Why was India divided into two nations and what were two effects of this division?

India was divided into two nations—India and Pakistan—in 1947 primarily due to religious differences, with Hindus forming the majority in India and Muslims in Pakistan.

Why did India and Pakistan become separate countries?

They separated because there are two big religious groups, Hindus and Muslims who differ significantly based on language, traditions, food, customs and dress.
