Impact of Partition on India and Palestine

The partition of India and Palestine had significant consequences, including mass movements of people, chaos, riots, and violence. The partition resulted in the creation of India and Pakistan, leading to the migration of millions of Muslims to West Punjab in Pakistan and Hindus/Sikhs to East Punjab in India. The religious violence in regions like Calcutta and the Kashmir dispute continue to shape perspectives on partition. Similarly, in Palestine, the creation of Israel following UN involvement led to conflicting claims and ensuing conflicts between Jews and Palestinians over the same land.
