Burma, although not regarded as a part of India, was nonetheless part of the wider India under British Empire.
In 1947, the British divided-up the Indian Empire into two nations. Pakistan, which was meant to be a homeland for Muslims living in the Indian Empire and the Union of India which was meant to be a homeland for Hindu's living in the Empire. This was called the partition of India.

YES!!! India is part of the British Commonwealth. Other large nations that are members of the British Commonwealth are Republic of South Africa.( formerly Union of South Africa), Australia, New Zealand , Canada. There are many smaller nations that are members of the British Commonwealth, and The U.K. still still has a few very small colonies. One nation is a late entrant intyo the British Commonwealth, but was formrtly a Portugese Colony, it is 'Mozambique'. Two notable nations that are NOT members of the British Commonwealth, but are English speaking as the official language are the U.S.A. and the Republic of Ireland.
India and Pakistan were formed from British India in 1947.
the British decided to divide India into two nations- Muslim Pakistan and Hindu-dominated, India
India and Pakistan. Eastern Pakistan was invaded by India in 1971, the end result being the creation of Bangladesh.
India remained a dominion of the British Crown until August 15, 1947, when it gained independence. This marked the end of British colonial rule, which had lasted for nearly two centuries. The country was subsequently partitioned into two independent nations, India and Pakistan.
The two nation theory was separating British India into two nations. The Moslem area would become Pakistan and the Hindu area would stay India.
The dividing of India into two nations is referred to as 'Partition.'
