Rebellion was going on in Kashmir since Partition. There was no need to send any insurgents to cause a rebellion. It was already going on.

This would be a good time to read up on Operation Gibraltar and Grand Slam. This was a failed insurrection by Pakistani troops that led to the 65 war.

On '71, your wrong IMO. Free and fair elections were held and Awami League did win. However, they wanted to split Pakistan up into autonomous and independent provinces. This was the gripe that Yahya Khan had with Bonglabobo. In fact, the night before the war took place, Yahya Khan was in Dhakka trying to persuade the idiot to take office, but not to split up the federation in the process. Bonglabobo’s actions were not only illegal (contavening the Legal Framework Order), had he come to office he would have greatly weakened Pakistan of today. Forget about East Pakistan, West Pakistan split into 5 areas would be a Western armchair warrior’s wet dream. The third and most important point why he wasnt allowed to come to power was his confused and stupid policy that he proposed in his six points: something along the lines of a common foreign policy but independent economies. There’s no way you can effectively run autonomous countries like this. I’ll leave you with this thought. Prior to '71, Bangladeshis were allowed to rule Pakistan the most number of times (more than any other ethnic group) as prime ministers or presidents (and I believe that Bangladeshis occupied the role of prime minister more than any other ethnic group prior to '71).

If majority of Pakistanis (Bengalis in this case) wanted to bring Pakistan back to the ideals of 1940 resolution, then it was their right. In fact, we would not be having this talk of rebellion in Balochistan right now or resentment in other provinces if this had been the case.

The people living in present day Pakistan agreed to join Pakistan based on prior agreements and understandings and a desire to safeguard their rights. They did not agree to give up their souls to the military junta or political-feudal establishment.

The end result is that we suffered a humiliating defeat and had to surrender and lose half of our country because we are not willing to acquiescence to the wishes of the majority.
