Hello all!
Looking at what happened to Pakistan in 1971 brought home the fact that just a dominant religious homegenty is insufficient to form a country. The reason Awami League won so dominantly in East and PPP in the West is due to the difference in ethnicity, language, culture etc. On top of that when the people were denied the power to rule according to their mandate, that was it.

I think you make a very valid point here :) Ethnicity, jealousy and favouritism are very much part of desi politics (and that incl. India as well)
