WHAT DOES WEST PAKISTAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

West Pakistan

West Pakistan covered the historical period of modern State of Pakistan when it was established by the One-unit program as an exclave state. After gaining independence from British colonialism in 1947, the State of Pakistan was physically separated in two exclave states, with Western Pakistan physically separated from Eastern Pakistan by the Republic of India. West Pakistan comprised three Governor's provinces, one Chief Commissioner's province, and the Baluchistan States Union with several other independent princely states, the Federal Capital Territory, and the tribal areas. The eastern wing of the new country – East Pakistan – formed the single province of East Bengal. West Pakistan adopted the stance that West Pakistan was the true Pakistan, with East Pakistan as a provincial state. The western state was politically dominant; despite having over half of the population, East Pakistan had a disproportionately small number of seats in the Constituent Assembly. This inequality of the two wings and the geographical distance between them were believed to be delaying the adoption of a new constitution.
