East Pakistan chose the name Bangladesh, which means "Land of Bengal," to emphasize its cultural and linguistic identity, distinct from West Pakistan. The name symbolized the region's struggle for autonomy and self-determination, especially after the 1971 liberation war. It reflected the desire to assert a national identity rooted in Bengali heritage, language, and history. Ultimately, the name change marked the establishment of an independent nation following years of political and cultural marginalization.
