Pakistan mainly familiar for its turbulent political environment. For many years Pakistan have been under the direct or indirect rule of military junta. Pakistan's history is really unique. Pakistan became as an independent country on 14 August 1947. Then this country had two wings. One part was called West Pakistan and the other was East Pakistan. The distance between this two wings was over thousand miles. This form of state was really rare in the world. There was no similarity between the people of the two parts of Pakistan except religion. But this is not the matter there are many states in the world where different ethnic communities are living side by side for many years.For example in India there are hundreds of different ethnic groups are living and we can certainly tell that India is not a weak state. There are dissatisfaction among the ethnic groups of India and many ethnic groups want independence and self-determination but Indian leaders somehow manage to create unity among the ethnic groups and make them believe in Indian nationalism. Indian democracy helps to create India as a strong country though it has many internal problem. On the contrary the then Pakistani, most of them were from the elite society of West Pakistan, leaders failed to create any kind of national unity. They treated East Pakistan as an internal colony. This was the great mistake of the arrogant West Pakistani leader. They underestimated the power of the Bengali people.
There were no social contact between the people of the East Pakistan and the West Pakistan. As a result there were no interaction between them and probably they did not understand the emotion of each other. This isolation from each other made it inevitable for the two part of the country to be separated. There were disparity in the every sector between East Pakistan and West Pakistan- from economy to military, from education to government job, everywhere. The willpower of the people of the Bangladesh made it possible to be an independent nation state.
