Answer 1

Answer:

The new British Government came to power under the labour party led by Clement Attlee, sympathizer to India,also expedited Indian independence from colonial rule. Meanwhile, the All India Muslim League under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah rased claims for a separate country called pakistan. Following this , Lord Mountbatten was appointed as the Viceroy of India to deliver freedom to India addressing the question of partition. He argued that freedom to India was impossible without partition and to support this he prepared a strategy called 'Mountbatten plan'.

His proposals were:

1. To form a separate country in Muslim majority area as per the Muslims wish
2. To divide Punjab and Bengal
3. To conduct a referendum to determine whether to add NWFP to Pakistan or not
4. To appoint a commission to determine the boarders of Punjab and Bengal

While the Congress and AIML approved this plan the nationalists like Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan vehemently opposed it.

In 1947, when the British parliament passed the Indian Independence Act , two free nations - India and Pakistan- came into existence . Jawaharlal Nehru became the first P.M of Independent India.

India became Independent on 15th August of 1947and Pakistan on 14th August of 1947.
