Detailed explanation-1: -Crudely, this was a division based upon religious affiliation, with the creation of a Muslim majority in West and East Pakistan and a Hindu majority in India.
Detailed explanation-2: -The partition of India was the most notable event that had occurred in Indian history. Its main reason was the thinking of the Muslims and their communalism. But the circumstances under which it happened made it one of the saddest events in the Indian history.
Detailed explanation-3: -Immediately, there began one of the greatest migrations in human history, as millions of Muslims trekked to West and East Pakistan (the latter now known as Bangladesh) while millions of Hindus and Sikhs headed in the opposite direction. Many hundreds of thousands never made it.
Detailed explanation-4: -The partition of India in August 1947 is one such example. Despite being one of the largest and most rapid migrations in human history with an estimated 14.5 million people migrating within four years, there is little analytic work that examines the nature or conse-quences of this rapid movement.
