Question

Why was the partition important?

Answer 1

Answer:

The partition was outlined in the Indian Independence Act 1947 and resulted in the dissolution of the British Raj, i.e. Crown rule in India. The two self-governing independent Dominions of India and Pakistan legally came into existence at midnight on 15 August 1947.

Answer 2

It was important to put a forever end to British Raj and also secure peace.

• If the company had departed without Partition, Hindu-Muslim tensions might have erupted into civil conflict, resulting in a bloodier Partition.
• As a result of the conflict, India would have become a hotspot of Hindu communalism and carnage, with people labelled traitors.
• Instead of two nations, India and Pakistan, civil war would have resulted in the formation of a dozen or more countries, each with its own set of conflicts and painful civil war memories.
• Gandhi did everything to keep the country together. But it was made obvious that we would either have one partition or several partitions. Sardar Patel was a supporter of Partition and wanted the conflict to end quickly.
• Moreover, had this not happened In both the North Western and North Eastern edges, India would have to deal with insecurity.
• The British made no effort to establish a governmental framework in these areas. They were kept as buffers to safeguard the subcontinent's most important regions.
