On the contrary, had BD remained East Pakistan we would have divided resources of existing Pakistan.. and regarding strategic locations, I must tell you two can play the game. Pakistan does not have to resources to deal with India even now and with BD in place with them, totally unfavorable to them, would have left them extensively short handed making their position weaker even from where they stand today. The excessive hostile population would have caused more harm than any benefit to them..
Just give it a thought.. But still I will take my previous comment back. India helped them in their times of need but if they don't realize what that means then it just shows what their character is? These people who comment on BD section actually sounds like some religious fanatics and that's unfortunate.
