story of bangladesh
After the Awami League won all the East Pakistan seats of the Pakistan's National Assembly in the 1970-71 elections, West Pakistan opened talks with the East on constitutional questions about the division of power between the central government and the provinces, as well as the formation of a national government headed by the Awami League.
The talks proved unsuccessful, however, and on March 1, 1971, Pakistani President Yahya Khan indefinitely postponed the pending National Assembly session, precipitating massive civil disobedience in East Pakistan.
On March 4, a group of students, lead by Abdur Rob, of Dhaka University raised the new (proposed) flag of Bangla.
On March 7, there was a historical public gathering in Paltan Maidan to hear the guideline for the revolution and independence from Shaikh Mujib, the frontier leader of movement that time. Although he avoided the direct speech of independence as the talks were still underway, he influenced the mob to prepare for the separation war. The speech is still considered a key moment in the war of liberation, and is remembered for the phrase, "Ebarer Shongram Muktir Shongram, Ebarer Shongram Shadhinotar Shongram...." ("This revolution is for victory, this revolution is for freedom....")
After the military crackdown by the Pakistan army began on the night of March 25, 1971 Sheikh Mujib Mujibur Rahman was arrested and the political leaders dispersed, mostly fleeing to neighbouring India where they organized a provisional government afterwards. The people were at a loss. At this crucial moment with a sudden forced political vacuum, the Eighth East Bengal Regiment under the leadership of Major Ziaur Rahman revolted against the Pakistan Army and took up the Bangladesh flag as its mainstay on the night of March 26 - March 27, 1971. Major Zia declared, on behalf of the Great Leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the independence of Bangladesh.

Story of Kashmir.....Loot ka maal
Did not Pakistan recognize the Government of the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir? Did it not enter into a Standstill Agreement with him by the exchange of telegrams on August 12 and 16,1947 ? International law does not require that the party to an agreement should look behind a recognized government with whom it contracts to see that the Agreement had been arrived to by prior consultations with the people. In fact, the accession was also supported by the National Conference, the largest political party in Kashmir. To quote Sheikh Abdullah who was then leader of the National Conference.
"When the raiders were fast approaching Srinagar, we could think of only one way to save the State from total annihilation: asking for help from a friendly neighbor. The representatives of the National Conference, therefore, flew to Delhi to seek help from the Government of India but the absence of any constitutional ties between our State and India made it impossible for her to render any effective assistance in meeting the aggression...since people's representatives themselves sought an alliance, the Government of India showed readiness to accept it. Legally, the Instrument of Accession had to be signed by the ruler of the State. This the Maharaja did."

Story of NWFP.............It was never given option of independence.
Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, his brother Dr Khan Sahib and other leaders of Khudai Khidmatgar movement demanded that the NWFP should be granted independence as a separate state under the nomenclature of Pakhtunistan. As the province was being ruled at that time by the Congress government of Dr Khan Sahib, it was decided by the British government to hold a referendum to ascertain the will of the people whether they wanted to remain with India or accept the merger of their province with Pakistan.
Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan objected to this proposal on the plea that the NWFP assembly was not consulted on this issue like other assemblies. He demanded that under the referendum the people of NWFP should be asked to choose between an independent state of Pakhtunistan or decide about the merger of the province with Pakistan. However, the British did not accept that proposal and held the referendum on the merger of NWFP with India or Pakistan in which a majority voted for Pakistan.

Balochistan did not want it
To shock and grief of Khan of Kalat Mr, Jinnah coarsely persuaded the Khan to expedite the merger. The Khan replied, "I have great respect for your advice......but Balochistan, being a land of numerous tribes, the people there must be duly consulted in the matter prior to any decision I take; for, according to the prevalent tribal convention, no decision can be binding upon them unless they are taken into confidence beforehand by their Khan."
With this provisional agreement, the Khan returned to Kalat and promptly summoned the Kalat State Houses of Parliament, the Dar-ul-Awam and Dar-ul-Umra and proposed to the House to accord him a mandate on the matter of Kalat's merger with Pakistan. Both the Houses, however, contended unanimously that the proposal of Kalat's merger militated against the spirit of the earlier agreement arrived at between Kalat Government and the spokesmen of Pakistan on August 4, 1947, as also against the Independence Act of 1947.

Sindh did not want it
When, therefore, Partition came, the Sindhi Muslims were not sure it was the right thing. Mohammed Ibrahim Joyo was sure it was the wrong thing. He wrote the book Save Sind --- from Pakistan. But it was too late. And when refugees from Bihar poured in, and the Sindhi Hindus began to leave, they were sure it was the wrong thing- The atmosphere in Sindh turned funereal. It was as though the rakshasa (demon) was on the prowl and he might devour anybody and anything any time. People spoke very little and in hushed tones. The Muslims were heard saying that Qiamat (end of the world) seemed to be fast approaching.
Within days Jinnah's portrait was off the Sindhi walls. When refugee Muslims wanted to kill Hindus, Sindhi Muslims refused to cooperate. Premier Khuhro himself went out, revolver in hand, to quell the riots. Indeed, the first dispute between the Sindh Government and the Pakistan Government arose when, after the sack of Karachi on 6 January, 1948, the former arrested refugee rioters and recovered looted property from them, and the Centre sided with the rioters. The refugees were heard saying: ``The Sindhi Muslims seem to be born from the urine of the Hindus.''
