In 1949, it was merged with [[India]]; now free from the British. It later became a part of [[West Bengal]]. However, if Cooch Behar had become part of [[Bangladesh#History|East Pakistan]], then India would not have had as much land access towards the north-east. Also the former East Pakistan (now [[Bangladesh]]) would have land borders with [[Nepal]], Bhutan and [[Sikkim]].<br /> <br /> <br /> {{hist-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Indian princely states]]<br /> [[Category:History of India]]<br /> [[Category:West Bengal]]<br /> [[Category:1580s establishments]]<br /> [[Category:1949 disestablishments in Asia]]<br /> [[Category:1940s disestablishments in India]]</div>
