The Dominion of Pakistan comprised two geographically and culturally separate areas to the east and the west with India in between. ... The violent crackdown by the Pakistan Army led to Awami League leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declaring East Pakistan's independence as the state of Bangladesh on 26 March 1971.
