1. Analyze the historical backgrounds between 1905 and 1947 that
caused the partition of India and emergence of Pakistan.
Answers
Answer:
The partition of India split British India into the countries of India and Pakistan (East and West Pakistan) in 1947. This partition was part of the end of British rule over the Indian subcontinent, called British Raj. The partition was caused in part by the two-nation theory presented by Syed Ahmed Khan, due to presented religious issues. Pakistan became a Muslim country, and India became a majority Hindu but secular country. The main spokesman for the partition was Muhammad Ali Jinnah. He became the first Governor-General of Pakistan.The newly formed governments were unable to deal with forced migration of such huge numbers. Massive violence occurred on both sides of the border.Hundreds of thousands died; some estimates are in the millions.
The partition caused a lot of uncertainty in many parts of the new nations; especially in the region of Jammu and Kashmir.
