widespread discontent in its population, particularly the en!alis# One such feature wasthe reli!ion %ased polity that !ave opportunity to the military to influence politics# Theyalso felt that reli!ious nationalism failed to esta%lish a sustaina%le state in )akistan#Geepin! in mind the lack of democracy and powerful influence of the military in)akistan, the drafters of the constitution envisioned an!ladesh as a secular democracy , in order to esta%lish a pro!ressive and sustaina%le state# ['/] The secular nature of en!aliculture also served as an important motivation in inspirin! a secular state for an!ladesh#
