Answer 2

Pakistan is the Muslim part of India that was separated.

Step-by-step explanation:

India as a whole, occupyed the entire territory of the Indian subcontinent. After the British colonizers decided to grant independence to the region this changed. The British took into consideration the religious situation in the subcontinent, so thinking that they would stop internal conflict and instability in the region, they decided to divide India into India and Pakistan (West and East).

While the idea was with the right intent, in practice it did not go as planned. Hindu-dominated India and Muslim-dominated Pakistan became immediately very violent toward each other. Millions of people were displaced, ended up dead, or persecuted, all on the basis of religion and displeasure of the division. Later, Pakistan divided into two countries, which took a war to be achieved, and the country that emerged from it was Bangladesh.
