    Analyse the impact of partition of India on Pun jab and Bengal.

    Answer:

    (1) Impact of partition of India on Punjab: Impact of partition was horrible. It destabilized the foundation of mankind. People had to face harrowing experiences. The results of partition were most destructive and bloody in the Punjab. Almost complete displacement of Hindus and Sikhs eastwards into India from west Punjab and or almost all Punjabi - speaking Muslims to Pakistan created untold stories of horror.
    (2) Impact of partition of India on Bengal: In Bengal the overall situation was equally serious and horrible. Here the process of migration was more protracted with people moving across a porous border. However, in Bengal the exchange of population was not near total. Consequently several Bengali Hindus remained in East Pakistan while several Bengali Muslims continued, to remain in West Bengal.
                In East Pakistan Jinnah?s two-nation theory was rejected by the Bengali Muslims.
