M.Akram Khan Niazi, Pakistan

Usually smaller Parts of a country having extraordinary resources tries to break away from the mainland to take the maximum advantage of their resources for their advantage, and to protect themselves from the drain of their resources to majority or dominant section of the country, but in case of Pakistan Majority Part on the basis of population, which was also having scare resources, separated from the other part, Generally, it is regarded as an unfortunate event for Pakistan by people of Pakistan, and no Pakistani tries to see other side of the coin of that event for analysis of the benefits achieved to them by this event The reason of this is that all literature about that event has been written by those who were living in ast Pakistan and they suffered personally by this event, due to which they always indicate their miseries and losses and forget to explain the advantages of that event to whole Pakistani !ation" Therefore, it is necessary to see the real results of this event" #ith the separation of ast Pakistan, following advantages were achieved to Pakistan" $" conomical %&eparation of 'angladesh was as much beneficial for Pakistan as separation of Pakistan from (ndia" %)s the part of world in which ast Pakistan was situated, was having limited resources, and many poor areas of subcontinent are situated in that part, such as 'ihar , )ssam ,#est 'engal, 'urma and 'hutan" Technically it was not in the interest of Pakistan, to keep itself attached with ast 'engal*+istorically one of the most poorest area of subcontinent, "(n fact Pakistan after separation saved its future from economic burden of poverty ridden 'angladesh, % +uge Population and scare resources of ast 'engal were clear (ndicators, that there will be no extraordinary progress in future in that province and no sensible person may think that it was valuable for Pakistan to keep itself attached with most poverty ridden part of this region" %'eing a part of ast Pakistan, rulers were forcing to #est Pakistani citi-ens to become a market of ast Pakistan.s low /uality Products, such as Tea, Pans and jute on artificial high prices on the name of Patriotism, while now such type high /uality Products may be purchased from other countries on very low prices" %)fter separation of 'angladesh, it was possible for Pakistan to make its economic policies without having any concern of interests of a far situated part" %Pakistan conomic Managers relieved themselves from the conomic restrictions due to economic interest of ast 'engal" That situation was as much harmful, as today Pakistan start to take care of the economic interest of Myanmar or #est 'engal0 it is certain that such type situation will be disastrous for Pakistan" %#ith the analysis of economic situation of present day Pakistan and 'angladesh, shows that Pakistan G1P and 2oreign currency reserves are double than that of 'angladesh and lectricity production is also 3 times more" (t is obvious, that separation was much more in the interest of Pakistan, 'ecause, the only solution of the 1isparity between two parts, was to serve the 'angladesh with the resources of #est Pakistan" 4therwise there was no other magic solution to address that disparity" %(t is still obvious that, there is still no charm in having trade links with countries of &outh )sia, because it is not in the economic interest of Pakistan, instead of that we should focus on rich and developed areas such as 5hina, Middle ast, 2ar ast, urope and U&)" 6" Political )dvantages" %1ue to extraordinary majority of 'engali Population, it was not possible for any province of #est Pakistan to become e/uivalent to that majority any time in future, and it was certain that representatives of Provinces of #est Pakistan will always remain in opposition in assemblies as per modern time democracy principles, this was really a frightening situation and the People of Pakistan were going to be ruled by any ethnocentric 'engali 7eader or by any 'engali Military dictator for ever" %1ue to 'engali nationalism and ethnocentrism, on the basis of which People of 'angladesh were

victimi-ing the Urdu &peaking Muslim refugees from (ndia and that is still continue, and their thnic 5leansing with aborigines people of 5+T, were clearly indicating that people of that area were not sincere and aware of the (deology of Pakistan, in fact attachment of Pakistan with ast 'engal was self deception and nothing else" %1ue to agitation style and different culture, the politicians of ast Pakistan were always blaming Pakistan for their problems and exploitations, while people of Pakistan were worried about deteriorating condition of people of ast Pakistan due to poverty and natural disasters, and they were too much fed up with that situation as they were seeing no end of all this, as this thing was also harming the 'asic (deology of Pakistan, and therefore to get rid of this situation and to avoid baseless allegations it was necessary to separate that area* ast 'engal, from Pakistan, and this was the main reason that #est Pakistani Military Personnel, even having capability for defending that part decided very easily and conveniently to end their any relation with that land on the basis of the facts that they were tired of all those messy affairs" % 1ue to separation of ast Pakistan, Pakistan saved itself and its ideology from baseless criticism of 'engalese Politicians, and now on real grounds they are blaming each other for their problems" %#ith the separation of 'angladesh, Pakistan (slamic (deology became more prominent with the introduction of (slamic laws and future scenario of Pakistan became much more firmed with the conversion of population ratio to 89 : Muslims, while with 'angladesh, presence of +uge +indu minority was having adverse effects on the ideological progress of the country" ;" &ecurity )dvantages< )s ast Pakistan was situated in the abdomen and inside the body of (ndia and thousand miles away from #est Pakistan, (ndia was using this factor for blackmailing and pressuri-ing Pakistan from the beginning, (n fact burden of huge population of ast 'engal was loaded on #est Pakistan to make Pakistan a crippled and failed state by (ndian !ational 5ongress" (ndia used that part as a button for keeping under pressure to Pakistan in $8=>, in war of $8?3 and again in $8>@ with policy to occupy large chunk of land in ast Pakistan" 1ue to $@@@ miles distance between both parts and that also filled by enemy land, in such worst scenario even maintaining contacts between security forces and their mobility was in fact a difficult, expensive and life taking task, accompanied with wastage of huge resources, ultimately resulting in weakening of 1efense forces and economy of the country" 'y separation of ast 'engal, Pakistan was able to get rid of its weak point which was a most easy and favorite target of (ndia" 1ue to that now Pakistan 1efense is more strong and protected as compared to vulnerable and weak position before $8>$" =" &ocial )dvantages< %#ith the separation of 'engal flow of population from densely populated 'angladesh to parts of #est Pakistan stopped, which was a good development for the culture and social set up of #est Pakistan" %1ue to two national languages, 5ultural evolution of the people of #est Pakistan was stopped and their local languages were dying, with the separation of 'angladesh, that process was stopped" %)fter separation of 'angladesh huge jobs opportunities were raised for people of different provinces of #est Pakistan in both 2ederal and Provincial Governments" 1ue to elimination of share of people of 'engalese in civilian Aobs, which resulted in an increase in participation of local population in the affairs of country, by this their sense of depriving was minimi-ed" %People of 'engal are usually dark skinned, while people of #est Pakistan were of 2air &kinned, due to continuous flow of 'engalese from ast 'engal was creating racial discomfort and fears in the mind of local populations, that by this they will become minority in their own provinces, specially in the case when 2ederal Government was encouraging 'engalese to rehabilitate in #est Pakistan, 'y separation of ast 'engal this process of migration was also stopped" This is the reason that after separation of ast Pakistan, Mr" Mujibur Behman was immediately released by President Culfi/ar )li 'hutto, and he never expressed any regret about creation of 'angladesh" &imilarly once Prersident CiaDulD+a/ commented that freedom fighters of 'angladesh were in fact the freedom fighters of Pakistan, !ow 'angladesh is a free country and Pakistan is also a free country" (t is crystal clear from all above mentioned facts that separation from Problematic ast 'engal created new life and new freedom in Pakistan" #ritten 'y M")kram Ehan !ia-i" Earachi,Pakistan
