A large number of Bengalis left Bengal during those trying times, some 80% leaving South Asia.<br /><br />If you were one of those emigres who fled S.

There is overall 20% increase in outlying areas, but I don't think we can assume that means 20% growth in Bengali-speaking population. Therefore I still prefer to go with 200,000 figure which comes from the http://www.censusindia.gov.in/ website.
