List of people from West Bengal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of famous and notable people from West Bengal, India. This would include persons who are known to a large number of people and is not based on the extent of their popularity. Neither is the list viewed from the context of the present. Their fame could be brief, what matters is that they were well-known during the peak of their popularity. This list does not include the significant number of prominent East Bengali Refugees from East Bengal who settled in West Bengal after the partition of the Indian sub-continent in 1947, or those who were based in Calcutta prior to partition and chose not to return to their ancestral districts.
