Lolz what a great Picture for an examples. Three questions
1. What was the population of the eastern pakistan and western pakistan, and why was they neglected first hand by the Pakistani leadership.
2. Leave aside picture why do Pakistani Army gave up so easily without much resistance.
3. Did you heard something like Red Diary of a famous Pakistani General.
@ Definitely the Eastern population was larger but sometimes population cannot be considered a vital factor. Well if it had been a continuous geographical territory then it would have been a vital point. Pakistan was not allowed to develop the integrity & co-existence between East and West. The conspiracy started from day one.(from Indian side) From the very beginning Pakistan politics was dominated by the Shia Muslims like Jinnah, Liakiat Ali Khan. The finance back ground came from Aga Khan who were also Shia and most important point was majority of them came from India and they did not have their own local constituency. Even, Liakiat Ali Khan was elected from the then East Pakistan through a by-election. East Bengal had been neglected since long specially once British established their foot hold at Calcutta after Battle of Pallassy in 1757. Though initially some Bengali Muslims joined in Bengal Presidency Army but during
Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 most of them revolted and hanged. On the other hand Muslim Pathans & Punjabi's of West collaborated with East India Company and crushed the movement. In 1947, after independence in East Bengal there was a skeleton of one Divisional HQ located in Dacca having only 1 x Punjab Battalion a lonely fighting force- what a joke ! On the the other hand newly formed Pakistan had at least 3-5 Division fighting force with all elements. By September 1965 East Pakistan had 3 x Brigade located in Comilla, Jessore and Rangpur and by 1968 another Brigade was raised probably at Dacca.
@ The above development of military installation in the then East Pakistan was definitely slow but fact was Pakistan did not get respite from the day one so what ever military armaments she got from either America or China or from Iran put on the Kashmir sector with a high hope.
@ Till, 1958 once there was a democracy in Pakistan, the political system was running fine but problem arose once Civil & Military elites started conspiracy against the majority Bengalise without realizing the long lasting effect. During the Ayub's Decades of Development the sytem was running good but 3rd party took the advantage and started conspiracy to dismember Pakistan. Here 3rd party means mainly USA, India and USSR.
@ In1971 in Eastern Sector, the Pakistani main fighting force did not gave up, they were fighting as per the fighting spirit but some upper elements of Pakistan Army both at East Wing and West lost the confidence to fight specially in East Pakistan and started negotiating with USA and other group to stop the war. These groups were mainly the
Mahajir group commonly known as
Hindustani in Pakistan.
