Did Pakistan and Bangladesh used to be part of India?

Pakistan, Bangladesh (East Pakistan), and India collectively were called the Sub-continent. The Muslims ruled Sub-Continent for almost 1000 years. At that time, Sub-Continent was referred as Hindustan (Farsi). India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh all together make Hindustan. Therefore, it is wrong to say that Pakistan and Bangladesh used to be the parts of India. Instead, the three countries were the integral parts of Hindustan or the integral parts of one another. Today Indians also call Bharat/India as Hindustan. However, this Hindustan means only India. IN A NUTSHELL: The three countries were the integral parts of one another not Pakistan and Bangladesh were the integral parts of India.


Why did the partition of british India cause a refugee crisis?

The partition of British India in 1947 led to the creation of two independent states, India and Pakistan, based on religious lines, with India being predominantly Hindu and Pakistan predominantly Muslim. This division triggered mass migrations, as millions of Hindus and Sikhs moved to India while Muslims relocated to Pakistan, often facing violence and persecution during their journeys. The sudden and chaotic nature of the partition resulted in widespread displacement, creating one of the largest refugee crises in history, as people sought safety and belonging in their new nations. The aftermath left deep scars, with many families separated and communities fractured.

India won its independence most recently from Britain in 1947. India was formly a part of the subcontinent, under the British empire. when the Britisher left they divided the sub-continent into Pakistan and India according to the religious distribution. So the Hindu majority ares were given to India and the Muslim majority areas were given to Pakistan. So Pakistan became the first country in the world who gained independence on the basis of ideology. Israel is now the only second one. Pakistan became an independent country on 14th August, 1947 and India on 15th of August. In 1971 Pakistan then divided again into Bangladesh and the present Pakistan. Kashmir is a disputed territory between he two countries whose affiliation between either of the country has yet to be decided.
