Based on what? During the half of its history under democratic rule, a number of Bengalis became Prime Ministers, Presidents, and Governor Generals of Pakistan...including candidates representing the Bengali-dominated Awami League. And as far as martial law is concerned, I fail to see how thats any more repressive than the 60 years of lip-service to democracy with puppet governments installed in Kashmir by New Delhi.

Yes once the west pakistani's realized that they are not going to get a chance to rule .... Pakistan turned into a militayr state. What was the core reason for the seperation of East Pakistan? Mujib had won the elections, so instead of supporting the civilan elected leader, Bhutto's was busy trying to supress the bengali's. He realized that the only way he can get a chance to rule is by supressing the population of East Pakistan........ I can continue on this but for now this much will suffice, but if you want we can carry on with this, i can open a new thread ..... Bangladesh and Kashmir ... the two opposites....
As for the elections in Kashmir, it is just a few people in Kashmir valley who have trouble with this ....... and valley is not the state
