Partition of the Indian Subcontinent and its Attending Problems: An Analytical Study

Abstract

The partition of the Indian subcontinent denotes the consequential bifurcation of British India into two autonomous nations, India and Pakistan, during the pivotal year of 1947. This historical partition stands as a seminal juncture, eliciting profound ramifications encompassing both advantageous and detrimental dimensions. The intricate process of partition was intertwined with a constellation of attendant predicaments, such as religious schisms, extensive population migrations and dislocations, intercommunal upheaval, and territorial disputes, several of which endure as persistent influences exerting their impact upon the region's contemporary trajectory.
