    Note: these results are not from the primary (high quality) database.

PakDef Forums - Pakistan Orbat Pakistan had always pferred to put as much as possible of its resources into divisions, but now it raised artillery, engineer, and independent brigades for all its corps. This bulking up helps explain why Pakistan has not raised an significant number of new divisions since 1972, when six new divisions came into existence (including three with the flags of divisions lost in the East; two of those divisions had already been replaced in March 1971 with new divisions). By 1971 Pakistan had raised II Corps (Multan) as a reserve; it had, in the west, 1 and 6 Armored, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18, 23, and 33 Division at the time of the war. www.pakdef.info /forum/archive/index.php/t-357.html   (4048 words)

INDIA RESOURCE:  Partition, Divisions, Indian Subcontinent, Birth, Pakistan, Bangladesh The Ansari Muslims (the weaving caste) who were politically organised and more conscious were opposed to the very idea of Pakistan and even held a demonstration against it in Delhi in May 1940 after the Lahore resolution was passed. Pakistan, in fact, was the creation of the Muslims of minority States like U.P., Bihar and Bombay. In U.P. and Bihar, there was a vertical division among the Muslims and the low-caste Muslims were hardly enthusiastic about Pakistan as anyway it would have hardly benefited them. india_resource.tripod.com /Partition.html   (1607 words)

Defence Notes The Indian high command had correctly deduced that Pakistan had considerably denuded its West Pakistan forces by sending two well-trained divisions to East Pakistan and although two new divisions were raised to compensate the imbalance but these were in the early stages of training and consisted of only two brigades each. During the first week of October 71, it was appreciated by the Indian high command that Pakistan would be ready to launch an offensive by mid-October 71 in the western front because of the move of the Indian forces on the borders of East Pakistan. Reports of unusual movement of Indian troops along the west border was reported and also close to the ceasefire line in Kashmir, Pakistan high command had correctly appreciated that an Indian attack on East Pakistan was imminent and that movement along the western border was to forestall Pakistan retaliation to ease pressure on East Pakistan. www.defencejournal.com /2003/jan/lost_opportunity.htm   (3382 words)

Bangladesh Introduction - Flags, Maps, Economy, Geography, Climate, Natural Resources, Current Issues, International Agreements, Population, Social Statistics, Political System The country was under constant pressure from India, the government and economy had to be constructed anew, ethnic divisions rocked West Pakistan, and neglect of East Pakistan by the central government pushed the nation toward civil war. For these reasons, the area that is Bangladesh remained a frontier until the last few centuries, and the wild characteristics of the frontier still dominate society on newly formed islands that continually emerge along the courses of silty rivers and along the coast. Bangladesh's status as a populous but poor country without foreign alliances allowed it to take outspoken stands and to play a leading role among the nations of the Third World. workmall.com /wfb2001/bangladesh/bangladesh_history_introduction.html   (3756 words)

Pakistan Link - Letter & Opinion The main problem with the current demarcation of the provinces in Pakistan is that it legitimizes ethnic divisions in the country, and hinders the forging of a national identity. Restoring the former Divisions of West Pakistan as provinces or states would avoid controversy and hassle, and provide all the benefits of One Unit without the disadvantage of the fear of domination by the Punjab. I lived in Pakistan during the days of One Unit and distinctly remember that a sense of oneness had begun to emerge in West Pakistan, in spite of the hue and cry from provincial-minded politicians who were distressed at the break-up of their little empires. www.pakistanlink.com /Opinion/2002/May/24/01.html   (327 words)

Progress Toward Poliomyelitis Eradication -- Pakistan, 1994-1998 In 1997, Pakistan reported 1147 polio cases; these cases represented widespread poliovirus circulation because poliovirus type 1 was identified in 86 (72%) of the 120 districts and poliovirus type 3 in 24 (20%) districts in 18 (75%) of Pakistan's 24 divisions ( Figure_2). The Pakistan experience indicates that among densely populated countries with a warm climate and poor sanitation such as Pakistan, NIDs may have a rapid impact on polio incidence only in the presence of high routine vaccination (3). In Pakistan during January 1998, cluster surveys conducted in 13 districts revealed a median routine OPV3 coverage of 58% (range: 10%-93%), compared with 71% coverage based on administrative data. www.cdc.gov /mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00056503.htm   (2528 words)

Education in Pakistan It is in recognition of the consequence of the wholesale privatization of health and education and of the imposition of corporate rule leading to further sharp divisions in society, that agitation by the teachers, doctors and lawyers in Pakistan has taken on the dimensions of a political movement.

The Higher Education Commission is staffed primarily by representatives of private elitist universities, while those who have to bear the brunt of the proposed changes have been excluded from this "consultative" process from the outset. web.mit.edu /bilal/www/education/iqtidar.html   (2990 words)

America, Islam & Pakistan Such inversion of Islam is making Pakistan a case study of a society's self-destructiveness, with Muslims killing each other in mosques and streets in the name of religious purity. Clearly, rather than a passing fad, Islam's florescence in America is rooted in a grounds-well of intellectual and cultural manifestations cutting across traditional Muslim divisions. However for Pakistan today, the great irony lies in the virtual eclipse of this dy-namic heritage, even though Allama Iqbal and Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad All Jinnah were its 20th century expression. www.binoria.org /albineng/may98/america.html   (72 words)

Pakistan: Insufficient protection of religious minorities - Amnesty International Members of the religious minorities in Pakistan have for some time campaigned to end the system of separate electorates(40) whereby they elect their own minority representatives to parliament; they claim that it in fact separates them from the mainstream of national life, enhances religious divisions, increases discrimination and marginalizes minorities. Amnesty International is concerned that some members of the religious minorities in Pakistan have been held as prisoners of conscience solely for the peaceful exercise of their right to freedom of religion under laws that are clearly discriminatory.

Indo-Pakistan War of Independence The strategy adopted was a swift, three-pronged assault of nine infantry divisions with attached armored units and close air support that rapidly converged on Dhaka, the capital of East Pakistan.
