Question

Name two cities which become divided into communal zones at the time of partition?

Answer 1

Answer:

Amritsar and Kolkata.

Answer 2

Answer:

Lahore, Amritsar and Kolkata

Explanation:

These three cities became the communal zone at the time of partition. The reason behind the formation of such communal zone was the fear of major religious segments in these areas. The people belonging to minority religion were afraid of the major religious segments.

This fear was due to the reason that where there was a majority of Muslims, they were killing Sikhs and Hindus mercilessly and where there was a majority of Sikhs or Hindus, they were killing the Muslims. This led to a reign of terror and nobody was feeling safe in the territory of people with the majority of religion other than their own religion.
