In bn_BD [1] locale it says,
-----------------------
LC_COLLATE
% TODO: Bengali sorting should be added
copy "iso14651_t1"

END LC_COLLATE
-----------------------


In bn_IN [2] locale it says,
-----------------------
LC_COLLATE
% Copy the template from ISO/IEC 14651
copy "iso14651_t1"

%
END LC_COLLATE
-----------------------

I don't see any difference in the LC_COLLATE block, except the % comment 
line. :-?

Best,
