The correct response is:
It created Muslim majorities in what is now Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The partition of British India in 1947 resulted in the establishment of Pakistan as a separate nation for Muslims, while India remained a secular state with a Hindu majority. Bangladesh later became an independent country in 1971 after separating from Pakistan.
