India-Pakistan division

The India-Pakistan division originated in 1947 when British India gained independence, leading to the creation of two separate countries primarily based on religious lines: India, with a Hindu majority, and Pakistan, with a Muslim majority. This partition was driven by religious differences and demands for separate nations, resulting in widespread displacement and violence. The division also created unresolved disputes, notably over Kashmir, leading to ongoing tensions and conflicts. Overall, it was a complex process involving political, religious, and social factors that shaped the modern relationship between the two nations.
