Muslims were about 23-24% and also you are forgetting their overbreeding, about 1800's when Muslim rule was getting smashed everywhere they were no more than 15%, Hindus were over 80% of Akhand Bharat, it was after the British take over that the Muslims began to make gains primarily through their birth rate not conversions, Bengal first became Muslim majority in 1881, but today I would safely say that it maybe about 65% Muslim if united, that is an explosive growth rate caused primarily by Bengali Hindus taking to family planning while Muslims had no use for it (atleast not as much as Hindus).
