The British partition of India in 1947 led to one of the largest mass migrations in history, displacing an estimated 15 million people. The division of British India into India and Pakistan resulted in widespread communal violence, which caused significant loss of life and property. While exact figures vary, it is estimated that around 1-2 million people may have died, and millions more lost their homes and livelihoods amidst the chaos.
