Independence Day 2021: All You Need to Know About the Partition of India and Pakistan

News 18  

India will celebrate the 75th Independence Day on Sunday, a day after neighbouring Pakistan celebrates the occasion. The independence day of Pakistan also marks the event that marked its separation from India as British rulers left the country. According to Professor of History, Royal Holloway University of London, Sarah Ansari, partition of India was the “last-minute” mechanism by which the British were able to seal an agreement over how independence would take place. The minority groups of the country believed that a united India with a central government would establish the political dominance of the majority population which consisted of Hindus. Leveraging the opportunity for their benefit, the Muslim League’s “Pakistan” resolution called for the creation of “separate states” in March 1940 to accommodate Indian Muslims, whom it argued were a separate nation, writes Ansari in her 2017 article.
