Why did large numbers of Hindus and Muslims

migrate immediately after India gained its
independence?
(1) Many jobs were being outsourced overseas.
(2) The government offered housing incentives
in newly developed areas.
(3) Religious pilgrimages to neighboring countries
were required based on their beliefs.
(4) The subcontinent was divided into countries
based primarily on the location of religious
majorities.
