PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ITS DUE IN TWO DAYS: Identify and explain three past or current consequences of the Partitioning of India in 1947. Your discussion should include each of the following characteristics and be at least ½ page in length (250 words):
Economic impacts
Social impacts
Political impacts

The first consequence that the partition of India had was the relocation of between 14-16 million people. Hindu and Sikhs who lived in the area that is now Pakistan moved to the territory of India, while Muslims in Indian territory followed the opposite route. This had an impact not only on the lives of the migrants, but also on the culture of the new nations.

Another effect was that the population of Pakistan was extremely homogeneous in terms of religious identity. Less than 2% of its population was not Muslim by 1951. In turn, this complicated the political situation of Muslims in India.

Finally, a consequence of the partition is the fact that there are still disputed territories between the two nations. One of this is the region of Kashmir, which interests both nations mainly because of its economic significance.
