India became two countries after independence in 1947 primarily due to religious and political tensions between Hindus and Muslims. The demand for a separate Muslim state, led by the All-India Muslim League under Muhammad Ali Jinnah, culminated in the creation of Pakistan as a separate nation for Muslims. The division was driven by fears of minority oppression and the desire for self-determination, leading to the partition of British India into India and Pakistan. This division resulted in significant communal violence and mass migrations.
