Baking Powder - is a leavener containing a combination of baking soda, an acid such as Cream Of Tartare and a moisture absorber such as corn starch. When mixed with liquid, baking powder releases carbon dioxide gas bubbles that cause bread or cake to rise.
Baking Soda - is also known as bicarbonate of soda, it’s used as a leavener in baked goods. When combined with an acid ingredient such as buttermilk, yoghurt, or molasses, baking soda produces carbon dioxide gas bubbles, thereby causing the dough or the batter to rise.
**Meetha Soda **- is soda bi-carbonate.

Re: baking soda

Baking soda, meetha soda are the same.

Baking powder may be different depending on the manufacturer for example, I can sell something with table salt and sugar added in baking soda and sell it as baking powder. As "Baking powder" is not a name of a chemical compound. But baking soda is a component of all baking powders.

Baking soda and meetha soda are conventional names of Sodium bicarbonate.
