What is East Pakistan and West Pakistan?

Answer 1

Basically,East and west Pakistan has only one difference, that is of the Language.Both have the same major religion that is Islam.However there are some conflicts.the only reason for the separation of east Pakistan was the Dictatorship.In my Opinion Still People of both parts remember each other.the people of west Pakistan still want east Pakistan to reunite as a country,because both the enemy of both east and west Pakistan is common.

Another Answer:

East Pakistan at the time of separation represented 58% of the population of ALL of Pakistan. After an election in 197o an East Pakistani leader was elected called Sheikh Mujib. This it seems was unacceptable to the Dominant yet minority 42% West Pakistani population. The Unanimous vote was given to Sheikh Mujib due to pure oppression of the majority

Examples of neglect include:

The East Pakistani population was 58% of the total population of the country. This majority were not even allowed to have their language as one f the national languages until after a bloody battle between army and students.

Sub standard goods were sold from West Pakistan to East Pakistan at double the price. East Pakistan was not allowed to deal directly with any neighbouring countries

East Pakistani had no representation in the armed forces or in government or local office.

Modern day Bangladesh (as East Pakistan is now called), has its own economy and own government and is freely practicing democracy and religion.

Answer 2

In 1947 British India was partitioned along religious lines, any areas where the Hindus were in majority became India. Pakistan was created as a homeland for the Muslims. What became East and West Pakistan were the areas of British India that had a majority Muslim population. East and West Pakistan were situated on different ends of the subcontinent with India in the middle.

West Pakistan is modern day Pakistan and East Pakistan became Bangladesh in 1971.
