One important result of the 1947 Partition of India was the creation of two separate countries - India and Pakistan. The partition was based on religious lines, with India predominantly inhabited by Hindus and Pakistan primarily being a Muslim-majority country. The partition led to widespread communal violence and the displacement of millions of people, as Hindus and Sikhs moved from Pakistan to India, while Muslims moved from India to Pakistan. The partition also marked the end of British colonial rule in the Indian subcontinent and the establishment of independent nations.
