It was necessary to divide British India into two separate countries, India and Pakistan, because of the religious differences and disputes in the British colony. Hindus were concentrated in the middle while Muslims formed the majority in both the west and the east. To avoid conflict, two separate countries were created to separate the Hindus and the Muslims. But because some Muslims still lived in India and vice versa, there was mass Immigration between the two countries, where conflict usually broke out. 😃
Note: also, Pakistan & India is & was racially different.They had more differences than similarities. Religion was not the only reason as stated by Jinnah in his '2 nation theory'. Today's Pakistan is predominantly indo-aryans while India is diverse/united republic.
