In 1947, the British divided-up the Indian Empire into two nations. Pakistan, which was meant to be a homeland for Muslims living in the Indian Empire and the Union of India which was meant to be a homeland for Hindu's living in the Empire. This was called the partition of India.

The partition of India was the decision on the part of British colonial governments to give independence to India and Pakistan. The partition, in effect, created these nations.
