What was the population of Pakistan in 1997?
Pakistan previously comprised West Pakistan and East Pakistan, which since 1971 has been the separate country of Bangladesh. In the 1967 edition of Whitaker's almanac the population of West Pakistan was given as 43 million, and that of East Pakistan as 51 million. the combined population of the provinces making up West Pakistan was: 34 million in 1951, a few years after partition; 43 million in 1961, which corresponds with the figure given above; 66 million in 1972; 87 million in 1981; 132 million in 1998. The 2010 population of that territory is estimated to be about 170 million. The population now is about 156 million, but from a chart it appears to have been about 42 million at the time of partition, and about 58 million in 1961. So the answer to the question: "What was the population of Pakistan in 1947?" has to come in two parts: 1. For the entire territory that was then Pakistan, about 76 million - 34 million in West Pakistan plus 42 million in East Pakistan - which combined total of 76 million has now grown to about 326 million. 2. Just for the territory that is now Pakistan, about 34 million, which has grown to about 170 million.

Where was the Indian partition signed?
The partition of India was not a treaty, it was part of the law passed by the British Parliament in London granting Indian independence in 1947. The British Empire ruled most of the Indian subcontinent before then. There were strong but conflicting independence movements in India, the Hindu effort led by Gandhi and the Muslim movement led by Jinnah. Britain hoped to minimize violent conflict between them after independence; its solution was to divide India into two countries, Muslim Pakistan and Hindu India, depending on which religion was predominant in the area, and on referenda in areas where the local preference was not clear. Both the Hindus and the Muslims grudgingly agreed to this. Perhaps no solution could have avoided violence entirely, but partition under the British plan resulted immediately in war between India and Pakistan. The resulting deaths are estimated at between several hundred thousand and one million, and between 10 to 12 million people were displace, crossing the boundary between India and Pakistan in 1947. There is still some hostility between the two countries present 65 years later.
