Question no:2
answer:
In the year 1947, india was partitioned and a new nation was formed namely, PAKISTAN, The western part is called West Pakistan , and the Eastern part is called East Pakistan. The language is the main problem between the two Pakistans, since the east Pakistan people speaks BENGALI and the westside speaks PUNJABI, SINDHI, and PUSTU languages. West Pakistan try to dominate the EAST PAKISTAN , which the easterners refused. Another fact is during a parliament election Mr. MUJIBUR REHMAN, a candidate from EAST PAKISTAN won. He was to be elected as prime minister. but the WEst Pakistan side politicians does not agree. Hence the Easterners protested for a separate nation, and India helped them , and the East Pakistan becomes a new nation called BANGLADESH.
2nd answer: Bengali Muslims were oppressed & suppressed by the Hindus therefore they
overwhelmingly supported Mr. Jinnah in asking for a separate homeland for them, so much
so that On December 30 1906, the annual meeting of Muhammadan Educational Conference was held at Dhaka under the chairmanship of Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk. Almost 3,000 delegates
attended the session making it the largest-ever representative gathering of Muslim India.
For the first time the conference lifted its ban on political discussion, when Nawab
Salim Ullah Khan presented a proposal for establish a political party to safeguard the
interests of the Muslims; the All India Muslim League.
India never accepted the partition of 1947 resulting into the creation of East & West
Pakistan and right from day one started hatching conspiracies to cut off the eastern wing
from the west.It amongst other things created, financed, trained and supported the
militants called the Mukti Bahini to target the army and the government and ultimately
invaded and annexed East Pakistan.

Conclusion
US’s withdrawal from Afghanistan will affect the geo-political and
economic conditions of the region. There will new shift in convergences and divergences in
Pak-India relations. Pakistan needed to get out of its collective siege mentality to bury
conspiracy theories and blaming others; and start assessing the situation according to
changing realities. The fact is that Pakistan is facing a blow back of its own policies.
It is
imperative for Pakistan to get out of the denial mode, start putting its internal house in order
and not shy away from seeking international help. The regional states and global powers were
favorably disposed towards helping Pakistan to counter the extremism and terrorism menace;
of course they wanted to help Pakistan in their own interest. A second type of terrorism is
sectarian in nature involving domestic groups but fueled by the Arab-Iran rivalry.
It is
important to reach a consensus with the Arab States and Iran that Pakistan cannot afford their
proxy war on its soil. The regional actors should adopt regional approach towards peace
where they should stand together to block the external forces interfering in the affairs of the
region.

Idea Solution question Number 1
The factors affecting a country’s prospects for democratic maturation may be internal or external. It is important to note that many of the variables discussed below act as proverbial double-edged swords – alone they can each promote, retard, or obstruct democratization, depending on how, when, and where they play out. Moreover, each factor affects another in a complicated algorithm that often defies replication. This underscores the difficulty of assembling a formula that will ensure movement toward truedemocracy. One thing nearly all experts agree on is the case-sensitive nature of democratization – the process will be unique in every country, and it is not a foregone conclusion that democracy will be achieved everywhere.
Internal Factors
The Economy
The Structure, Strength, and Transparency of Government Institutions
The Electorate
Civil Society
The Press
Demography
Geography
External Factors
Democracy Promotion by Other Nations
Democracy Promotion by Regional and International Organizations
Global Markets and International Finance Mechanisms
