Spreading my Wings

Yesterday saw a new region for readers of the blog, Bangladesh. This area of what was India, during the days of the Raj, covers mainly the Bengal region.

Pre-1948 the area was under the control of the British Empire, as part of the agreement to aid the UK in World War 2, India became independent when the war ended.
