Answer:

Tensions between Hindus and Muslims

Step-by-step explanation:

There was widespread communal riots in India between Hindus and Muslim and these were major factor the partition of India. While major arm forces still in control of Britishers, India was witnessing a major turmoil. The demand of Pakistan was at its peak, the call of Direct Action Day by Muslim League let to riots in Bengal. To avenge the killing of Hindus brothers, riots followed in Uttar Pradesh to seek revenge. Alternative other than partition could not be found.
