We introduce culturomic studies on a leading Bengali newspaper corpus - Ananda Bazar Patrika, in the same spirit as [15]. Based on 11 years' worth of Bengali newswire text, we are able to extract trajectories of salient words that are of importance in contemporary West Bengal. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a culturomic trend analysis is being performed on an Indic language. As a result of our analysis, we obtain interesting insights into word usage and cultural shift in contemporary West Bengal. Moreover, we model culturomic trajectories using ARIMA and obtain word usage predictions that closely follow actual usage patterns.
