		The new province, it was demanded, should "include the Barisal Sadar Subdivisions (North and South) and the Perojpur Subdivisions of the District of Bakarganj" [44] where the Namasudras constituted the largest Hindu caste group.

		Before 1947, most of the territory now in Bangladesh was part of the province of British-ruled India known as East Bengal which in 1947 joined with the Sylhet district of Assam and became East Pakistan in the new state of Pakistan.

		The two provinces of the new Pakistan nation had almost nothing in common other than the shared Islamic faith; moreover, East Pakistan was separated by more than 1,600 km (1,000 mi) from West Pakistan, and, with more than half the population of the new nation, it felt underrepresented in a government dominated by West Pakistan.

		Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa had formed a single province of British India since 1765.
