Explained: Whose saree is it anyway? Bangladesh cries foul as West Bengal claims Tangail saree as its own

There is a war brewing between the two Bengal- Bangladesh and the east Indian state of West Bengal. While the two states got divided back in 1947- with Bangladesh becoming predominantly a Muslim state and called East Pakistan and subsequently Bangladesh in 1971, the war this time is not over religion or ethnicity but over a saree- the six-yard garment worn by women in several parts of South-Asia. In January earlier this year, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced that the GI (geographical indication) tag for Tangail saree has been awarded to West Bengal.
