Why did the british Goverrnment spilt India into 3different Countries in late 40's, they created tension since

Answer 1

They were trying to reduce tension, as when a parent separates fighting children. I think it worked for awhile.

Answer 2

Actually in 1947 only India and Pakistan came into existence. Bangladesh was known as East Pakistan and came into existence after the India - Pakistan War in 1971.

The British felt that a united india would pose a threat to their ambitions of global domination and imperial rule. The Britian of 1947 had primarily a colonialistic view of the world and they were bitter at having to part with the crown jewel of the british empire i.e india. They felt that pakistan would be more susceptible to their demands for military bases and be more dependent on them then india.

Answer 3

Britain, bowing to religious schisms at the time, carved the Muslim state of Pakistan out of Indian territory. The Hindu ruler of the predominantly Muslim area of Kashmir acceded later to India - an action which Pakistan never recognized.
