Explanation:
India and Pakistan.
Partition of India and Pakistan was based on the two nation theory. The theory said that Hindus and Muslims were to be seen as different nationalities.
Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand
Punjab’s bifurcation was on the basis of language which led to the formation of Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. Uttarakhand was formed on cultural and administrative purposes.
Pakistan and Bangladesh
Bangladesh was earlier East Pakistan. It was divided on the basis of two nation theory, but it represented its failure (dividing nations on the basis of religion).
Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh
Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh were formed in 2000 for cultural and administrative purposes as the country failed to include the tribal populations and improve their socio economic status in its development policy.
