Muhammad Ali Bogra, Mumtaz Daultana History of Pakistan

The early years of Pakistani history (1950-1955) were marked by political instability. The nation's geography posed problems; not only was East Bengal remote from the larger West, but also the connection of the new capital Karachi with the most densely populated province of Punjab was poor. The partition of the Punjab, Bengal caused further problems; the traditional Punjabi capital of Lahore now found itself on the Indian border, having lost the eastern part of its hinterland.
