Explanation

When Pakistan was founded in 1947, it consisted of five provinces:

  1. East Bengal (now Bangladesh)
  2. West Punjab (now Punjab)
  3. Sindh
  4. North-West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)
  5. Baluchistan (now Balochistan)

In 1955, the One Unit policy was introduced, which merged the western provinces into a single unit called West Pakistan, with the provincial capital in Lahore. At the same time, East Bengal was renamed East Pakistan, with its provincial capital in Dhaka.
