Document Summary
Midterm: covers material up to and including formation of bangladesh. Parent state in control of seceding region. Favourable condition: neighbour state open to military intervention. Seemed to be widespread support for formation of pakistan in area which would come to be. Those who opposed it left the region, so opposition declined. Other regions in south asia where there was reluctance to join the new states in which they were incorporated (e. g. kashmir, nwfp) Conditions that seemed more favourable to secession in these regions. Parent state was in control of the region until the last minute. Pakistani state had managed to establish control in east bengal. Parent state hadn"t collapsed; it wasn"t like the communist regime of the former soviet union. Wasn"t a situation where 2 units were willing to go separate ways and there was no resistance. Major favourable condition: india was willing to support secession. Not just support it, but even invade and get involved in the war.
