		By 1900, the British province of Bengal constituted a huge territory, stretching from the Burmese border to deep into the Ganges (An Asian river; rises in the Himalayas and flows east into the Bay of Bengal; a sacred river of the Hindus) valley.
		Bengal, henceforth, would encompass Calcutta and the western territories, roughly comprising modern West Bengal (A state in eastern India), Bihar (A state of northeastern India), and Orissa (State in eastern India on the Bay of Bengal).

		Twice during his lifetime Bengal was physically rent apart—in 1947 by the Partition engendered by the departing British colonizers and in 1971 by the Bangladeshi War of Independence.
		The dramatic construction of the scene underscores the epic tragedy of Sita’s death — the sacrifice of Bengal — caused by the decadence of Ishwar, the excesses of Bengali society.
		It should be noted that in addition to the 1947 Partition and the Bangladeshi War of Independence’s 1971 partition of East Pakistan and West Pakistan into Bangladesh and Pakistan, Bengal suffered another wrenching “partition” in the twentieth century —Lord Curzon’s 1905 partition of Bengal (then a British province) into East Bengal and West Bengal.
