West Pakistan
West Pakistan covered the historical period of modern State of Pakistan when it was established by the One-unit program as an exclave state. After gaining independence from British colonialism in 1947, the State of Pakistan was physically separated in two exclave state with the Western contingent was physically separated from Eastern contingent by the Republic of India. The western state was politically dominant and composed of three Governor's provinces, one Chief Commissioner's province, and the Baluchistan States Union with several other independent princely states, the Federal Capital Territory and the tribal areas. The eastern wing of the new country – East Pakistan – formed the single province of East Bengal, which, despite having over half of the population, had a disproportionately small number of seats in the Constituent Assembly. This inequality of the two wings and the geographical distance between them was believed to be holding up the adoption of a new constitution. To diminish the differences between the two regions, the government decided to reorganize the country into two distinct provinces under the One Unit policy announced by Prime Minister Chaudhry Muhammad Ali on November 22, 1954.
