Birth of bd Can be traced back to 1757 when society began to resist. The 4 stages are It first phase was based on socio-political resistance to colonialism- 1760 to 1857. It was followed by political/ institutional resistance including the birth of the sub-state of East Bengal in 1905. In 3rd stage 1911-47 indpnt east pak was recognized As a state in lahore resu. But cancelled by allind muslim league. Between 47-71 this sumsumed state turned into A full state, nevr a part of pak a false stat which nevr made landfall in east pak.

Subsequent movement against it and the military action on March 25 was also inevitable as both were fighting for survival. The subsumed state became a full state through the 1971 war.
