Abstract

This research article explores the role of British colonialism in the partition of India in 1947. Drawing on a comprehensive review of existing scholarship on the topic, as well as primary source documents, the article provides a historical context of British colonial policies and practices in India that contributed to the partition. Using an analytical framework to analyze the impact of British colonialism, the article argues that the partition of India was largely a result of British colonial policies that exacerbated religious, ethnic, and regional tensions within the Indian society. The article also examines the socioeconomic and political effects of the partition and its long-lasting impact on regional conflicts and tensions. This study contributes to a better understanding of the partition of India and provides implications for future research.
