Brahmaputra River systems - now referred to as Bangladesh - was a loosely incorporated outpost of

Tripura, Mizoram (India) and Myanmar.

5. History
 The Bangladesh War of Independence or the Bangladesh Liberation War
refers to an armed conflict between West Pakistan (now Pakistan) and East
Pakistan (now Bangladesh) that lasted for roughly nine months in 1971. The
war resulted in Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan.
 Pakistan's partition from India in 1947 had arisen from the 'two-nation'
thesis that Muslims and Hindus in India were both 'nations' whose people
could not live together. Pakistan was the first modern-state founded solely
on the basis of religion, since although India had a Hindu majority its
population, with Muslims, Sikhs, Jains and Christians was multi-religious and
its constitution was secular. When East Bengal was included in the partition,
many thought this mistaken because of the cultural differences between
Bengal and the peoples of what became West Pakistan. When the West tried
to impose Urdu as the official language in the East, a linguistic-cultural
opposition movement began.
