What geographical problems did Pakistan encounter as a new country in 1947?

Answer 1

Accession of Princely States Prior to partition, there existed in British India many semi-autonomous Princely states whose future had to be settled before Britain withdrew from India. There were some 560 such states all over the Sub-continent. Some fell within Indian territory, others in Pakistan. On July 25, 1947, Lord Louis Mountbatten (the last Viceroy of India) in his address to the Chamber of Princes advised them that in deciding the question of accession, they should take into consideration communal composition and the geographical location of their states. Nearly all the states accepted the reality of the situation and opted either for Pakistan or India accordingly. But there were four states, Junagadh, Hyderabad, Jodhpur and Kashmir, which defied the principle of partition. I. Junagadh: The ruler of Junagadh was a Muslim but 80 percent of his subjects were Hindus. On September 15, 1947, the Nawab acceded to Pakistan, despite the fact that his state did not fall within the geographical grouping of Pakistan. India protested, stormed in her troops, and forcibly reversed the Nawab's decision and Junagadh became a part of India. II. Hyderabad: Hyderabad, the second of the defiant states was the largest and richest in India. Its population was 85 percent Hindu but the ruler (Nizam) was a Muslim. He was reluctant to accede either to India or Pakistan but was dismissed by Mountbatten for adopting this course. The Nizam was forced by the Indian government and Lord Mountbatten to join India. A standstill agreement was concluded between India and Hyderabad. The Hindu subjects were incited to revolt against the Nizam's desire to be independent. The whole province suffered turmoil and violence. Hyderabad filed a compliant with the Security Council of the United Nations. Before the hearing could be started, Indian troops entered Hyderabad to "restore order", and under the pretext of "police action" Hyderabad was forced to join India. The Hyderabad army surrendered on September 17, 1948, and finally Hyderabad was annexed into the Indian Union. III. Jodhpur: Yet another prince, the Maharaja of Jodhpur, expressed a wish to join Pakistan but Mountbatten warned him that his subjects were mostly Hindus and his accession to Pakistan would create problems. As a result Jodhpur, too, acceded to India. IV. Kashmir: Please see "Kashmir Crisis".

Answer 2

Pakistan was split into two separate parts almost a thousand miles apart by the land that belonged to India. They had no natural boundary and had significant differences between the people of the two regions. Bengal and West Punjab even being the largely Muslim areas had very little things in common.

Answer 3

Most of the problems were caused by the sudden and unplanned withdrawl of british from the subcontinent. The major problems were the splitting up of Pakistan in two pieces with the hostile territory of India between them. Also problematic was the lack of trained soldiers and officers. India also took control of Central Bank and did not pay Pakistan its due share of money. There was a lack of trained officials and of seasoned politicians.

2. No Religious sectarianism and end of Mulla's 'theka' of Islam

3. No provinces or Provincial assemblies or MPAs, instead administrative divisions may they be 20 or 30.

Answer 6

Numerous issues were dealt within the 26 years till pakistan get a unanimously accepted constitution. the biggest issue that plagued Pakistan at the time of its creation was that divided into two halves, East and west are separated by eleven hundared miles of hostile terrory of India. The social fabric of each half was just as divided as the state was, in term of language, culture and political structure. thus each time a constitution was drafted the tussal between the east and west and their issues of party and provincial autonomy proved to be a great hindrance in law-making.

Answer 7

Pakistan faced two major geographical issues at the time of independence. When Pakistan came into being it was divided into two geographical regions West Pakistan (Currently known as Pakistan) and East Pakistan (Currently known as Bangladesh).

It was very difficult for the rulers of that time to administer both regions capably and West Pakistan got separated from East Pakistan in 1971. Another geographical issue which is even now is as hot as it was in 1947 is the Kashmir issue. This issue was left undecided by British Rulers in 1947 and is still a bone of contention between India and Pakistan.
