Pakistan Studies Partition Of Bengladesh / Separation Of East MCQs
Overview of Separation Of EAST Pakistan
The separation of East Pakistan was a great setback to Pakistan.
By 1970, sentiments for national unity had weakened in East Pakistan to the
extent that constant conflict between the two Wings dramatically erupted into
mass civil disorder. This tragically resulted in the brutal and violent
amputation of Pakistan’s Eastern Wing. The physical separation of a thousand
miles between the two wings without a common border, and being surrounded by
Indian territory and influences, led to constant political, economic and social
conflicts between the two wings; embittering relations bringing the country on
the verge of collapse.
