Question

Discussion with your elders about the condition of india during partition and write 5to 6 lines

Answer 1

During the Partition of India, violence against women was an extensive issue.[1] It is estimated that during the partition between 75,000[2] and 100,000 women were kidnapped and raped.[3] The rape of women by males during this period is well documented,[4] with women also being complicit in these attacks.[4][5]

It has been estimated that twice as many Muslim women were abducted compared to Hindu and Sikh women, due to the actions of organised Sikh jathas.[6]

India and Pakistan later worked to repatriate the abducted women. Muslim women were to be sent to Pakistan and Hindu and Sikh women to India.[6]
