Question

Discuss the factors that led to the partition of india.

Answer 1

This is fine for creating a DataArray -- but when I try to convert to a dataset (so I can write to netCDF), I get an error about 'ValueError: Coordinate objects must be 1-dimensional'

2) The second approach I've tried is taking my dataarray, casting it to a dataframe, setting the index to ['lat','lng', 'time'] and then going back to a dataset with xr.Dataset.from_dataframe(). I've tried this -- but it takes 20+ min before I kill the process.

Answer 2

The partition of India in 1947 eventually accompanied the creation of two independent dominions, India and Pakistan. The Dominion of India became, as of 1950, the Republic of India (India), and the Dominion of Pakistan became, as of 1956, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (Pakistan). In 1971, the People's Republic of Bangladesh (Bangladesh) came into being after Bangladesh Liberation War. The partition involved the division of three provinces, Assam, Bengal and Punjab, based on district-wide Hindu or Muslim majorities. The boundary demarcating India and Pakistan came to be 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. The partition was set forth in the Indian Independence Act 1947 and resulted in the dissolution of the British Raj, as the British government there was called. The two self-governing countries of Pakistan and India legally came into existence at midnight on 14–15 August 1947.
