If during 1300-1700 the Eastern Bengal is controlled by Hindus, it would become solidly Hindus, I'm speaking 80+%.How can all of Bengal remain Hindu? What will the effects be??
With Bengal remaining Hindus, you are adding nearly over 200 million people more to Hinduism,If during 1300-1700 the Eastern Bengal is controlled by Hindus, it would become solidly Hindus, I'm speaking 80+%.
Well the overall effects would stem more from the weaker Muslims in India than the demographics themselves, not sure what the effects would be for the East Indies, their islamization happened with the Bengal one.
Didn't the Rohingya originate during British Raj times? In any case I imagine the Bengalis under Buddhist control would end up as Buddhist.With Bengal remaining Hindus, you are adding nearly over 200 million people more to Hinduism,
the other obvious effects would be Islam being weaker in eastern India, the Rohingya being Hindus and India being stronger
Hard to see that. Cavalry armies invading India from the north went through the plains first, which ended somewhere around the periphery of Bengal. Any further conquest of the South would most likely be launched from a Muslim dominated North not vice-versa.What if the Deccan was as solidly Muslim as Bengal is OTL, in tandem with this POD?
Yes and no. There are evidence of Muslim Bengali settlement in Northern Rakhine/Arakhan since the 14-15th century, but their numbers did increase during the Raj.Didn't the Rohingya originate during British Raj times?

Yes , the rohingya would be Hindu BuddhistDidn't the Rohingya originate during British Raj times? In any case I imagine the Bengalis under Buddhist control would end up as Buddhist.
The resistance would be too highWhat if the Deccan was as solidly Muslim as Bengal is OTL, in tandem with this POD?
Most Rohingyas come from Bengali slaves captured by the seventeenth-century Theravada kingdom of Arakan.Didn't the Rohingya originate during British Raj times?
Well I'm not sure how even if they came during Britisj Raj times it would justify anything, in any case from what I read the Muslim population almost tripled between 1870-1910 while the total population just almost doubled(and even there it was due to migration from other areas of Burma)Most Rohingyas come from Bengali slaves captured by the seventeenth-century Theravada kingdom of Arakan.
E: Also, you should be a bit more careful about saying that. This inaccurate claim is how the Burmese regime is justifying an ongoing ethnic cleansing.
