sugar syrup."
