The Indian National Congress approved the partition
Answers
Explanation:
Pressurised by the various resistance movements occurring in India, the British Government had adopted a ‘divide-and-rule’ policy which hampered the unification of the already fragile social classes in India. The Indian National Congress which was founded on the basis of secularism was initially opposed to the idea of gaining freedom with a partition on the basis of religion. But at the same time, it was also against compelling the people of any territorial unit to remain in the Indian Union against their declared and established will. This feeling was intensified with the continued riots that India witnessed prior to her independence. Thus, giving into to the adamant demands by the Muslim League for a separate Muslim nation, the Indian National Congress was forced to approve the partition.
