Question

What political challenges were faced after the partition of India and Pakistan?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Partition of India was the outcome of the “two-nation theory”.

Punjab and Bengal were the two provinces divided on the basis of religion.

East Pakistan and West Pakistan were not contiguous.

The scheme of Partition included a plan for transfer of population across the border.

Answer 2

Answer:

Both states subsequently faced huge problems accommodating and rehabilitating post-Partition refugees, whose numbers swelled when the two states went to war over the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir in 1947-8. Later bouts of communal tension generated further movement, with a trickle of people still migrating as late as the 1960s.
