Question 18 • World History

Which event occurred as a result of India’s partition in 1947?

Answer
A
Nehru was assassinated.
B
Citizens began to riot.
C
Muslims and Hindus became more tolerant.
D
Hindus relocated to Pakistan.

Explanation

The 1947 partition divided British India into India and Pakistan, prompting mass movement across the new borders and widespread communal violence. Citizens began to riot, making “Citizens began to riot” the correct choice. Nehru was not assassinated, and partition increased tensions rather than making Hindus and Muslims more tolerant.
