Who separated India?
The separation of India into India and Pakistan occurred during India's independence from the British. Mahatma Gandhi, one of the primary supporters for peace between Hindus and Muslims, supported the divide, a move which eventually led to his assassination by a Hindu extremist. The part of India to retain its namesake contained a Hindu majority, while the portion that became Pakistan, and later Bangladesh, contained the majority of Muslims. Hindus and Muslims trapped on the wrong side of the border moved between the countries in trains following the partition.
What was pakistain doing in world war 2?
Pakistan did not exist as a nation during WWII. The territory that is now Pakistan was still a part of India, and all of India was a colony of Great Britain. India was granted its independence in 1947, after the war. At the same time Pakistan was created, as a homeland for the Muslim population of India. Most of the inhabitants of the area were Muslims, but any Hindus living in what became Pakistan were basically forced out, and made to move to India. Similarly, Muslims residing in parts of India which were not in the new Pakistan were likewise forced to move to the new Muslim nation of Pakistan. At that time, in 1947, and for many years after, there was East Pakistan and West Pakistan. West Pakistan is what is today Pakistan, and East Pakistan is now Bangladesh.

Why was India partitioned into two countries?
The Muslims were afraid that as a minority in majority Hindu state, that they would not be able to adequately defend their rights as Muslims.

Later that country (Pakistan) divided into two countries (Pakistan and Bangladesh) since there were many differences between Pakistanis and Bengalis in terms of culture and aspirations.
