How come Dwarka is listed
here? I believe Krishna's
Dwarka lies in the west coast of India. Or is there another place with the same name under the Bay of Bengal? --

Harry Young's article clearly says, "northwest coastal town of
Dwarka, sacred to Krishna".
Poompuhar is in south-east India and has nothing to do with Dwarka. The article only says that the NIO divers explored a masonry site 5 km off Poompuhar in Bay of Bengal in addition to their expeditions in Dwarka, a coastal town in northwest India. I have been to both these places myself and am pretty sure there is no place named Dwarka in the Bay of Bengal.

In defining a bay in the sentence that the Bay of Bengal is the largest bay, is it defined according to any particular difference between a bay and a sea, or is it simply defined by whether Sea or Bay is part of the body of water's name?? If it's the latter, I suggest changing this statement to saying that the Bay of Bengal is the largest body of water named with Bay. Any objections??

This question hasn't been bothered for nearly 2 years. There's a citation in the article, but does the citation reveal that the Bay of Bengal is the largest bay according to any well-defined meaning of the word, or just by the use of the word Bay in the geographical name??

RFC on adding Bengali language name to the article
User:BijoyChakrabarty has been adding the name of Bay of Bengal in
Bengali, i.e. বঙ্গোপসাগর, with the justification that "It is because the Bay is named after Bengal and it is no harm to write up the name in Bengali language even."
I have reverted the edits, as Bay of Bengal has a coastline covering multiple countries and as such, the official language of one countries should not be arbitrarily included in the article, which is in the English language Wikipedia. And, going by the above logic, we might have to include (
Bengali: বাঘ) in the
Bengal tiger article!

Dear editors,
It will be more informative if we attach the list of all the sea ports located and active in the bay of Bengal. If we do this it will be more easy to know about this bay and subcontinent.
So please, We should do it

Here it is written, in the classical India the Bay of Bengal was called Kalinga Sagar. But the sources of this information are not trustworthy. Because Mr. Mohanty gave his own opinion and also Bay of Bengal does not include only Kalinga region of India. So how can we say that?

This is cited to an article in the The Journal of Territorial and Maritime Studies, a peer-reviewed journal. This is a top-tier source and attempts to remove it or tag it as unreliable are completely improper.

Already read the journal. This journal is just someone's opinion. He didn't mention it in which historical source it was written "Kalinga Sagar". The citation is not not trustworthy.And how did you know, it is a peer reviewed journal?
