Legacy and issues of Partition: Boundaries, Displacement and Rehabilitation

India was accompanied by Pakistan in independence. Thus, two nation states came into existence, because of 'partition' of British India. Pakistan was culmination of the communal politics engendered by the British rule and championed by the Muslim League as "two nation theory" which implied India consisted of two 'People' Hindus and Muslims.

Due to the forceful circumstances and several political developments in 1940's the political competition between the Congress and the Muslim League and the British role led to the decision for the creation of Pakistan.
