The key outcome of the 1947 partition of India was the creation of two independent dominions: India and Pakistan. As British colonial rule came to an end, tensions between Hindus and Muslims grew, leading to demands for separate nations. The partition resulted in the division of geographic territories, with Pakistan primarily for Muslims and India for Hindus. However, this abrupt separation had devastating consequences, including widespread communal violence and mass migrations, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and a humanitarian crisis. The partition deeply affected the socio-political landscape of the region and continues to influence Indo-Pakistani relations today.
