INDIA’S INDEPENDENCE

HINDU AND MUSLIM DIFFERENCES Muhammad Ali Jinnah ( ) and the Muslim League, feared a Hindu-majority India would ignore Muslim concerns. He worked in Indian National Congress until 1920 when they adopted Gandhi’s satyagraha campaign. Jinnah pressed for an independent territory for South Asia’s religious minority – Muslims. (Pakistan,“land of the pure”)

INDIAN INDEPENDENCE ACT OF 1947 Date of Independence: August 15 th, 1947 This act was the implementation of the June 3 rd Plan or the Mountbatten Plan Mountbatten was the last viceroy Partition plan was set in place despite the views against it from Mountbatten and Gandhi

1947 PARTITION OF INDIA 12 million+ Muslims, Sikhs, and Hindus fled their homes to join a majority-religion region or state violence between the Hindus and Muslims caused hundreds of thousands of deaths Bitter memories remain from these hardships

POST INDEPENDENCE…(AUGUST 1947) India as a Parliamentary democracy & federal state is headed up by Jawarhalal Nehru (Gandhi is assassinated in January 1948); Pakistan becomes a Muslim state headed by former Muslim League leader Muhammad Jinnah; it too is a Parliamentary democracy but has struggled to remain secular; in after a brief civil war in 1971 East Pakistan becomes the Parliamentary democracy of Bangladesh.
