Some of these arguments are quite circular ..they've been used by the establishment against the Bengalis in the 1960's.
In the grander scheme of things political instability, lack of empowerment, poor law and order are bigger causes of lack of development than tribalism.
Begnalis were fed lies by the separatists and so are the tribals who are fed by the same lies.
Just like in the 1970s, this thread too is being fed by the wretched arguments.
Whoever says Bengalis separatists were correct, must not forget what Bengalis did to their Bandhu Mujib.
Mujib fed lies to bengalis that somehow other ethnicities are eating Bengalis alive. However when E. Bengal got its desired jannat in the form of BDesh, within few short months, Awami League's lies became apparent.
Then the disgruntled and disillusioned BENGALIS quickly got together and sent Bandhu to Jannat ul Firdaus.
Poor Sheikh was NATIONAL LEADER in Pakistan.
The Sheikh was a pile of minced meat in HIS Sonar Bengla.
Bengalis killed not only the Sheiku, they killed every man, woman, child, granpappy, granny, ucles, aunts, and ants of the ENTIRE Sheiken family. Only one daughter survived because she happened to be OUTSIdE the hellhole.
The reason Sheikh was made milk-shake by them Bengalis because they realized the loss of Pak based INCOME.
here is how it turned out:
E. Pakistan was taking in 50% of Pak budget = $16 billion per year in today's terms and shared no liabilities.
BDesh now has close to half of this i.e. $8billion with 30% 40% debt financing.
Thus in today's term Bengalis can spend only $5billion per year i.e. a clear loss of $10 billion a year due to separation.
After 40 long years of PHAREEDOOM, Here are some dark facts.
E. Bengalis are now almost the same population as Pak.
Tell me if they have more universities, more colleges, more schools, more factories, bigger army, bigger police, less poverty????
Have they spent more time under DOOMcratics and less time under army rule?
FYI. Poor Thangs have suffered more from the dynastic despots than any in Pak history.
So please do not spread cr@p and filth from the Bengalis. It is like saying the people in Fgahn and Somali $hiteholes live better compared to Pak.
These type of un-thought and un-intellectual arguments make your case weaker and not the other way around.
