follow :

Thus it was decided that what was till then known as ‘India’ would be
divided into two countries, ‘India’ and ‘Pakistan’. Such a division was not
only very painful, but also very difficult to decide and to implement. It

the territory of Pakistan. The rest was to stay with India. The idea might
appear simple, but it presented all kinds of difficulties.

(a) Why did the partition of India in 1947 prove to be very painful ?

partition.

(c) What would have been India’s position in the world, had there
been no partition of India ? 1+2+2=5
