Partition of India To partition is to split/divide a country. Leading up to India gaining independence, the conflict between Muslims and Hindus continued to increase within India. In an attempt to solve this issue, India was partitioned into two separate countries, India and Pakistan. Pakistan became the predominantlymulsim country while India was to be predominantlyHindu. However, the divide was not a clean cut. Thousands of people lived on the “wrong side” of the partition and had to flee their home to avoid violence. The two new countries watched each other warily (carefully). India and Pakistan fought a short war over disputed territory in 1965. A more serious conflict in 1971 resulted in India losing its eastern territory to Pakistan, which subsequently became Bangladesh. After that, tension remained as Indians and Pakistanis struggled for control of the disputed region of Kashmir, but no more wars took place.
