Background and History of NFC
In 1971, Pakistan was cut into two, East Pakistan becoming Bangladesh. There are many reasons that can be attributed to the 1971 incident, one is the “Distribution of Resources” between East and West Pakistan. East Pakistan was responsible for majority of our output and most of it was used in West Pakistan. This infuriated the Bangladeshi people and contributed towards their final revolt against the government run by West Pakistan.
Bangladesh before 1971, was more populous then West Pakistan but it was still discriminated by the West Pakistan i.e. current day Pakistan. At that time, the distribution of resources based on population was never raised by anyone since it would have resulted in greater share of East Pakistan from the Federal Divisible Pool or in Federal Budget for East and West Pakistan.

“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
