    one month. It caused roughly 10 million refugees to flee to India as well as the
    death of civilians.
    Why did east Pakistan wanted to become independent from
    west Pakistan?(7)
    It saw no alternative.It was a long way from West Pakistan and was poorer.East
    Pakistan was resentful of the fact that it was under-represented in the Pakistani
    army and the Civil Service. Due to the distance from the West, it felt that it was
    under political repression and with an undemocratic government.
    Because it had a weaker industrial base than the West and suffered from floods,
    it resented that it received little attention from the rest of Pakistan.
    Most of the wealth of Pakistan was concentrated in the west not only of
    individuals but also in terms of government expenditure. All the benefits went
    to the west.The Six Points made by Mujib-ur-Rehman. The general election of
    1970 saw the Awami League win a majority in East Pakistan.

    of Bangladesh in 1971? Explain your answer.[14]
    The Six Points made by Mujib-ur-Rehman and the Awami League was the
    most important factor in the creation of Bangladesh in 1971.’ Do you
    agree? Give reasons for your answer. [14]
