Child being washed by mother STORYLINE: As Pakistan celebrates 60 years of Independence from Britain on Tuesday, some of the country's refugees remain stranded in Bangladesh hoping to be allowed to return home. Crowded into impoverished shanty camps in the capital Dhaka, they are the last refugee remnants of the massive upheaval that accompanied the partition of the Indian subcontinent along religious lines in 1947. During independence from Britain Bangladesh was lumped together with Pakistan despite being more than 2,500 kilometres (1,600 miles) apart and having a separate and distinct language, culture and history. Many Urdu-speaking Muslims living in areas designated to become mainly Hindu India fled to Bangladesh, then known as East Pakistan. But when Bangladesh revolted and won its independence with the help of India in 1971, these Muslims found themselves at odds with the Bangla-speaking majority after siding with Pakistan during the brutal nine-month conflict. At the time, there were some 500,000 who called themselves "stranded Pakistanis" and opted not to join Bangladesh and return to Pakistan. But in 1993 Pakistan halted the repatriation process, saying it did not have the money or land to re -house them. That left some 250,000 of the refugees and their descendants remaining in Bangladesh, living as stateless citizens in camps set up by the Bangladeshi government. They are not allowed to apply for government jobs as they are not citizens. They can't vote either. Living conditions in the camp are very difficult. Many people live without electricity, water or adequate health care. Illiteracy, unemployment and malnutrition are rampant. Abdul Jabbar Khan, who leads the campaign for their repatriation to Pakistan says there are only 150 toilets for 25,000 people in the camp. While Bangladesh and Pakistan say they are looking for a solution, Khan said that he was disappointed by recent efforts by Pakistan's President to allow them to return home. Khan says he only has one thing on his agenda and that is repatriation.
