Answer:

The correct answer is A. The partition of British India in 1947 affected the religious population of South Asia by creating Muslim majorities in what is not Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Explanation:

The partition of India refers to the division of British India into two independent states, Pakistan and India, on August 15th, 1947, in connection with the withdrawal of Britain from their former colony.

The boundaries of the two new countries were set by the United Kingdom, which meant that the new country of Pakistan was given two parts, East and West Pakistan, which were on either side of the "new" India. The division according to the Mountbatten Plan sought to take into account the cultural and religious differences among the people of India.  

Up to the split, considerable tensions between Hindus and Muslims were triggered, and the split led to widespread unrest and large flows of refugees between the new states. It is estimated that up to half a million people died as a result of the unrest and that around 15 million people either moved or fled. The majority of those killed perished in Punjab, where events have been compared to genocide.

The border crossing itself has later led to several wars between India and Pakistan, especially due to Kashmir province, despite a Muslim majority becoming part of India. In 1971, East and West Pakistan were also divided into Bangladesh and present-day Pakistan following a bloody civil war.

galina1969 [7]
Plants that get nutrients from rocks will can cause chemical weathering. Generally there are two types of weathering processes: physical and chemical weathering and they result in the breakdown of rocks, minerals, etc. Plants contribute to both physical and chemical weathering. Plants that grow in fissures and cracks in the rocks, as they grow their roots extend. Over time, the rocks will be broken into smaller fragments. Many such plants also give off chemicals, most commonly humic acid. These acids help in the breakdown of iron and aluminum compounds in the subsurface. Plants also support microbial life forms that help in weathering of soil and minerals. All these process contribute to the weathering of rocks and minerals.

Why do you think it is that many criminals value their dignity over anything else?
d1i1m1o1n [39]
I think its for protection. The streets are dangerous and you can't trust anyone. Having dignity makes those around you respect you and it shows those around you that they can count on you. No one is going to go after someone who is well respected because a) they don't want anyone coming after them for going after someone who has a lot of cred and b) they hope that others will show them the same respect back.
