Answer:

The "partition" of India in 1947 means the creation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Hindu-dominated Union of India. This happens on August 15,1947. This happens because they wanted to create their own identity not any other countries. They wanted to free their country from British territory.

Wish this helps you!!!!!!
