Were Pakistan and India the same country before? 20

India and Pakistan turned out to be one country. It's India. It was formed as a result of long-term historical development and British colonial rule.

At the time of India's independence, the minority faction in the country was unwilling to accept the rule of the majority Hinduism and proposed partition. It is the place where the majority of the religion believes in the country of Pakistan, which is a halal state. So there was the partition of India and Pakistan.

It turns out that the majority of Indians are in the northwest and southeast. As a result, the territory of the new State of Pakistan was divided into eastern and western parts. The east and west are 1,600 kilometers apart, with India in between.

These are today's Pakistan (West Pakistan) and Bangladesh (East Pakistan).

Such a division of two countries on the basis of religious principles is unprecedented. India and Pakistan are many of the same people, but they hate each other because of their different religious beliefs. And for various reasons, many people who believe in Hinduism stay in Pakistan, and those who believe in *** religion stay in India.

The most difficult issue to be solved over from the partition of India and Pakistan is the question of Kashmir. The rulers of Kashmir believe in Hinduism, while many of the masses believe in *** religion. By the will of the ruler, Kashmir joined India, but many local people demanded to join Pakistan.

India and Pakistan were at war over Kashmir when they were just gaining independence. It was done twice later, but the problem was never resolved.

In 1971, East Pakistan seceded from Pakistan to form Bangladesh. The history of Pakistan being divided into eastern and western parts has officially come to an end.

No, both countries used to belong to British India.

When the United Kingdom allowed India to become independent, the Hindus and the Hindus did not think they could live in peace with each other. So decided to live separately.

British India, on the other hand, was not a country, but a colonial viceroyalty.

India and Pakistan used to be one country, because in the past, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Iran, etc., all belonged to the Mughal Empire.

After World War II, although Britain was the victorious country, the anti-British sentiment in British India was very high, and finally had to propose a divide-and-conquer plan. It was based on national beliefs that British India was divided into the Union of India and Pakistan, and self-government was established respectively.

In August 1947, Britain finally handed over power in India to the Indian National Congress Party and the Pakistan Muslim League, and Britain officially broke away from Indian colonial rule, and on August 14, 1947, Pakistan declared independence, and India also declared independence the day after that day.

Mughal Empire

At the height of the Mughal Empire, its territory included almost the entire South Asian subcontinent and Afghanistan. The Mughal superstructure was Muslim, while the base was Hinduism, and Persian was the language of the court, public affairs, diplomacy, literature, and high society.

After the decline of the Mughal Empire, colonial empires such as the British Empire, the French Colonial Empire, the Dutch Colonial Empire, and the Portuguese Colonial Empire fought for colonies in India, and eventually the British won, making the Mughal Emperor a puppet. In 1858, Queen Victoria of Britain was awarded the title of Empress of India, establishing British India and ending the Mughal dynasty.

Originally one country, India and Pakistan were partitioned in 1947 to form the Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan respectively.

After 1757, Pakistan and India became British colonies, and the British policy of "partition" exacerbated conflict between Muslims and Hindus. After the end of World War II, India once again gained independence from British colonial rule. In June 1947, Mountbatten, the last British Governor-General in India, proposed the "Mountbatten Plan" to divide India into two autonomous provinces, India and Pakistan.

In June 1947, India and Pakistan were partitioned according to the Mountbatten Plan. On August 14 of the same year, Pakistan declared independence and became a Dominion of the British Commonwealth, including the eastern and western parts of Pakistan.

At the time of the partition of India and Pakistan, the question of the ownership of Kashmir was not resolved. In October 1947, a large-scale armed conflict broke out in Kashmir, known as the First Indo-Pakistani War, in which the two sides fought for sovereignty over Kashmir. In December 1947, India brought the Kashmir issue to the UN Security Council.

In December 1971, India took over part of Pakistan-administered Kashmir in the Third Indo-Pakistani War that erupted over the secession of East Pakistan (later Bangladesh) from Pakistan. In July 1972, India and Pakistan signed the Simla Agreement, in which the two sides agreed to respect the Line of Actual Control (LAC) formed after the 1971 ceasefire in Kashmir.

It can be said that it was before, or it can be said that it was not. They used to belong to the Indian region, in fact in ancient India only existed as the name of the region of Siyiyi, and their history is that they were constantly conquered by foreign peoples.

India and Pakistan were originally a country, located in southern Asia, adjacent to China, Burma, Afghanistan, Iran and other countries, and were long-term British colonies, and were partitioned in 1947 to form the Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan respectively. The independence of India and Pakistan has gone through a long process.

After the partition of India and Pakistan in August 1947, there was no harmony, and in 1948, 1965 and 1971, three full-scale wars broke out, due to India's instigation and support for the independence of East Pakistan (present-day Bangladesh), India and Pakistan broke off diplomatic relations in December 1971 and resumed diplomatic relations in July 1976.

In 1998, India and Pakistan successively conducted nuclear tests and a nuclear arms race, and relations between the two countries became sharply strained. In February 1999, Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif signed the Lahore Declaration. However, in April, India and Pakistan test-fired missiles, and in May, fierce clashes broke out between the two countries in Kargil, in Indian-administered Kashmir, and India-Pakistan relations once again tended to deteriorate.

In December, an Indian civilian flight was hijacked, and India's foreign minister accused Pakistan of being involved. In 2000, relations between India and Pakistan were at a stalemate, and at the end of the year the atmosphere eased somewhat. In 2001, India-Pakistan relations were demarcated by the September 11 incident.

In 2002, India-Pakistan relations remained tense and confrontational.

Unless you consider the British Indian colonies to be a country.
