Abstract

Although Indian poets and philosophers had long dreamed of a united India stretching from the Himalayas to the oceans, in actuality the subcontinent for centuries was the site of warring states. Such unity as existed was imposed from the outside, such as that imposed by the British. Coming first as traders, they later turned India into a colony.

Abstract

The Partition of India refers to Britain's division of India into two states, India and Pakistan, in 1947. From the mid-eighteenth century onward, India had been under harsh colonial rule. While the British left voluntarily, little went smoothly. The transition from colonial rule to two independent countries, one primarily Hindu and the other primarily Muslim, was one of the most violent and dramatic events of its century. In the mass migration of Hindus to India and Muslims to Pakistan, more than a million people were killed.
