Explanation:

The partition of India refers to the division of British India into two separate nations: India and Pakistan. It occurred in 1947, following the end of British colonial rule in the Indian subcontinent. The partition was primarily based on religious lines, with the creation of a separate Muslim-majority state, Pakistan, to address the demands of the Muslim League for a separate homeland
Even after the large-scale migration of Muslims to the newly created Pakistan, the Muslim population in India accounted for 12 percent of the total population in 1951.
