Move?

Shouldn't this be History of East Pakistan (1947-1971) or even just merged with East Pakistan ? - TheMightyQuill (talk) 16:36, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I second this. It should be considered the history of East Pakistan. It would definitely be history through the eyes of East Pakistan's majority population, i.e Bangladeshis, but for accuracy's sake this would have to be considered "The History of East Pakistan". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.236.50.183 (talk) 21:20, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This article should be named History of East Pakistan since Bangladesh did not exist between 1947 and 1971, and this was the official name of the region. I am going to move the article name now. Mar4d (talk) 14:59, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed stale POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

An old neutrality tag that appears to have no active discussion has been removed from this page per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever any one of the following is true:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant

At this time there is no obvious overarching NPOV problem, and no evidence of ongoing discussion of neutrality, so I've removed the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one!

History of East Pakistan → History of Bangladesh (1947–1971) – this will be more accurate name cause East Pakistan just came to exist in 1955. Prior to this, it was East Bengal. The name itself don't appears to be universal for this history related article. Requested title would more relevant cause it's basically a part of the history of Bangladesh. Ahammed Saad (talk) 12:43, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. It the last and current name of the previous entity that matters. East Pakistan and East Bengal is actually the same thing. Before 1955, people also used the name "East Pakistan" to indicate the province of East Bengal, including poet Iqbal. So the name is actually universal.

It is a part of the history of Bangladesh. And the partition in 1947 is marked as the key point in the creation of the land today known as Bangladesh. East Pakistan doesn't exists now & as it is considered an integral part of the history of Bangladesh, I think the name Bangladesh should be prioritised on naming. Ahammed Saad (talk) 15:52, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Eastern part(land) of Bengal Pages already exists History of Bengal. this discussion already done in Talk:History_of_Bangladesh_(1971–present). Changing the name of Pakistan to Bangladesh is part of its political agenda.

Bongan^® →TalkToMe← 09:25, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. After the Partition of India, Pakistan was made up of two provinces: East Pakistan (East Bengal, part of the former province of Pakistan) and West Pakistan. India won the 1971 war by decisively defeating Pakistan, leading to the creation of Bangladesh. Bangladesh did not exist before 1971.

Bongan^® →TalkToMe← 15:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History of Bangladesh basically means the history of Eastern part of Bengal. That's why the article History of Bangladesh includes the history of British Eastern Bengal and Assam province & the history of East Pakistan. And as the current land of Bangladesh traces it's origin from the partition in 1947. So, this is undoubtedly the history of Bangladesh (1947–1971) Ahammed Saad (talk) 16:17, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This redirect Page History of Bangladesh (1947–1971) Must be delete; it's misleading and confusing readers, and it's not using any page. Eg. "It's like the true history of the Achaemenid Empire is being hidden, manipulating readers, and an alternate version of History of Iran (550–330 BCE) is being created to present Iran as a country that existed since 550 BCE."
