Description: An essay on the nature of Bengali demand for autonomy in Pakistan in the 1960s, and Field Marshall Ayub Khan's military-bureaucratic regime's response to his demand during 1966-1969.
Notes: Title from cover.

The Six Point Movement in East Pakistan, spearheaded by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, called for greater autonomy for East Pakistan. The movement's main agenda was to realize the six demands put forward by a coalition of Bengali nationalist political parties in 1966, to end the perceived exploitation of East Pakistan by the West Pakistani rulers.
