[[[East Pakistan separated from West Pakistan because of neglect and abuse on part of West Pakistan. East Pakistan was fairly lawless and forgotten by West Pakistan. East Pakistan had no voice when it came to its own affairs, as well.

Examples of neglect include:

The East Pakistani population was 58% of the total population of the WHOLE of Pakistan. This majority were not even allowed to have their language as one of the national languages until after a bloody battle between army and students.

Sub standard goods were sold from West Pakistan to East Pakistan at double the price. East Pakistan was not allowed to deal directly with any neighbouring countries

East Pakistani had no representation in the armed forces or in government or local office.

East Pakistan was very much in the same position as modern day province Baluchistan. Like East Pakistan, Baluchistan has an independence movement - the Baluchistan Liberation Army. It is fighting for independence for very much the same reason as East Pakistan did.

Many Pakistani supporters and Pakistani propagandists suggest the real cause due to which east Pakistan was separated from west Pakistan was the interference of India in Pakistan's internal matters, and then surprisingly in 1971 Indian army attcked east Pakistan resulting in the formation of Bangladesh.

In reality, Indias involvement came after 10,000,000 refugees fled into India across the border. India noticed that the majority of these 10,000,000 were hindus. Part of West Pakistani genocide programs. The cost of feeding the refugees and epidemic from disease resulting from this tradgedy prompted then Indian Prime Minister Indira Ghandi to raise the issue with the UN. However the UN at that time was involved with the politics of the "Cold War" with US allies and USSR allies veteoing and counter veteoing proposals.

With this ineptitude of the UN, India took an opportunity to help its neighbouring Bengalis and assisted in destroying an already weakened and dilapitated West Pakistani enemy force.

It must also be mentioned that the First "offical" strike between West Pakistan and India was actually led by West Pakistan on the Western front when it made a PRE-EMPTIVE strike on India's airbase and tried to cripple India's airforce. the stratedgy was based on the Jewish/Israeli PRE-EMPTIVE strike of the 6 day war used in 1966 against Arab/Muslim forces.

East Pakistan won their independence in 1971 and shortly after in 1973 (Inspired by Bangladesh's success) the first Baluchi uprising started with a 55,000 man rebellion against Punjabi domination in Pakistan.]]] Biased answer

[But the real cause due to which east Pakistan was separated from west Pakistan was the interference of India in Pakistan's internal matters, and then surprisingly in 1971 Indian army attcked east Pakistan resulting in the formation of Bangladesh.]- Already discussed.

And Nowdays India is destablising baloshistan and backing the liberation army for fuelling insurgency in the province and creating unrest.

Why did problems develop between West Pakistan and East Pakistan after the partition of British India?

The moslems thought that religion would be enough to keep the West and East Pakistan together. Initially, West Pakistan had the political power but when in the 1960s, a particular party in East Pakistan became the largest party in the Pakistani Parliament, the West Pakistan politicians for political/class reasons cracked down hard on East Pakistan. This caused millions of East Pakistanis to escape to India. India for political plus economic reasons, starting arming the East Pakistanis. India also then invaded East Pakistan. The end result was a humilitaing defeat for West Pakistan and this resulted in East Pakistan breaking away and becoming Bangladesh.
