China
B
India
C
Cuba
D
Italy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to scholar Francis Robinson’s research, India’s colonial structure instigated the hostility between Hindus and Muslims. This was no doubt caused by Muslims being the minority in British-India, which drove this demographic to form a separate political identity away from British and Hindu influence.

Detailed explanation-2: -1 What caused the partition of India? Ans. 1 The British policy of divide and rule, the Muslim league and Jinnah’s separate politics, the Pakistan Resolution, and the Communal violence of 1946 are some causes of the partition of India.

Detailed explanation-3: -Likewise, conflict between ostensibly Hindu and Muslim kings was not about religion – it was only about land, gold, or politics. The traditional story expounded by India’s leaders and public intellectuals is that religious tolerance stands at the core of Indian history.

Detailed explanation-4: -The partition caused large-scale loss of life and an unprecedented migration between the two dominions. Among refugees that survived, it solidified the belief that safety lay among co-religionists. In the instance of Pakistan, it made palpable a hitherto only imagined refuge for the Muslims of British India.
