Developments of 1937-1947 period Leading to the creation of Pakistan:
• Muslim league was formed in 1906 but Congress’s failure to mobilise the Muslim masses in
the 1920s allowed the League to widen its social support.
• In Election results of 1937, they got very less seats, even in areas where a large number of
Muslims lived, made them feel as a minority community.
• In 1940 two nation theory was floated by them.
• Elections to the provinces were again held in 1946. Congress did well in the “General”
constituencies but the the league’s success in the seats reserved for Muslims was
spectacular. So the league persisted with its demand for “Pakistan”.
• In March 1946 the British cabinet sent a three-member mission to Delhi to examine this
demand and to suggest a suitable political framework for a free India.
• After the failure of the Cabinet Mission, the Muslim League decided on mass agitation for
winning its Pakistan demand and announced 16 August 1946 as “Direct Action Day”.
• On this day riots broke out in Calcutta, lasting several days and resulting in the death of
thousands of people, mostly Hindus.
• By March 1947 violence spread to different parts of northern India.
• With mass agitation, India was partitioned in 1947 and Pakistan was born.

Here is a Quick Summary for the same
The Partition of India was the division of British India[a] in 1947 which accompanied the creation of two independent dominions, India and Pakistan.[1] The Dominion of India is today the Republic of India, and the Dominion of Pakistan is today the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the People's Republic of Bangladesh. The partition involved the division of three provinces, Assam, Bengaland the Punjab, based on district-wide Hinduor Muslim majorities. The boundary demarcating India and Pakistan became known as the Radcliffe Line. It also involved the division of the British Indian Army, the Royal Indian Navy, the Indian Civil Service, the railways, and the central treasury, between the two new dominions.
