Question

Because Muslims feared Hindu domination after the British ceded control of India, which political event occurred?

1) The Partition of India
2) The Indian Rebellion of 1857
3) The Quit India Movement
4) The Swadeshi Movement

Answer 1

The political event that occurred due to Muslim fears of Hindu domination after British rule was the Partition of India, leading to the creation of independent Pakistan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Muslims feared Hindu domination after the British ceded control of India, the political event that occurred was the Partition of India. When India achieved independence at midnight on August 15, 1947, the Muslim-majority region of Pakistan also became an independent nation.

This decision was driven by concerns among Muslims about being a minority in a Hindu-majority India, and the desire for a separate Muslim nation led to the formation of Pakistan, which at the time included both present-day Pakistan and Bangladesh. The formation of these separate states was intended to address religious divisions and to prevent the feared Hindu domination over Muslims, but it also led to massive displacement and violence.
