- West Bengal is called West Bengal because, present -day Bangladesh was once called East Bengal, though that country has experienced quite a change in names yet West Bengal never got a change in its name. ... In the year 1905 then viceroy of India, Lord Curzon partitioned Bengal into two parts - East Bengal and West Bengal.
