====Khulna and Murshidabad Districts====
The [[Khulna District]] (with a marginal Hindu majority of 51%) was given to East Pakistan in lieu of the [[Murshidabad district]] (with a 70% Muslim majority), which went to India. However, the Pakistani flag remained hoisted in Murshidabad for three days until it was replaced by the Indian flag on the afternoon of 17 August 1947.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Nawabs' Murshidabad House lies in tatters |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Nawabs-Murshidabad-House-lies-in-tatters/articleshow/48507315.cms |newspaper=The Times of India |access-date=2 May 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170105200042/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Nawabs-Murshidabad-House-lies-in-tatters/articleshow/48507315.cms |archive-date=5 January 2017  }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=19 August 1947 |title=Hindus & Muslims embrace each other as brothers |pages=5 |work=Amrita Bazaar Patrika |publication-place=Dhaka |url=http://ndl.iitkgp.ac.in/document/dnRXSXI2MHZXMHpiU29aRTFhNHNhUT09 |access-date=15 January 2023 |quote="As per announcement of June 3 last Murshidabad has been placed in Eastern Pakistan Dominion.
