but i think we can implement only one in glibc.

Thats nice
Now i think we can do more accurate work for Bengali collation.

It will be if you see once /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1_common, this is
common file for collation data and included in almost all locale file in
LC_COLLATE section, 
We should also add Bengali collation data in this file only.
Advantage of keeping collation data in this file is that, your collation data
will be available to OS even if one select other locale. 
I saw your file, nice work, but it will be nice if you follow
iso14651_t1_common file structure.

check my earlier comments, i have done some work for Bengali and it is in final
stage, it will be nice if you check it once and suggest any modification if
require.

It will be nice if Bengali India and Bangladesh collation orders are 100% same,
but even if there are any difference it will not create any problem as both
have different locale file and we can update differences in respective locale
file. so it will not affect on and other. 
(for example, Devanagari script is share by Marathi, Hindi, Sanskrit language's
though there basic sorting is in common file and some miscellaneous sorting
stuff in respective locale file check mr_IN  reorder)
