abstract
  • East Pakistan is a unitary parliamentary republic located in Southeast Asia, on the fertile Bengal delta. It is bordered by the Republic of India to its north, west and east, by the nation of Burma, to its south-east and by the Bay of Bengal to its south. It is separated from the Democratic Republic of Nepal and the Kingdom of Bhutan by the narrow India Siliguri Corridor.Together with the neighboring Indian state of West Bengal, it makes up the ethno-linguistic region of Bengal. Following the Partition of Bengal and British India in 1947, the modern borders of Bangladesh took shape, and the region became the eastern wing of the newly created state of Pakistan. In 1971 years of political exclusion, ethnic and linguistic discrimination, and economic neglect by the politically dominant western wing, a surge of popular agitation, nationalism and civil disobedience led to Bangladesh Liberation War, separating Bangladesh from Pakistan as an independent state.
