MCQ practice · SSC Bangladesh and Global Studies Board questions · Chapter 1: The Political Movement in East Bengal and the Rise of Nationalism (1947-1970)
East Pakistan's development was held back:
- i. because of the rulers' discrimination
- ii. because less money was allocated to East Pakistan
- iii. because it imported and exported less
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a i and ii
- b i and iii
- c ii and iii
- d i, ii and iii
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: a i and ii
The rulers' discrimination and low allocations, like 113 crore against 500, held it back.
Why the other options are wrong
- b i and iii: iii is false: East Bengal exported jute, tea and leather, but the earnings went West; and ii is left out.
- c ii and iii: iii is false, and i is left out: the rulers' discrimination was the root cause.
- d i, ii and iii: iii is false: exports were not low; export earnings were spent in the West.
