	The independent Sultanate established by Iliyas Shah lasted for about two hundred years and during this long period the name Banglalah got wide currency. The Mughals after establishing their supremacy over the region included Bangalah as a ''[[~~shubah~~]]'' (province) which came to be known as ''Shubah-i-Bangalah''. The same name appeared in the Portuguese records as 'Bengala' and the English made it 'Bengal'. Thus it is clear that from mid 14th century the name Bangalah got currency and came to denote the area, which now more or less include present Bangladesh and Indian province of West Bengal (Paschim Banga).		The independent Sultanate established by Iliyas Shah lasted for about two hundred years and during this long period the name Banglalah got wide currency. The Mughals after establishing their supremacy over the region included Bangalah as a ''[[subah]]'' (province) which came to be known as ''Shubah-i-Bangalah''. The same name appeared in the Portuguese records as 'Bengala' and the English made it 'Bengal'. Thus it is clear that from mid 14th century the name Bangalah got currency and came to denote the area, which now more or less include present Bangladesh and Indian province of West Bengal (Paschim Banga).

	Abul Fazl, the Mughal historian explained the origin of the name thus: The original name of Bangalah was Bang. Its former rulers raised mounds measuring ten yards in height and twenty in breadth throughout the province, which were called ''al''. From the suffix, this name Bangalah took its rise and currency. One may not agree with the explanation of Abul Fazl, but it is obvious that he meant that 'Bangalah' originated from 'Bang', ie 'Vanga' of the pre-Muslim period.
