Pakistani Biharis used to treat us, Bengalis as their slaves - Mukti Bahini fighter

I think the major issue with (East Pakistan) Bangladesh was they thought Pakistan had great amount of Cash which they did not shared with Bangladesh. But we did not had that much cash, people in West Pakistan made 1-4 Rupees per day only

1965 War left our Economy (United Pakistan) lacking financial funding , and things went to worse with constant Floods in (East Pakistan) Bangladesh

Was Extra water intentionally released in East Pakistan / Bangladesh , to cause maximum suffering to East Pakistani , you be the judge look at the flood table ?

(Evidence)
Flood Year ---%of effected SQ/km
  • 1962 - 25%
  • 1963 - 29%
  • 1968 - 25%
  • 1970 - 28%

FACT: Year 1970
1970, President Yahya Khan had to deal with a devastating cyclone which caused 500,000 deaths in East Pakistan.

Who invested in East Pakistan to setup Textile Industry , Yep West Pakistanis ? This is a historical fact that Pakistan Moved Textile Industry to East Pakistan

  • Who got jobs in East Pakistan ? Yep East Pakistanis

FACT Pakistanis did tried to set up companies in East Pakistan
  • From 1947 to 1971 the textile industry, like most industries in East Pakistan, were largely owned by West Pakistanis (Historical fact so anyone claiming , west Pakistan did no Industrial development in East is wrong people invested to help East Pakistan)

Today any investor comes to Invest in East Pakistan (Bangladesh) people will not argue why are you investing ? West Pakistani should have been thanked for their help

So when you view the problems United Pakistan faced , were not just name calling we had to deal with "Large scale Natural Disaster " which drained on National GDP or savings.

Dealing with 500,000 Deaths was a major issue , and also you can imagine how much pressure it put on National Reserves

East Pakistan (Bangladesh's ) major issue was weather "Curse" and it had nothing to do with West Pakistani in the BIG SCHEME of things

People just used the floods as a excuse to blame West Pakistan for their problems
if there were "no Floods" economy in East Pakistan would be similar to that of West Pakistan


So who really floods East Pakistan (Bangladesh) now and even in Past ? India
You see Indians release water at will to flood East Pakistan (Bangladesh)

Is this West Pakistan problem ? Or India
Were 500,000 Deaths were caused by West Pakistan or Indian River ?

If anything , the nation that caused damage to East Pakistan's economy was India due to floods from 2 sides as can be seen in image 1 / image 2

Even today - your economy is damaged by Indian floods and you cannot blame it on West Pakistan

India brings floods to Bangladesh even now

You cannot blame West Pakistan for your Natural Disasters , we tried to setup Textile industry in East Pakistan and improve lives of Bangali , but it was India who continued to flood East Pakistan (Bangladesh) and drove it to Poverty

This is science , this is reality and this is History - you were deceived by few (Agents : Who collaborated with same entity India , who caused floods in your region) and even today your government , considers them something special

But evidence of flood data does not lies !!

Your economic analysis might be true. But perception is everything. Why did Indian politicians co-opt socialist slogans while cutting deals with capitalists ? The same could be said about Z. Bhutto.

I tend to believe East Pakistanis were short changed.

How come the Pakistani state negotiated the Indus water treaty with India ? What action was taken with respect to sharing Ganga & Brahmaputra waters ?

On the language issue you were dead wrong on Urdu. You rectified it by adding Bengali. But it was too late.
