Opportunity comes tip toes and bang the door when it goes. So the door is still banging. Had Pakistan took the advantage of situation. Atoot Ang Slogan would have long gone.
Look at this way..we could have taken entire Kashmir and more from you in 1971. You had already lost half you country, one third of your army, one fourth of your navy and one fifth of your air force uptill Decmber 16th 1971 ..had we continued the war...you would have suffered major losses in the west too.
Situation in West was not the same as East and India was weak on this end. Certain communication took place between senior military officials of both the countries and commitments were made, but unfortunately those were not honoured by Inida. Please don't take this as blame game, it is just narration of some facts. Pakistan's west wing was well guarded and India would have suffered heavily on this front which prompted it to go for a deal. East was had internal problems, where India took the advantage and engaged army at the borders, whereas they were supposed to be countering enemy within. A limited force fighting at two fronts is bound to end up in troubles. This does not absolve army from their act of cease fire. It was weakness of the commander who developed a pressure on decision makers to go for surrender. Had the army not surrendered, scenario might be other then creation of BD.
the simple reason is ayub was busy feeling important and with advisers like zulfiqar [bhutto] who sold off east pakistan later, what do you expect....
And where are you going to get the money to do that, considering your collapsing currency, collapsing growth, and booming deficits?
Unfortunately, this could not have happened. History cannot be denied and it is always written by victors. In 1971 BD was victor, therefore, those considered traitors in Pakistan are their heroes. Though a military regime was in place in 1971 but political leaders in lust of power divided this country to achieve their vested interests. Intentional blunders were committed to satisfy their vested interests, an opportunity given to a third stake holder. Propaganda war started where west Pakistanis were fed with notions of being supporters of flood riddled east Pakistan and East Pakistanis were told that West Pakistanis are taking away their golden fiber. Apparently these things seem very petty, but when such points are agitated again and again. It becomes a big issue. There were many such petty issues which could have been resolved amicably but were allowed to develop into cancer.
Armies can fight on the front and return victorious, but history is a witness that wars are not lost because of armies but because of traitors within the ranks. Mukti Baini may be a liberation force for BD and their members must be regarded as heroes. For Pakistan those were traitors.

I should have asked her out.
I should have bought Apple stock.
I could have...
You would have...
They should have...
With the ruling lot of Pakistan's sellout politicians, Pakistan is more likely to help India than China in a war.
