Step-by-step explanation:

In August 1947, after three hundred years of British rule, India gained its independence. The British withdrawal from India was hasty and improvised, resulting in the partition of the subcontinent into two independent nations: Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan. The partition led to widespread religious violence and the displacement of millions of people. The Kashmir region remains disputed territory between India and Pakistan. The British Raj, a period of direct British rule, lasted from 1858 until independence in 1947.
