Mapa del Punjab, 1947

La Partición de la India condujo a la creación el 14 de agosto de 1947 y el 15 de agosto de 1947, respectivamente, de dos estados soberanos, como resultado del otorgamiento de la independencia a India británica por el Reino Unido: el Dominio de Pakistán (posteriormente República Islámica de Pakistán); y la Unión de la India (posteriormente República de la India). La 'partición' se refiere a la división de la provincia de Bengala de la India británica en la provincia pakistaní de Bengala oriental (posteriormente Pakistán del este, hoy Bangladesh) y la provincia india de Bengala occidental, como también la partición en forma similar de la región de Punjab de la India británica en la provincia de Punjab de West Pakistan y la provincia (estado) india de Punjab, además de la división del British Indian Army, el Indian Civil Service y otros servicios administrativos, los ferrocarriles, el tesoro central y otros bienes.
