Answer
Two reasons why India was partitioned in 1947 are given below:
- The Muslim League under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, strongly demanded a separate nation for Muslims.
- Efforts like the Cabinet Mission Plan (1946) failed due to irreconcilable differences between the Congress and the Muslim League regarding power-sharing and the structure of the future Indian government. The League insisted on partition as the only solution.
