The roots of the conflict lie in the cultural, linguistic, and economic
disparities between East and West Pakistan following the partition of
British India in 1947. Despite being geographically separated by over
a thousand miles, East and West Pakistan were joined together as
one country based on the idea of a shared Islamic identity. However,
over time, East Pakistan felt marginalized and exploited by the
ruling elite in West Pakistan, who dominated the political, economic,
and military spheres.
