What is the history behind Tintin comics being translated into Bengali, and how does it relate to their digital availability?

Tintin comics have a long and cherished history of translation into Bengali, primarily by Ananda Publishers in West Bengal, India, with renowned translators like Nirendranath Chakraborty. This has cemented Tintin's immense popularity in Bengali-speaking regions. However, this history of successful print translation does not automatically extend to free digital availability; the digital rights are also controlled by the publishers and copyright holders, meaning that even highly popular print translations are typically not offered for free as PDFs.
