reason behind devision of india I can judge only two reason, one is greed of two leaders nehru and jinah .And weakness of mahatama gandhi whose ideology forced , not to react accordingly.
The ugliest deed in the world history The heart broken deed taken place was very painful and shame to both Sides leaders who helped and conducted the nation to liberate in the name of two religion from British rule and left with no fruits for subjects existing in the land. Now, it is sad to blame any parties. The matter is over and no one can to return or re-join. We are the Indians should unite as one and lead the country on the top of world that nobody dare to take the finger out and point us. Best wishes to all A PROUD2B INDIAN Hamza
As for now India has few hard problems to be considered so lets not think about past (brings only pain)
Partition of our nation was one of the black days in the Indian History and this was due to lack of foresightedness by our then leaders and greed of Jinnah and Jawaharlal Nehru for the power. Moreover, Mahatma Gandhi favored Nehru more as the Prime Minister of free India and this led to the partition of India and this partition has led to many problems that India is still facing since the time of its Independence.
