Yes. Bangladesh and Bengal used to be one area before 1947. then what is now known as Bangladesh was called east Pakistan until 1971.

It is now known as Bangladesh. Bangladesh is where Bengali speakin Muslims live.

West Pakistan became known as Pakistan in 1971 where Muslims speak Urdu and Punjabi.

But before partition in 1947 the land mass that today belongs to the Indian state of Bengal and Bangladesh was all one piece of land with hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, christians, europeans etc.
