Whose Vice President was Chester A. Arthur?

India get independence from Britain, but its independence was before it could solve many complex problems. Suddenly, Hindus living in areas declared as part of Pakistan suffered some form of religious persecution. Meanwhile, Muslims were found to be living in Indian territory, facing a similar dilemma.
Violence has taken place as people have to disassociate themselves from their homes and migrate to a new country. India's civil services have been severely damaged - the British army has left, and the Indian police and army are suddenly divided between New India and Pakistan. Even Gandhi did not escape violence; He was assassinated just a few months after India's independence.
The new Prime Minister, Nehru, faced the task of uniting the country of many cultures and languages and creating a viable economy for the larger population. India suffers from a number of unresolved issues in partition. For example, Sikh nationalists wanted their own state, and violence spread throughout the decade as the group fought for it.
The struggle between Pakistan and India over the control of Kashmir continues and continues today. Pakistan too had problems. East Pakistan has separated both the distance and the culture from West Pakistan. East Pakistan fought for independence. In the end, East Pakistan won its independence and settled into Bangladesh, a small country that faces corrupt governments, natural disasters and an unstable economy.
