Based on the Lahore Resolution of 1940, India was divided and Pakistan was established in 1947. At the time of establishment, Pakistan was composed of five provinces. East Pakistan is one of the most important provinces among the five provinces. The Lahore Resolution was announced to ensure autonomy for the provinces of Pakistan. The poor Muslim population of East Pakistan joined the Pakistan state with the goal of establishing their own rights through autonomy. But the government of Pakistan failed to provide autonomy to East Pakistan and eventually a huge disparity was created between the two parts of Pakistan. The present study highlights the disparity between East and West Pakistan in economic, political, military, educational, agricultural, health and industrial sectors.
