One important result of the 1947 Partition of India was the creation of two independent nations, India and Pakistan. The partition was based on religious lines and resulted in the division of British India into predominantly Hindu-majority India and a separate Muslim-majority Pakistan. This led to mass migrations and communal violence between Hindus and Muslims, resulting in the displacement and deaths of millions of people. The partition also sparked ongoing tensions and conflicts between India and Pakistan, particularly over the disputed region of Kashmir, which continue to this day.
