Why WEST BENGAL is in EAST??!

Описание: Why is West Bengal located in the East of India? Was it a British mistake, a historical blunder, or is there a deeper reason behind this confusing name?

Well the history dates back to 1905 when today's Bangladesh and West Bengal was one region. Britishers as per their divide and rule policy divided the region into parts - West and East Bengal. East was Muslim dominated and West was Hindu dominated. Later when partition happened, East Bengal went to Pakistan and began East Pakistan.

It continued for 20 years. Then in 1971, East Pakistan revolted asking for independence. Indian Army helped them in the same. Hence, it became Bangladesh. With West Bengal, the name never changed and remains as it is till now.
