Key basic industries, such as railroads, textiles, and steel had barely made a profit. Railroads lost business to new forms of transportation (trucks, buses, and private automobiles, for instance). Coal mining was especially hard-hit, in part due to stiff competition from new forms of energy, including hydroelectric power, fuel oil, and natural gas.
personally, I believe people will go without them, but it is also very possible people will look elsewhere for them, but its all a matter of perspective. I think that if the economy cannot produce the goods and services, no where else is able to either, thus, you'd go without it, and it isnt to say you wont want it. You will, maybe even more so. And I doubt people will focus on needs more than they already are, unless it gets worse for the consumer itself in that regard. I cant say im right though.
The Culture, Language, History, Geography, Economics and Ethnic Background of the two regions were very different.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The British separated Pakistan and India based on the religion along with the Independence. Pakistan ( as in these days ) was separated based on the Muslim majority and India was separated based on the Hindu majority. Also, there was another land in the east of India with a Muslim majority that refused to mingle along with India. And it named East Pakistan ( Bangladesh these days ).
Those lands were separated by more than 1000 miles. These distances changed the cultural pattern of East and West Pakistan. Also, East Pakistan was adjacent to the Indian territory by three sides. This resulted in the variation of language, history, economics, geography, ethnic background and other cultural patterns between those Pakistan lands.
