Yes they were settled in Jorashako much before partition
Kabuliwala was written by Rabindranath in India and the film was made much later in India not in Bangladesh
By that logic, most of us West Bengalis are Bangladeshis because our families came from East Bengal way before the partition. 😆
Yes, in the first Kabuliwala movie, Sharmila Tagore's younger sister Tinku Thakur played the role of Mini and Chhabi Biswas played Kabuliwala role in 1957 Bengali version, then in 1961 Balraj Sahni did Kabuliwala role.
