I thought Pakistan was ruled by India ? Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

I think India incorporated the current Pakistan and Bangladesh while still under British rule. Once they gained independance, Pakistan split from India. In general it seems that citizens of the two countries dislike each other. Later (about 30 years ago) Bangladesh got independance from Pakistan. The Bangladeshi guy I work with dislikes people from Pakistan and makes no bones about it. It seems the differences are largely, but not wholly, religious. Exactly how Burma fits into all this has yet to be explained to me. It's a shame that, unlike siblings, countries can't be split up and sent to different ends of the globe occasionally. They would probably get on much better after a time out.
I knew it would end badly when I first met Chris in a Canberra alleyway and he said 'try some - it won't hurt you'..... - Christian Graus on Code Project outages A moment of silence please. A programmer's best friend has passed beyond that great exception in the sky.... - Mark Conger on "The coffee machine has died"

*grin* I really knew they are not ruled by the same people, I was trying to get a rise up. I had no idea of the stuff you're talking about though.

Err... Pakistan and Bangladesh (originally called West and East Pakistan) were created by the partition of India in 1947 when the british left in an attempt to reduce hindu/muslim conflicts which had been getting worse. They had not existed before then. Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

But since Musharraf let us land our planes in Pakistan and made nicey-nice with Bush, all is forgiven. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Too true. One of them was renamed to Bangladesh in 1971, but I can't remember which, sorry.

Christian Graus wrote: I thought Pakistan was ruled by India ? No, Pakistan was once a part of united India, that was itself ruled by Britishers. When Britishers left this region, they splitted India into two parts known as India and Pakistan. Pakistan comprised of two parts called East Pakistan And West Pakistan. East Pakistan was then made as an Independent state in 1971 called Bangladesh. West Pakistan of that time now known as simply Pakistan.
