India was partitioned in 1947 primarily due to religious tensions between Hindus and Muslims, exacerbated by the demand for a separate Muslim state by the All-India Muslim League, led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The British colonial administration sought to address these communal divisions and manage the struggle for independence, ultimately leading to the creation of two independent nations: India and Pakistan. The partition aimed to provide a homeland for Muslims in Pakistan while maintaining a secular state in India, but it resulted in widespread violence and mass migrations.
