The articles Bengali novels, Bangla rock and Bengali science fiction have huge amount of material on Bangladesh but very less on West Bengal. The article on Bangla rock has been redirected to Bangladeshi rock, a term which does not even exist! This is pure vandalism. If you see the History of these three articles to 2 or 3 years back, say the page as it appeared on 16 October 2010 or 2011, you find an unbiased article. I suggest this page be edited and then locked. I am forced to add the vandalism tag to this and other mentioned articles. AkhilKumarPal ( talk) 20:17, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
I copy edited up through "Origins" section. After that someone should continue, there's a lot of grammar and style issues. Editfromwithout ( talk) 22:57, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
(1) - By definition, I'm unsure whether
Bangla rock is an actual
music genre, or more a version or style of music that simply makes use of other existing music genres in a different language. I feel a need to question the word "genre" as its descriptor, and will likely request further opinion from other editors whom are more experienced in dealing with music genre articles. (2) - I have not followed nor attempted to verified any of the references or further reading links, but suggest that more inline citations be present in all text-based sections, whether they are added new, or simply relocated from page-bottom to more appropriate and/or reader-friendly positions. (3) - There are still areas of this article where the English grammar could probably be further smoothed out or simplified by someone who is more familiar with the subject. --

Bangla rock is a music genre in which the song is written in Bengali language. It was originated in Kolkata, West Bengal by India's first rock band and first known Bangla rock band Moheener Ghoraguli. In modern times, this type of music uses distorted electric guitars, bass guitar, and drums, and is sometimes accompanied with piano and keyboards. In the early days of Bangla rock, these instruments were often accompanied by saxophone, violin, bass violin, and flute which can be heard in the music of Bangla rock band Bhoomi.
The article seemed to be more Kolkata-centered even though the page is named as 'Bangla rock', since Bangla comprises of both West Bengal and Bangladesh, I have entered some information about Bangladeshi bands. I have changed the beginning section where it was claimed that rock music originated in Kolkata and Moheener_Ghoraguli(1975) was the first Bangla rock band whereas the fact is it originated in Chittagong in the 60s when Zinga Goshty was formed there while in other opinions Souls formed in 1970, in the same city, is the first Bangla rock band. I have also edited the History section. The sources of these information are given below [1] [2] Kmzayeem ( talk) 16:34, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
I've removed the bands which compose only English songs from the Popular bands from Kolkata section since it clashes with the definition of Bangla rock which is described as " in which the song is written in Bengali language " - Kmzayeem ( talk) 16:49, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
There are thousands of underground bands in both West Bengal and Bangladesh and at least hundreds of them can claim to be popular in their respective areas. Apart from this, there is no reliable sources added in this page regarding popular underground bands, therefore I'm removing the section. - Kmzayeem ( talk) 17:10, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
There are many talented musicians in Kolkata whose work i admire very much, so this is NO way meant to undermine anyone, but the title of the article seems to be specifically about "BANGLADESHI" bands. yet it seems kolkata bands have been mentioned, which is a bit confusing. therefore either the page should be classified as "Bangla Rock" (thus it can include all country bands which sing in Bangla) or else i guess it's better to limit the page to Bangladeshi bands only for avoiding confusion? what do u think?

Bangladeshi rock → Bangla rock – The page used to be at Bangla rock but was moved to Bangladeshi rock by Nomian ( talk · contribs) in August 2012. A similar page Bangla Rock (capitalised) was created on 10 March by an anon user, perhaps from an old version of the page, and then edited to include an infobox headed "Bangla rock in India", but then redirected here by Nomian without merging any content. It seems to me that "Bangla rock" is a genre that deserves an article; perhaps a separate page on "rock music in Bangladesh" could also exist, but it seems wrong that the page page was renamed and then this became a reason to strip out content about Bangla rock in India.

When I do a Google news search for "bangla rock", the results are not all about Bangladesh; in fact, they are mainly about Kolkata. I therefore believe that Bangla rock and Bangla Rock should redirect to Music of Bengal rather than Bangladeshi rock. – Fayenatic L ondon 20:40, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Should I be correcting usage of serial commas so that they are the same throughout the article? The first couple paragraphs had no comma before and, but I am now coming across commas before and. Lorrie ( talk) 15:24, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
