Torn apart. Partition triggered riots, mass casualties, and a colossal wave of migration. Millions of people moved to what they hoped would be safer territory, with Muslims heading towards Pakistan, and Hindus and Sikhs in the direction of India.

One of the immediate consequences of the partition of India was the mass migration of Muslims and Hindus. Explanation: The partition of India was the partition of the British Raj, which resulted in the creation of the sovereign States of Pakistan and India on August 15, 1947.

By 1947, the separation was effected, causing mass migration of Muslims to Pakistan, and Hindus and Sikhs towards India. Massive riots and killing broke out between Hindus and Muslims all across India, especially in Punjab.

The immediate effect of the partition was the emergence of shortages both in India and Pakistan. While there was food shortage in India, there was consumer goods shortage in Pakistan. There was paucity of mineral resources in Pakistan but a deficiency of agricultural raw-materials in India.

The two self-governing countries of India and Pakistan legally came into existence at midnight on 15 August 1947. The partition displaced between 10 and 20 million people along religious lines, creating overwhelming refugee crises in the newly constituted dominions.

The Indian agriculture sector was severely affected by partition. The effects of partition on agriculture were: * The partition of the country leads to a shortage of food grains. * Only 68% cotton-producing area came to India’s share, while more than 20% jute producing area became part of Pakistan.

The main cause of food shortage in India after partition was that the food surplus areas of West Punjab and Sindh went to Pakistan. In this stage India’s birth rate as well as death rates were very high counter balancing each other and thereby keeping the growth rate of population to be low.

Jute industry

The cotton mill industry in India had 9 million spindles in the 1930s, which placed India fifth globally in terms of the number of spindles (Table 8.1). The Indian jute mill industry was the largest in the world in terms of the amount of raw jute consumed for production at the end of the 19th century.

Decline of Indian handicrafts resulted in massive unemployment and artisans were forced to take up agriculture for their livelihood this increased the burden of population in agriculture sector. The Indian made goods could not stand the foreign competition machine made cheap goods.

The British took thriving industries — like textiles, shipbuilding, and steel — and destroyed them through violence, taxes, import tariffs, and imposing their exports and products on the back of the Indian consumer. In addition to decimating the economy, the British inflicted massive suffering on the Indian people.
