6. What significant event is described as a "violent separation "? a. The independence of India b. The partition of India c. The drawing of the border d. The establishment of Sikhism

The correct answer is b. The partition of India.<br /><br />The partition of India refers to the division of the Indian subcontinent into two separate states, India and Pakistan, in 1947. This event was marked by widespread violence, communal riots, and mass migrations as people moved across borders to join their respective religious communities. The partition is often described as a "violent separation" due to the significant loss of life, displacement of millions, and the deep-rooted animosity that arose from the division.
