The story of the Indo-Pakistan Partition

Throughout the world, there was either a Monarchial or a Colonial rule established. The Empire that takes the rights of people of any other country completely deprives the host of its resources, diversity, and ethnicity. One such Empire was Britain that colonized many other countries out of which a prominent Colony was India. The British rulers gradually, by diplomatic and tactful methods, colonized India. After the prolonged revolts and was, India gained its independence. But this Independence came with many drawbacks and the most crucial was the division of the Indian subcontinent.

The Indian subcontinent in the colonial rule was also known as "British Raj" or "British India". When India became free from British rule it got separated into the countries of India and Pakistan. This partition took place in 1947 and made West and East Pakistan separate from India. A significant cause of the Indian partition was: "The Two Nation Theory" presented by 'Syed Ahmed Khan'.

Religion was the most important aspect of this division. The Muslim-majority part was named Pakistan whereas, the Hindu-majority part was the Indian nation. But the Indian leaders adopted safeguards during this partition to prevent other religions as well in the country and is hence used secular measures to avoid any conflict between the religious groups. The most prominent man involved in this division of India was 'Muhammad Ali Jinnah'. He was the main spokesman for the splitting of the nation and further this helped him to secure his position for the "First Governor-General of Pakistan".

There was a deeply negative impact caused by this separation. The partition observed a massive displacement and population change. There was a large number of refugees searching for shelter who lost homes & living in Wars of partition. The government faced intense issues during this migration accompanied by harsh violence on both sides. Unfortunately, this black spot still exists in the hearts of citizens of both countries which is the reason for this liking and hatred among both countries even to date.
