Abstract
In this presentation, we will not deal with the context of the independence of Pakistan in 1947. However, since Pakistan is a very young country, its creation plays a large role in the difficulties it encounters in its nation-building. The partition of India, in 1947, is the result of a long-term process and the state of Pakistan was finally established on the 14th of August, 1947, and, at this time, its territory was divided into two parts, West and East Pakistan. A civil war, in 1971 resulted in the creation of Bangladesh in East Pakistan. A Pakistani professor once said, "Pakistan, with all its weaknesses, has a state, but does it have a nation?". This is the question we will answer in this presentation.
