Answer:
East Pakistan then came to be known as Bangladesh. Thus, there became two Bangla speaking regions-- One, Bengal in India and other, the whole of Bangladesh. Now, since Bengal in India is west to that of Bangladesh,
Bangladesh came to be known as East Bengal and Bengal ( in India) came to be known as West Bengal.
