Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. West Pakistan was the popular and sometimes official (1955 1970) name of the western wing of Pakistan until 1971, when the eastern wing became independent as Bangladesh. The politically dominant western wing was composed of three Governor''s provinces (North-West Frontier Province, Punjab and Sind), one Chief Commissioner''s province (Baluchistan), the Baluchistan States Union, several other princely states (notably Bahawalpur, Chitral, Dir, Hunza, Khairpur and Swat), the Federal Capital Territory (around Karachi) and the tribal areas. The eastern wing formed the single province of East Bengal (including the former Assam district of Sylhet), which despite having over half of the population had a disproportionately small number of seats in the Constituent Assembly. This inequality of the two wings and the geographical distance between them was believed tobe holding up the adoption of a new constitution.
