They are an independent country and can have diplomatic relations with anyone they want. They could have joined India if they wanted to but they didn’t. As far as Pakistan is concerned if the government had treated all people equally there wouldn’t have been any problems. Problems start arising when the economy is bad and a war like situation in the country for 10 years, how should the people who have been affected by the war feel for Pakistan? I feel that Pakistani politicians and military push the other ethnicities away with their policies.

Religion is one of the constituents of human identity, nation,region,ethnicity, language, religion and plenty of other factors makes entire identity of an individual, at one particular time especially crisis, one of them gain importance, at the time of independence it was Islam and in 1971 it was ethnicity and linguistic part of the community. Politics depends on other various factor that contribute to strengthening of one particular factor of the identity. Two nation theory was neither wrong nor right, it was relevant at that time later it lost its relevance and at present it is more or less useless:)

Yes, if we read history about the period just after partition, we found that the binding force of two nations theory started loosing its impact. people soon started showing their affiliation with their language and culture rather than just sticking to religious ideology.

The slogan of ‘Pakistan ka Matlab kia, La ilaha Illallah’ were replaced by new slogans of Division.

Exploitation by Government and Army did played its role, but our society as a whole forgot that centuries old traditions which remain intact even centuries after conversion to Islam, were as important to Bengalis and other communities, as religious ideology, while demanding a separate country.
