Answers

Answered by tejasgupta

This is because when India was divided after independence, the province of Bengal (which included present-day West Bengal and Bangladesh) was divided into East Bengal (present day Bangladesh) and West Bengal. Later, East Bengal was renamed to Bangladesh as a separate country.

Thanks!
