●​ SOURCE QUESTION
○​ The cyclone that broke Pakistan’s back, Cyclone Bhola, hit East Pakistan on 12 November 1970. It wiped out villages,
destroyed crops and killed nearly one million people. Nearly 85 per cent of the area was destroyed. Three months after the
cyclone, 75 per cent of the population was receiving food from relief workers. Historians believe the devastation caused by
the cyclone, the view that the government had mismanaged the relief efforts and West Pakistan’s blatant neglect, all
contributed to the high levels of anti-West Pakistan feeling. This led to a sweeping victory for the Awami League, and
eventually the breakup of Pakistan and the creation of Bangladesh. The catastrophe happened in Pakistan yet it is felt that
few Pakistanis even know of it by name. Fewer still remember that it eventually contributed to Pakistan’s breakup. From The
Express Tribune, 18 August 2010
