Explanation:

Partition of India was the outcome of the 'Two Nation Theory' advanced by Muslim League. According to the ‘two-nation theory’ advanced by the Muslim League, India consisted of not one but two ‘people’, Hindus and Muslims. That is why it demanded Pakistan, a separate country for Muslims. This theory fueled the demand for a separate Muslim-majority state.

In the transformative moment between the 14th and 15th of August 1947, India achieved its long-awaited independence. It was at the stroke of midnight when the nation's freedom was realized, marking a historic milestone in its journey. On this occasion, Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, addressed a special session of the Constituent Assembly. It was during this event that Nehru delivered his iconic speech, commonly known as the "Tryst with Destiny".

Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, widely known as the 'Frontier Gandhi', strongly opposed the concept of a separate nation based on religious lines. He was the undisputed leader of the North Western Frontier Province and staunchly opposed to the two-nation theory.

Amrita Pritam was a prominent Punjabi poet and fiction writer. She was the recipient of the Sahitya Akademi Award (for Kagaz Te Canvas), Padma Shree, & Jnanapeeth Award (for her outstanding contributions to literature). After Partition she made Delhi her second home. She actively wrote & edited ‘Nagmani’ a Punjabi monthly magazine.
