History

Answer:

The correct answer is <em>C) the creation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Hindu majority Union of India</em>

Explanation:

The 'Partition' of India took place in 1947 when the colony of 'British India' was granted freedom and two new countries were established. India came into being as a Hindu majority but a secular government with its capital in Delhi.

Pakistan was established as a Muslim republic with a capital in Karachi. The leaders of both the new countries actually began their political careers together. Both Jinnah and Gandhi were part of the Indian National Congress, a political party fighting for political freedoms against the British.

However, disagreements quickly arose between the minority Muslim members of the party and the majority Hindus. The differences eventually resulted in the development of the All India Muslim League which campaigned for the need for a separate Muslim country.

At which point do you think civil war might have been adverted?
Cerrena [4.2K]
No one, not even he could have averted the war without a historical wrong that could no longer be justified in a democracy - the continuation of legal human bondage in the United States.   But to answer the question.  Yes, I think it was very possible that no guns had to fire, and it would have been to me a revolting development.
