- Pakistan and India were formed out of the division of British India along communal lines. All of a person's immovable possessions had to be left behind and they had to cross to the other side. There were millions of displaced individuals, and the refugee camps were packed to capacity. Unfortunately, the British Indian subcontinent was partitioned into two nations—India and Pakistan. While we in India commemorate Independence Day on August 15, Pakistan has decided to observe Independence Day on today's date, August 14. The reason this day is so significant is that it was on this date in 1947 that India attained independence from British rule. British India was partitioned into India and Pakistan in 1947. There were widespread murders, rapes, and cruelty. While the Dominion of Pakistan became the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Dominion of India became the Republic of India. Pakistan's situation was different from India's, which made the decision to become a secular nation. While independence succeeded in bringing happiness, the partition brought grief. - The Indian Independence Act of 1947, which implemented the partition, brought an end to the British Raj. On August 14, 1947, Pakistan attained independence, while India did so one day later. New Delhi: On August 15, India, one of the largest democracies in the world, will celebrate its 75th Independence Day. To commemorate this momentous day, the Indian government has organised a number of events and activities. - The division of India and Pakistan was done on communal lines.
