Seperatist Nature Of Mujeeb-Ur-Rehman

Sheikh Mujeeb-ur-rehman was completely a pro-independence (separatist) leader of East Pakistan (Bangladesh). On that time he had a full support of India (Hindustan) at his back. His top secret meetings with Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi and other officials of Indian Intelligence agency (IIA) and his 6 points formula was undoubtedly proved that he was really a pro-independence leader, he wants to separate East and West Pakistan and he had a full support of indian leaders, Army and Indian intelligence agencies.

Mujeeb-ur-rehman was representing a separatist political thinking of Bangladeshi peoples and political leaders. Sheikh Mujeeb-ur-rehman raised and announced the separate flag of East Pakistan (Bangladesh) on 23rdMarch 1971 and was arrested just after this event.

In one of his statements given to Foreign Ministers of Iran and Turkey after elections of 7th December 1970 he said “I would really like to become the Creator of Bangladesh as an alternative of becoming the New Prime Minister of Pakistan". Apart from this, Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi in one of his speech also stated Sheikh Mujeeb-ur-rehman as his beloved son.

In simple word we can say that Sheikh Mujeeb-ur-rehman was completely biased against Pakistan, and just wanted a separate nation Bangladesh for Bangladeshi people, a financially powerful nation was the dream of Sheikh Mujeeb-ur-rehman, according to me that is why he did not reconciliate without 6 points formula. On 3rd Jan 1971 in Rimna Racecourse Dhaka Sheikh Mujeeb-ur-rehman stated that "In any case we will not find any middle ground on 6 points formula at any case and we will demolish every stumbling block which will come in this way." Finally his desire becomes the reality on 16th Dec 1971 as a result of FALL OF DHAKA (EAST PAKISTAN) 1971, and he said “Finally my 24 years old dream of freedom is fulfilled”

General Ayub Khan Era -East Pakistan Becomes Bangladesh-

General Ayub's era played a fundamental role in the unpleasant incident of separation of East Pakistan (Bangladesh). People of East Pakistan were not happy by the reforms of General Ayub Khan particularly the common people.

In East Pakistan as a result of those reforms only people of big cities got the advantage but the local people remained unhappy. One that time numerous Politicians of East Pakistan were also been not satisfied from the constitution of 1962 because it was not national and democratized.

All the Political activities and political groups were also been banned and the people of East Pakistan were all very much alert due to the current situation of that time. Throughout this period all the financial development was only done in West Pakistan and the East Pakistan remained unobserved, in simple language we can say they were ignored by West Pakistan.

General Ayub Khan was a big and powerful military man but he did many mistakes on this whole issue. During the battle (War) of 1965 East Pakistanis raised the voice that West Pakistan left them alone to kill from the cruel Indian army. This destroyed their confidence over our army and government. Then during that period (General Ayub Khan period) , Sheikh Mujeeb met numerous times with Indian high authority and Intelligence members of India in London (England) but in the result General Ayub Khan took no any action against him.

Agartala conspiracy was also a big part of it where Mujeeb met with army generals and Indira Gandhi and they formulated a strategy of revolution against General Ayub Khan which bothered and decreased the reputation and status of General Ayub Khan.

Role of Militants and MuktiBahni In The Separation of East Pakistan

MuktiBahni was the big militant alliance of the militant Bengalis and the Indian army both of them were supported by Intelligence agency SASS. Those militants were responsible for all that disorder and riots in East Pakistan (Banglasdes) . Civil breaking the rules started from (7th Mar1971).

Militants of MuktiBahni killed numerous Non-Bengalis and raped their women. Brutality Bengalis (East Pakistanis) was at its highest point. They steal goods of Non-Bengalis and also scorched their houses.

According to Anthony Mascarenhas more than one lac Non-Bengalis were killed by militants. According Anthony Mascarenhas, In Military academy Chittagong Colonel Commandant of Pakistan army with his eight months pregnant wife both were very cruelly killed by Bengalis (East Pakistan) . It is also said that from numerous places nude dead bodies of Non-Bengali young boys and girls were found. Under such conditions Pakistani government had to begin military battle in opposition to all of these Bengali militants.

If we conclude all the things we can say that Militants and muktibani played a very big role in the partition of East and West Pakistan. And they were the only responsible of all conditions of that time.

Role Of India In Separation Of East Pakistan

India played a capital role in fall of East Pakistan (Bangladesh) .Whole Indian army and Intelligence groups supported militant association Mukti Bahni by giving them accoutrements, arms and huge funds.

India in addition sent their soldiers and intelligence groups  in the form of Mukti Bahni(fought against the Pakistan Army) to kill Pakistani soldiers (West Pakistani Soldiers) .India aswell started the war of 1971 on both sides Eastern and Western fronts and they completely supported Bengalis and soother separatists elements.

Role of Indira Gandhi (19th Nov 1917 - 31 Oct1984) the former Prime Minister India was very much clear on that time. Actually she was a very sharp and intelligent lady and she is also a big anti Pakistan leader and on 16th December 1971 when Pakistan military surrendered and East Pakistan and West Pakistan broke up she gave one of a very famous statement of her life. She said “Today we have drowned Pakistan’s ideas in the Bay of Bengal." From this statement we can realize that how much she was anti Pakistan leader. And according to her statement it is very clear that there was a very significant role of India in the fall of East Pakistan (Bangladesh).

Difference in Political Thinking Between East And West Pakistan

Citizens of East Pakistan were very much politically aware in simple we can say they were very good at politics. People of East Pakistan were mostly educated and middle class. Most of the political actions in British India specially  linked with the Muslims started from Bengal like we can take example of the formation of All India Muslim League (AIML) in 1906, then Mauling Afzal Has put onward Pakistan Resolution on 23rd March1940. He was also a big and one of the very famous leader of Bengal.

Politicians of Bangladesh (East Pakistan) were typically consisted of lawyers, professors and retired government servants and from others high class positions. On the other hand West Pakistan’s (Pakistan) politics was fully dominated by overlords.

Actually Political thinking of both sides East Pakistan and West Pakistan was pretty different from each others. On that time most of the politicians of East Pakistan (Bangladesh) were in favor of a Democratic Secular state. They all have compromised on that previous particular issue,but when first martial law came in 27th October 1958 under Muhammad Ayub Khan then all of their politicians had decided that now we cannot stay together with Pakistan and their claim was Democracy cannot be survive in a country like Pakistan where military institution is so much involved in politics of country.

Cultural And Linguistic Differences Between East And West Pakistan

One that time there was a very huge cultural and linguistic variation between the citizens of East and West Pakistan. Citizens of East Pakistan were culturally more close with Indians(Indian Peoples) especially with citizens of West Bengal.

They had their own language totally and their language was completely different from our national language Urdu and they considered it as their single identity. The citizens of East Pakistan were very educated. They had done a lot of work in literature like poetry, style novels and small stories etc. was done in Bengali language. So they took their language as their national identity and symbol. They were not ready to be taught or even speak Urdu and to accept it as national language. They claimed that because of their majority according to the population Bengali should only be the national language of both East and West Pakistan and that were the first difference rose between citizens of both sides.
