Post independence issues

With the help of Allah Almighty, Islamic Republic of Pakistan came into being on 14 th
August 1947 but Indian National Congress did not accept the creation of Pakistan from
the core of its heart. Lord Mountbatten and Sir Radcliff conspired with the Hindu leaders
to create a weak moth eaten Pakistan that would ultimately confederate with Indian
Union. The people of Pakistan, who faced all the problems and difficult circumstances,
showed their determination to defend the freedom.
Following are the issues facing by Pakistan administration are given below

Refugees
Millions of Muslim families migrated to Pakistan. On the way to Pakistan, a very
large number of Muslims were massacred and the properties were looted with the help
of British forces. The number of the Muslims who finally crossed the border was more
than 1,25,00,000. The oppressed and depressed Muslims were temporarily provided
accommodations in camps. To rehabilitate the refugees in Pakistan was a very big task
for the administration. The provision of shelter, clothing and food for them was a great
responsibility

Indus water Problem

The natural flow of rivers in the province of Punjab was affected by the partition
of the province. No state can change the course of the river and deprive another state
of its water. The canals and barrages may be built but with the consent of the
concerned state or states. India planned to build up dams and barrages and checked the
flow of water to Pakistan in April 1948. This step affected the agriculture and economy
of the West Punjab. The rivers Ravi, Sutlaj and Bias enter the territory of Pakistan from
Indian side and they have been the major sources of irrigation in the area. Sir Radcliffe,
in his unjust Award handed Ferozpur and Madhupur Head- works to India inspite of the
fact that the project was working in Muslim majority area. The matter was sorted out
and the two countries were brought on the negotiation table. World Bank visualized the
whole situation and promised to help Pakistan in the hours of crisis. A huge amount was
allocated to solve the issue. Indus Basin Treaty was consequently signed in 1960,
between the two countries. Pakistan conceded three rivers (Ravi, Sutluj Bias) to India
and reciprocally India left its claim on the waters of rivers Jhelum, Chenab and Sindh.
Problem of States:
At the time of creation of Pakistan there were 635 small and big states. These
states had given an open option to join Pakistan or India or remain independent. There
were four states on which India take control by force and problem was arise because
these state wanted to join Pakistan these state over Kashmir, Hayderabad, Junagargh
and Monarader.
