After the British divided their Indian Empire into the independent countries of India and Pakistan, millions fled their homes and there was terrible violence between Hindus and Muslims. The partition led to one of the largest mass migrations in history, with approximately 10-15 million people crossing borders. This migration was accompanied by widespread communal riots, resulting in significant loss of life and displacement as communal tensions escalated between the two newly formed nations.
