Đông Pakistan
former non-contiguous province of Pakistan
AI overview
East Pakistan was the eastern part of Pakistan from 1947 to 1971, separated from the western part by India and located in what is now Bangladesh. It matters historically because its struggle for independence and eventual separation from Pakistan in 1971 fundamentally reshaped South Asian politics and resulted in the creation of a new nation.
