Why did the need arise to divided East Pakistan and West Pakistan?
Did the division have any impact on the economy of those regions?
Yes, the division had a significant impact on the economies of both regions. East Pakistan was more agricultural than West Pakistan, which was more industrialized. After the division, East Pakistan became Bangladesh, which struggled with poverty and a weak economy. In contrast, West Pakistan, which became Pakistan, continued to develop as an industrialized state.
