The Radcliffe Line is the boundary demarcation that was established in 1947 to separate India and Pakistan during the partition of British India. Named after the British lawyer Cyril Radcliffe, who chaired the boundary commission, the line was drawn to address religious demographics, with predominantly Hindu areas going to India and predominantly Muslim areas going to Pakistan. The partition led to significant population displacement and communal violence, as millions of people migrated across the newly drawn borders. The Radcliffe Line remains a critical historical reference point in understanding the complex relationship between India and Pakistan and the ongoing disputes over regions like Kashmir.
