Answer: Hopefully this helps

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