    One inevitable impact the division had on the people was perhaps one of the greatest refugee crises and migration in history. Over 10 million people moved between India and Pakistan. For the most part, the Hindus generally moved into the Indian subcontinent while the Muslims, who feared Hindu domination, migrated to East and West Pakistan. In Document 8 it shows that there were around 8.6 million Muslim refugees that migrated out of India into either East or West Pakistan. In addition to this extraordinary refugee crises, another effect the division of India had was border tensions. The tensions between the borders of India and Pakistan resulted in India being at the “receiving end of Pakistan’s heavy shelling” and “heavy bombing” (Document 9b). This shows that not only was there a large scale migration crises, there was also several attacks and possibly deaths and casualties from bombs. Also, in document 9a it that states that another effect of the division was that there were “two armed conflicts (in 1965 and 1999) and numerous clashes between Indian and Pakistani forces”. This highlights the various facets of the tensions and problems the division of India had on the Hindus and Muslims. It is inevitable that the division of the region greatly affected the people who lived there by causing the largest migration in human history, armed conflicts, and…

    Partition, a euphemism for the bloody violence that preceded the birth of India and Pakistan as the British hurriedly handed over power in 1947, is becoming a fading word in the history books. First-hand accounts will soon vanish. Khushwant Singh, who was over thirty at the time, later wrote Train to Pakistan and got it published in 1956. Reprinted since then, reissued in hardcover, and translated into many languages, the novel is now known as a classic, one of the finest and best-known treatments of the subject.…

    When the British finally left India, the people weren’t sure how to rule themselves. The partition of India was known as the world’s biggest migration, where over 1 million people migrated from India to Pakistan. They were promised new homeland from the British. In 1947 the border between India and Pakistan became a river of blood because of rioting. Over ten million people travelled on foot, trains, and carts. In the summer of 1947, millions of people were slaughtered on both sides of the religious rioting.…

    Saadat Hasan Manto’s works portrays the darkness of the human psyche, as values continuously plummeted during the Partition. His works, released during the dark social climate of post-partition Indian subcontinent reflected an innate sense of human helplessness towards darkness that prevailed in society. The tragedy of partition is brought into focus by his works. Manto’s life and works serve as a mirror to capture the human element of sectarian conflict in the final decades and immediate aftermath of the British Raj. This paper draws on Manto’s stories, characters and incidents to paint an image of the Indian subcontinent during partition and to personify its devastating toll.…

    The partition of India in August 1947 was a highly controversial event and has led to widespread speculation regarding its causes and consequences. Orthodox historians credit the creation of Pakistan to Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the leader of the All India Muslim League, and his determination to create a sovereign state for Indian Muslims. However, this view has been contested by a number of historians, who place responsibility for the partition on the political manoeuvring of the Congress and the constitutional reforms of the British Raj. Existing communal tensions and Hindu-Muslim differences have also been blamed for the split. Revisionist historians question whether Jinnah even wanted partition and have suggested that the 'Pakistan' demand was simply a bargaining counter to gain recognition for Muslims. I am going to analyse each interpretation of the event and question the true causes for partition.…

    The interwar period (1919-1939) is crucial in the history of India as it is an important part of the jigsaw puzzle in understanding the contemporary political structure and the formation in Modern India and Pakistan. This period as a whole is very sensitive as huge changes and restructuring were taking place all over the world after the drastic world war. Since the world I war was mostly fought between colonies and as the World War I came to end, many or simply most of the colonies which due to their service to the Great Britain or due to the fact that they were in German control suddenly found themselves as free nations. So it is eminent that the British would lose more and more colonies during this time and because of that they would tighten…

    The foremost attempt in this direction is taken by Khushwant Singh in his novel Train to Pakistan in which he depicted the trauma of the victims of partition. As he himself belongs to the community who remained the victim of this cruel fate, he could easily understand the pain of the people who fell prey to this plot. Not only he participated as a villager in the events of Mano Majra, an imaginative peaceful abode of communal harmony, but he narrated the whole tragedy as a detached observer also. He neither blamed Hindu, Muslims & even the evil Britishers; but emphasized that in this tragic incident not only a country was divided, but even the heart & the soul of the people got alienated. It is an agonizing tale of the people who got caught in the tempest of partition.…

    When Pakistan was formed in 1947, she needed both economic (due to initial problems) and military (Indian threat) assistance for its survival.

After Partition, Liaqat Ali khan (1st PM) was invited by Soviets and Americans. He chooses sanity over inhumanity and visited US, thus strengthening PAK-US relations. India established relations with Soviets.…
