The direction refers to the direction that one must travel FROM EUROPE to arrive. You must go west to the West Indies and east to the East Indies. Before Columbus' discovery he was trying to find a route to India and/or the East Indies. At the time of his discovery trade for Far East items like silk and spices involved several steps from source to destination making the products very expensive and very slow to obtain. Had Columbus been successful the Europeans could have gone directly to the source, purchased precisely what they wanted, without a markup for any intermediary, and returned home with product in a relatively short period of time. A direct ocean route around Africa to the East indies was found by Vasco de Gama for the Portuguese in 1498.

West Indies Indians are often referred to as East Indians because they are descendants of Indian laborers who were brought to the Caribbean from the Indian subcontinent, primarily from regions like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, during the British colonial period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The term "East Indian" distinguishes them from Indigenous peoples and other ethnic groups in the Caribbean. This label reflects their origins from the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent, even though they are now part of the West Indies.
