Though both Bengal and Punjab have faced the partition,the treatment was exactly opposite to Bengal in comparison to Punjab. 1.Punjab was allowed to have total exchange of population which was denied in case of West Bengal. 2.Punjab was given little more land due according to their hindu/sikh population, whereas W.Bengal was given only one third land though hindu population was little less than muslim population,i.e.hindu:muslim ratio was http://4ঃ5.No population exchange, so almost 90% muslims didn't leave west bengal but hindus were forced and tortured to leave east pakistan.
