Abstract
Separatist tendencies grow when grievances of a
particular community or people of a particular area are not
addressed for a long period of time. In Pakistan, what provokes
people is disparity among its regions in terms of education,
health, industry, and infrastructure. Though slogans and demands
for new provinces are mostly exploited by the politicians for their
own vested interests, it is worth analyzing whether these demands
find any justification on the basis of lack of abovementioned
facilities. Hence, this paper attempts to answer the following
questions: What is the historical position of Saraiki region? Has it
remained connected or detached in past from the mainstream
Punjab? Does descriptive statistics show any large scale
differences in basic facilities of life between Central Punjab and
Sariaki Punjab? Do socia-economic statistics support demand for
a separate province?
