The correct response is:
It created Muslim majorities in what is now Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The partition of British India in 1947 led to the establishment of two separate nations: India, which had a Hindu majority population, and Pakistan, which was created as a homeland for Muslims and predominantly had a Muslim majority. Later, East Pakistan became Bangladesh in 1971.
