In 1960, Pakistan was a newly formed country that had gained independence from British colonial rule in 1947. The country was divided into two geographically separated regions, East Pakistan (present-day Bangladesh) and West Pakistan (present-day Pakistan), with a distance of over 1,000 miles between the two. In 1960, Pakistan was a predominantly agricultural country, with agriculture being the main source of income for the majority of the population. The industrial sector was also growing, but was largely concentrated in West Pakistan. The political climate in Pakistan was characterized by a series of military coups, with the military taking control of the government in 1958 under General Ayub Khan. In 1960, Ayub Khan was serving as the President of Pakistan and had introduced a series of economic reforms aimed at modernizing the country's economy and reducing poverty. Pakistan was also facing challenges in the realm of foreign relations, particularly with its neighbor India. In 1960, the two countries were engaged in a border dispute over the region of Kashmir, which had been ongoing since 1947. Overall, 1960 was a time of significant change and transition for Pakistan, as the country continued to grapple with issues related to its economy, politics, and foreign relations.
