Most of the difficulties of Pakistan were related with Pakistan contest with India, such as the accession of the princely declares, canal Water contest, refugees' difficulties and distribution of armed and military assets.

    Pakistan won its Independence on 14th August, 1947. It was not easy and it did not come without problems. There were a lot of hurdles for the people of Pakistan to overcome. Some of them are mentioned below:
   
   1. First and foremost, the violence and mass killings on both the sides of the border created a law and order situation which became very hard to control and needed a lot of resources which the new country lacked. According to estimates around 250,000 people were killed.
   
   2. Refugee problem, the newly born state of Pakistan faced the issue of refugees migrating from India to Pakistan, leaving everything behind. Making things even harder for the state of Pakistan to manage and organize things. 12 to 24 million people migrated to Pakistan. Muslims were migrating to Pakistan while Hindus and Sikhs were moving to India.
   
   3. Accessions of the Princely state also became a big problem for Pakistan after Independence. Kashmir is a live example of the princely state issue.
   
   4. Pakistan lacked the machinery, personnel and supplies to float its self easily. Simply put Pakistan did not get even its own share of things which added to the problem list of Pakistan.
   
   5. Pakistan’s economy was highly unstable and did not seem lucrative enough to invest.
   
   6. Distribution of military assets was another problem faced by Pakistan in its early days. Pakistan and India became born and natural enemies so Pakistan needed the assets to protect its sovereignty.
   
   7. Constitution and law making was to be done and it was of high importance because the laws of that time were British made which did not represent the people of Pakistan well.
   
   8. The two wings of Pakistan were 1,600 km away from eachother, having no common boundaries except for the enemy land in between.
   
   9. Most of the commodities were bought from India; Industry of Pakistan was almost nonexistent. Even Punjab’s electricity was imported from India which made them dependent on India.
