Pakistan (Punjab, Sindh, North-West Frontier Province, and Baluchistan) into a single administrative unit to enhance
efficiency and reduce ethnic and regional tensions.

2. Imagine you are a resident of East Pakistan during the language riots. Develop a persuasive argument for or
against the demand for Bengali as the official language, considering the social, cultural, and political aspects.

language in preserving our rich heritage.

played a role in the eventual formation of Bangladesh in 1971.

being of the nation for stability and growth.

Movement in 1952. It played a key role in the creation of Bangladesh in 1971.

economic planning. Learning from the 1971 split, it's crucial to address regional differences and focus on national unity.
