why did the partition of india lead to mass migration

The movement for Independence in India began in 1857, Mahatma Gandhi led the movement from the 1920s inspiring the masses with his beliefs in civil rights and non-violence.

In 1942, as Britain was fighting a war with Nazi Germany, the Indian National Congress launched the ‘Quit India’ movement, and Britain promised to grant India independence after the war.

At midnight on August 14, 1947, the first prime minister of independent India, Jawaharlal Nehru, gave a speech hailing the country’s decades-long non-violent campaign against British rule.

He said that India would awaken to life and freedom and that India was stepping out from old to new.

Unfortunately, the reality of partition and the mass migration that came with it was nothing like they had imagined, millions of Muslims were living in India and millions of Hindu and Sikhs found themselves in the land of the newly-created Pakistan and they would have to move.

As the country was split divided by religion, Muslims moved into the new land of Pakistan and Hindu and Sikhs to India.

The need for a partition of the new country came about as Hindus and Muslims in India were deeply divided and unwilling to coexist in the same nation.

This then led to mass migration
