Answer 2

Answer:

b. two new nations - a Hindu India and a Muslim Pakistan

Explanation:

The decolonization of India also meant partition of India. Instead of being granted independence and be one country, the Indian subcontinent got divided into two nations initially, India and Pakistan, and later a third one, Bangladesh. The division was made on religious basis and to avoid internal conflicts, so the Muslims were in a separate country, and the Hindus in separate country. The things didn't worked pout as planned though, and immediately lot of conflicts started between the two countries, and the most affected were the people that got into one of those countries but were not part of the dominant religion, with millions of people being killed, injured, dislocated.
