Explanation:

After the independence of the British Indies in 1947, the former colony was divided into two states: India and Pakistan. Pakistan itself consisted of two parts: in the northwest West Pakistan (present-day Pakistan), and in the northeast East Pakistan (this became the current Bangladesh in 1971). East Pakistan consisted of Bengal people, mostly Muslims, while the population of West Pakistan belonged to ethnic Turkish-Persian groups, such as the Punjabs.

East Pakistan was ignored by the central government in West Pakistan and the area was dominated by West Pakistani people. This led to the emergence of struggles and led to a struggle for independence in 1971. Beginning on March 26, the army of Pakistan struck the revolt fiercely. Innocent men, women and children were murdered in large numbers. Major Ziaur Rahman then declared the independence of Bangladesh. He made this statement on a home-made radio from the port city of Chittagong. This call led to a battle that killed hundreds of thousands of Bengali people and also led to a refugee problem. India intervened in December of that year with the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971 and on December 16, 1971 the Pakistani army surrendered and Bangladesh became independent.

B, East Pakistan was Bengali while West Pakistan was Urdu, 2 very different cultures.
