Section 1 of the Indian Independence Act 1947 provided that from "the fifteenth day of August, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, two independent dominions shall be set up in India, to be known respectively as India and Pakistan." India was treated by the United Nations as the successor-state to the former British India. As it was already a member of the United Nations, India continued to hold its seat there and did not apply for a new membership. However, Pakistan was a newly created nation and needed to apply to join. It was admitted as a UN member on 30 September 1947, a few weeks after its independence The British monarch became head of state of the new dominion, with Pakistan sharing a king with the other Commonwealth realms, but the monarch's constitutional roles were delegated to the Governor-General of Pakistan, and most real power resided with the new government headed by Jinnah.

14th August 1947: Partition of India begins with creation of the independent Dominion of Pakistan
The roots of the partition can be traced back to the growing demand for independence from British rule, which had gained momentum in the early 20th century. The Indian National Congress, led by figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, advocated for a united, secular India. In contrast, the All-India Muslim League, under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, pushed for a separate Muslim state, fearing a united India dominated by Hindus.
In 1946, tensions escalated and resulted in widespread violence between Hindus and Muslims. Britain, weakened by World War II and unable to deal with unrest in India, decided to expedite their departure.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through

In 1946, tensions escalated and resulted in widespread violence between Hindus and Muslims. Britain, weakened by World War II and unable to deal with unrest in India, decided to expedite their departure. Lord Louis Mountbatten was appointed to oversee the partition of India into the separate dominions of India and Pakistan. Amidst the tense situation he set a deadline of 15 August 1947.
Sir Cyril Radcliffe, a British lawyer with no experience in India, was given just five weeks to complete the demarcation. The resulting Radcliffe Line divided the provinces of Punjab and Bengal along religious lines, with Pakistan consisting of West Pakistan (modern-day Pakistan) and East Pakistan (modern-day Bangladesh), and gaining its independence on 14 August. India followed the next day.
The announcement of the partition led to mass migrations, as Hindus and Sikhs moved to India, while Muslims migrated to Pakistan. The process was chaotic and marred by violence, with estimates suggesting that between 10 and 15 million people were displaced while hundreds of thousands died. Hostility and suspicion stemming from the partition continues to affect the relationship between India and Pakistan today.

SUMMARY
=======
Pakistan (Bengali: পাকিস্তান অধিরাজ্য pakistan ôdhirajyô; Urdu: مملکتِ پاکستان mumlikāt-ē pākistān), also called the Dominion of Pakistan, was an independent federal dominion in South Asia that was established in 1947 as a result of the Pakistan movement, followed by the simultaneous partition of British India to create a new country called Pakistan. The dominion, which included much of modern-day Pakistan and Bangladesh, was conceived under the two-nation theory as an independent country composed of the Muslim-majority areas of the former British India.
To begin with, it did not include the princely states of Pakistan, which acceded slowly between 1947 and 1948. Dominion status ended in 1956 with the creation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, which was administratively split into West Pakistan and East Pakistan. In 1971 East Pakistan seceded from the union to become Bangladesh.

The roots of the partition can be traced back to the growing demand for independence from British rule, which had gained momentum in the early 20th century. The Indian National Congress, led by figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, advocated for a united, secular India. In contrast, the All-India Muslim League, under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, pushed for a separate Muslim state, fearing a united India dominated by Hindus.
In 1946, tensions escalated and resulted in widespread violence between Hindus and Muslims. Britain, weakened by World War II and unable to deal with unrest in India, decided to expedite their departure. Lord Louis Mountbatten was appointed to oversee the partition of India into the separate dominions of India and Pakistan. Amidst the tense situation he set a deadline of 15 August 1947.
Sir Cyril Radcliffe, a British lawyer with no experience in India, was given just five weeks to complete the demarcation.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Pakistan (Bengali: পাকিস্তান অধিরাজ্য pakistan ôdhirajyô; Urdu: مملکتِ پاکستان mumlikāt-ē pākistān), also called the Dominion of Pakistan, was an independent federal dominion in South Asia that was established in 1947 as a result of the Pakistan movement, followed by the simultaneous partition of British India to create a new country called Pakistan. The dominion, which included much of modern-day Pakistan and Bangladesh, was conceived under the two-nation theory as an independent country composed of the Muslim-majority areas of the former British India.
To begin with, it did not include the princely states of Pakistan, which acceded slowly between 1947 and 1948. Dominion status ended in 1956 with the creation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, which was administratively split into West Pakistan and East Pakistan. In 1971 East Pakistan seceded from the union to become Bangladesh.
The two nations were born at war — which can be traced back to this British strategy.

For nearly 200 years, India was ruled by the British. The large nation was home to three dominant religious groups — Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs. In order to discourage unified Indian campaigns for independence, the British reinforced divisions along religious lines.
By 1947, the British were finally ready to turn India over to Indian rule. But the seeds of discontent had been sowed. And the handover of power would be more bloody than anyone could have imagined.

Section 1 of the Indian Independence Act 1947 provided that from "the fifteenth day of August, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, two independent dominions shall be set up in India, to be known respectively as India and Pakistan." India was treated by the United Nations as the successor-state to the former British India. As it was already a member of the United Nations, India continued to hold its seat there and did not apply for a new membership. However, Pakistan was a newly created nation and needed to apply to join. It was admitted as a UN member on 30 September 1947, a few weeks after its independence The British monarch became head of state of the new dominion, with Pakistan sharing a king with the other Commonwealth realms, but the monarch's constitutional roles were delegated to the Governor-General of Pakistan, and most real power resided with the new government headed by Jinnah.
