The purpose of 1947 partition was so that the muslims can live in a Muslim state with their fellow muslim brethren in peace and happiness. While also the hindus can live in their state with their fellow Hindu brethren in peace and happiness. Partition promised the Muslims a state of their own and the Hindus a state of their own. Most of the hindus that were living in Pakistan and Bangladesh had to all come running into India otherwise they would have been killed. Yet India has allowed the world's second largest muslim population (even though they are only 12% of the Indian population) to live there. My first question is: If the purpose of partition was so that the Muslims could leave India and go and live in a Muslim country, why does India still have the world's second largest Muslim population ??? My second question is: Did the Hindus actually gain anything from partition? P.S. I love everyone and I don't mean to offend anyone with this question. Look, I only want serious, intelligent and mature answers. If you are not interested in the question or if you think the question is irrelevant, please don't bother to answer. Because I don't want to read any childish rubbish. Once again, I want to reiterate that I do NOT wish to offend anyone with this question.
