Partition refers to the division of British India into two independent dominions, India and Pakistan, in 1947. This monumental event was driven by religious and political tensions, leading to one of the largest mass migrations in history, with millions of people crossing borders to join their respective nations. The aftermath of Partition was marked by widespread violence, communal riots, and significant loss of life. Families were torn apart, and the scars of this division continue to affect the socio-political landscape of South Asia today, influencing relations between India and Pakistan.
