LGBT rights in East Bengal (1947–1955)

Main article: LGBT rights in Bangladesh

Bengali Muslims created their homeland known as Eastern Pakistan according to the Lahore Resolution of 1940. From the British period to the Independence of Pakistan no Bengali Muslim writer wrote anything on behalf of Muslim Homosexuality. On the other hand, the old Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code was active in the Penal Code of Pakistan. United Pakistan, according to Two-Nation Theory was created as a Muslim nation, so Bengali Muslim writers and poets were given priorities rather than top Hindu Bengali writers who were prominents from the British period. British period's Muslim writers e.g. Kazi Nazrul Islam's writings were publicised. No Muslim Bengali intellectual is known to have written anything on behalf of Homosexuality during Pakistan period of the then East Bengal.
