why partition between india and pakistan has been taken place?

Answer 1

Since the arrival of Muslims in India in 712 AD, they had almost always been the rulers of the region; although they were in minority. Their rule ended with the arrival of British who saw Muslims as enemies, as former rulers could be a grave danger to their authority at any time. Consequently, British oppressed Muslims in every way possible which left Muslim community weak while Hindus were already partially in power as they supported British on different levels of politics and government. New generations of Muslims became more emotional than practical which could not guarantee the revival of Muslim rule on entire region. Therefore, Muslim leaders felt that it was necessary for Muslims to have a country in the region with self-rule and freedom which would guarantee the survival of Islam as a powerful religion in the region.

Answer 2

In the days of 'The Raj' England controlled a massive Indian population using the English favourite of divide and rule. The peoples of India were divided on religious grounds. As India approached Independence, the antagonisms created by the English ruling class, were far too strong to be just left; there would have been yet another genocide, so Pakistan was created, to absorb, usually forcefully, one of the religious groups.

The borders were not clearly defined, so the two 'powerful' countries, still remain in constant conflict with each other over Kashmir. It is a sorry state of affairs, that like the repeated starvations faced by African nations, is a direct result of English imperialism.

Answer 3

It comes back to the widespread belief at that time that India would be ungovernable once British rule ended. It was suggested however by certain advisers to the Viceroy that if people from the two main religions (Hindus and Muslims) lived in different states, there was a possibility that the Indian sub continent just might then be rendered self governable. Regrettably subsequent events and experiences while confirming former belief to be correct, does seem to have shown latter belief to be incorrect?

Answer 4

But I love the idea of two neighbour National days 08/14 in Pakistan and 08/15 in India.

Answer 5

The Muslims wanted their own country when India became independent, they did not want to be governed by Hindus. So India becamew mainly Hindu and Pakistan was created so that the Muslims could rule themselves.

Answer 6

study the historic past of India from 1600 to 1947 and the Indian Independence Act maximum appropriate to the partition of India .Any way it so occurred maximum appropriate the formation of Pakistan in Indian Union .

Answer 7

Do you mean why was they seperated? Its a bit of an Israel style of state in the fact it was a country created for muslims when Britain left. Ironically the majority of muslims opposed the idea as did Lord Mountbatten and India as well.

Answer 8

though it was not what ghandi wanted and even though president nehru wanted one idian at first, partition had to happen. religion was something to die for and indeed that is what ahppened. millions died, they had to partition and stop the killing. there was no choice or there would be more killing, killing of babies womens children men boys, everyone. if it didnt happen, the sicks hindus and muslims would kill each other unitl no one was spared. to put it metophorically, they had to keep these two angry dogs in seprarate cages before they both kill each other.

Answer 9

It is an incredibly complex question that cannot be adequately answered here. It has a lot to do with religious differences, but it goes well beyond that. See the site below for a good introduction.

Answer 10

Sadly Mountbatten's biggest mistake It has caused more bloodshed that it was worth (millions not thousands)
