forced political migration

The partition of India in 1947 resulted in a forced political migration as millions of individuals were displaced due to the division of the country into India and Pakistan based on religious lines. The religious tensions and violence that followed the partition led to mass migrations of people from one country to the other, resulting in the displacement of millions.
