Is fireworks are officially banned in West Bengal? Or is it allowed in moderation (green fireworks)?
Hi everyone,
I’ve noticed that Bollywood and social media often stereotype women from West Bengal as being more sexually active, and I don't think this portrayal is fair or accurate. Having interacted with people from various regions, I believe such generalizations misrepresent the culture and individuality of the women here.
What are your thoughts on this? How do you feel about the way West Bengal is portrayed in popular media?
I made a map based geography quiz that helps learning the current (!) districts of West Bengal. You have to match the district names withe the regions on the map:

You can switch the learning language to Bengali and Hindi. Have fun 🙂
