Question

What was one of the immediate consequences of the partition of India?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: (A) political and religious stability.

The partition was created because of constant conflict between hindu and muslim population in India.

Through the partition, both population from these religions could occupy and form their own government based on their religion, which lead to a political and religious stability in India and the country that is know referred to as Pakistan.

Answer 2

The partition caused millions of refugees to pour across new borders into regions of the two new countries that were totally foreign to them. Both countries faced both ruined lands and economies at the start of their independence. The ideological differences between the Hindu and Muslim populations in colonial India led the British to believe that the two new countries should be divided along religious lines rather than regional ones.
