Answer:
A hotbed of the Indian Independence movement through the early 20th century, Bengal was partitioned along religious lines. The western part went to India (and was named West Bengal) while the eastern part joined Pakistan as a province called East Bengal (later renamed East Pakistan, giving rise to Bangladesh in 1971).

Here's your answer buddy.
West Bengal lies in the east but still it is called as West Bengal because at the south of the state lies the 'Bay of Bengal'.
Hope it helps you :-)
