Bengal was not a subah in the Nawab period, since it was governed by hereditary nawabs and not subedars (appointed governors). And the nawabs were independent rulers with nominal allegiance to the Mughal Emperor. In most histories in English, they are referred to as the Princes of Bengal, since the word nawab actually means prince. The state was a principality and a realm of the Mughal Empire. The article should be appropriately renamed as the Principality of Bengal, a Mughal imperial realm. It should also include the architectural and artistic legacy from this period, such as ivory art, ruins of Murshidabad and scrolls and paintings such as the Bengal style Mughal miniature and the Gazi folktale etc
Also, the muslin trade reached its zenith during this period. Prior to Company rule, Bengal was India's wealthiest region in terms of trade and exports. The puppet Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad should be a separate article, it undermines the value and importance of this large, prosperous and practically independent principality. And important history articles such as these should not be referenced from a district website! -- ArmanJ ( talk) 08:55, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Should this article be split into Nawabs of Bengal and Nawabs of Murshidabad? The section discussing the succession indicates that it is two different entities almost. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 02:11, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

I think this page has fallen far from the original GA version from 2012. One problem is that it's not currently stable with repeated attempts to restore some old version (including hard number citations like [4][5][39]). The infobox is a mess and the introduction before was a full page long and extensively repetitive of the content below. It's also not using reliable sources as there's overly extensive citations to this page (careful, music plays) which is basically a blog. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 21:01, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Nawabs of Bengal and Murshidabad → Nawabs of Bengal – This has been discussed for a long time, but no action has been made. The Nawabs of Bengal were the powerful independent rulers of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. The Nawabs of Murshidabad were their descendants who were not rulers, but simply a wealthy aristocratic family. The article at present makes it seem like both are the same thing, when in fact they are two different entities which do not overlap.
