No. Actually, West Bengal is in eastern India. Before partition, Bangladesh and West Bengal were together. After partition whole Bengal was divided into two parts. The eastern part is now known as Bangladesh, an independent country and the western part as West Bengal, a part of India.

Bangladesh (east) & west Bengal was once a combined state (State of Bengal). After partition of Bengal, the part falling in India became West Bengal, (which still retains the name), while East Bengal (rather east Pakistan) came to be known as Bangladesh, after it gained freedom from Pakistan. The west Bengal lies on the east portion of India and must not be confused as a misnomer.

In the period of British India (until 1947), the area now known as Bangladesh was one part of the area called Bengal. Modern West Bengal and Assam (both part of modern India) were also parts of the region of Bengal under British rule. Bengal was briefly divided into West Bengal and East Bengal & Assam beginning in 1905, but this was unsuccessful and was abandoned after seven years.When India was partitioned in 1947, East Bengal was separated from West Bengal roughly along religious lines. East Bengal soon became East Pakistan, and after a bloody war for independence from West Pakistan (now Pakistan), the nation of Bangladesh was formed in 1971.
