The Partition of India was such an event which devastated both the nations, India and Pakistan, completely. The impact of the partition of India was quite distressing. The immediate result of partition was violence. Communal riots took place throughout the country destroying lives, wealth and resulting in a bitterness that was hard to wipe out. Moreover, after India attained Independence, the minorities were affected directly in the areas of partition. Their fate was in a perilous situation. In addition to this, the `Direct Action` campaign by the Muslim League was followed by the Calcutta killing and disturbances in the Noakhali district of East Bengal. Tension prevailed in the areas of Bihar and Punjab and the North-West Frontier Province as well. These areas witnessed massive bloodshed and arson.
According to the Indian Independence Act 1947 the princely states in India were left to choose whether to accede to India or Pakistan or to remain outside. As the aftermath of partition, all of them were incorporated into one or other of the new dominions. In this connection, Jammu and Kashmir had to face the question of choice. This led to further anxiety among the two communities. Observing such communal hostility, Gandhiji and Jinnah both issued a joint appeal to Lord Mountbatten. But he, too, failed to bring about any noticeable change in the relations between the two communities. The aftermath of the partition also reported to have displaced about 12 million to 15 million people in the former British Indian Empire. These refugees moved across the borders to regions which were completely foreign to them. Apart from the fact that the country was divided, the provinces of Punjab and Bengal were also separated. These divisions caused disastrous riots and claimed the lives of Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs.
The announcement of the June 3rd plan or Mountbatten Plan and its acceptance by the political leaders temporarily tried to end the communal hostilities. But the Muslim League in the Punjab region announced that it would resist any change in the speculative division of the province. As a result, the Sikhs immediately launched a violent counter-agitation, and this again caused a dangerous situation including the impact of partition of India. Immediately thereafter, Gandhiji and the Congress leaders appealed to the Hindu and Sikh minorities in Pakistan areas to face the situation in the areas bravely and to stay in their respective homes.
But after, the announcement of the Radcliffe Award oil on 17th August, a campaign was launched to drive out the Hindus and Sikhs all over West Punjab and the North-West Frontier Province. Furthermore, serious disturbances in the Lahore, Sheikhupura, Sialkot and Gujranwala districts started to develop as the aftermath of partition. The massacre was followed by a violent anti-Muslim reaction in Amritsar. Soon after, communal turbulence engrossed the people on both sides of the border leading to the sufferance of the masses in both the countries.
Impact of Partition of India also gave rise to the problem of refugees. The Hindus and Sikhs in West Pakistan entered the Indian border by the shortest routes. The flow proceeded through East Punjab and the city and province of Delhi and overflowed into the western districts of the United Provinces. The refugees were driven from their homes under conditions of inexpressible dismay and misery. The mass destruction in Western Pakistan had its impact in East Punjab too. The trouble continued to spread in the areas of Patiala and East Punjab States to the western districts of the United Provinces, especially Meerut and Saharanpur. The States of Bharatpur, Alwar, and Delhi also witnessed the problem. The Muslims in these areas now started a mass exodus to the Pakistan border. Mark it as brainliest
