Detailed explanation-1: -Across the Indian subcontinent, communities that had coexisted for almost a millennium attacked each other in a terrifying outbreak of sectarian violence, with Hindus and Sikhs on one side and Muslims on the other-a mutual genocide as unexpected as it was unprecedented.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1959, the International Labour Organization (ILO) published a report stating that between the period of 1951–1956, around 650, 000 Muslims from India relocated to West Pakistan.
Detailed explanation-3: -Clashes between Hindus and Muslims occurred in the Indian subcontinent long before the British arrived, but tensions increased during British colonial rule.
