Separation of East Pakistan:

 Sheikh Mujeebur Rahman mounted pressure to establish his government while Pakistan People’s Party opposed it strongly. General Muhammad Yahya Khan’s wish to cling to the government further worsened the situation.

Non-Cooperation Movement:

 In the meantime, Sheikh Mujeebur Rahman launched the Non-Cooperation Movement in state affairs. Blood shedding, non-cooperation, refusal to pay taxes, demonstration of strikes, a boycott of courts and not going of officials to their respective job places became the daily routine.

Appointed General Tikka Khan:

 General Tikka Khan was appointed Governor of East Pakistan to control the situation but the situation continued to deteriorate every day. In the meantime, Sheikh Mujeebur Rahman established a parallel government with the unlawful help of India.

Flag Hoisting:

On 23 March 1947 Sheikh Mujeebur Rahman hoisted the flag of independent Bangladesh at his residence. Sheikh Mujeebur Rahman was arrested. This further worsened the situation. The civil war reached its peak.

Separation of East Pakistan:

No instant and effective operation could be done in East Pakistan because of the vast distance of land as well as disconnected air communication and non-cooperation of the local people. Consequently, our army had to surrender. Eventually, India succeeded in achieving its objectives and East Pakistan appeared on the map of the world under the name of Bangladesh on 16^th December 1971.
