Explanation:

• The Partition of India in 1947 split British India into two separate territories: India and Pakistan. The Dominion of India is now the Republic of India, and the Dominion of Pakistan is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the People's Republic of Bangladesh.
• The split included splitting her two states of Bengal and Punjab based on the non-Muslim or Muslim majority of the entire district. The division also split the British Indian Army, Royal Indian Navy, Royal Indian Air Force, Indian Civil Service, Railways and Central Treasury. This division was outlined in her 1947 India Independence Act, resulting in the dissolution of the British Raj, or royal rule of India. The two Dominions of India and Pakistan were legally incorporated at midnight on 14th and 15th August 1947.
• In pottery, a potter's wheel is a machine used to shape (called throw) a round piece of pottery known as clay. Wheels can also be used in the process of trimming the excess body of hardened leather (hard but malleable) and applying notched decorations and coloring. The use of the potter's wheel was widespread throughout the Old World, but was unknown in the pre-Columbian New World, where pottery was handcrafted using methods such as rolling and hammering.
