Nobody here is focusing on the root cause for the downfall of Hinduism in Bengal.
2/3 of Bengal is under muslim rule and 1/3 under communist rule.
The fact is the Bengali Brahmanas despite having one of the highest IQs in the world did not have the common sense to create a proper Kshatriya class to defend vedic culture in Bengal.
This is in complete contrast with neighbouring Nepal & Orissa, where the strong Kshatriya class worked in co-ordination with the Brahmanas to ensure both regions remained staunchly Hindu.
The Nepali Kshatriyas or Chettris are 16% of Nepal's population and form the bulk of the Nepali Army ensuring that Nepal remains a Hindu state, under a Hindu Monarch.
