During the independence process, the Indian subcontinent was divided in two: India, with a Hindu majority, and Pakistan, with a Muslim majority. The partition led to the migration of millions of people and to widespread communal violence. India's independence is considered an important stage in the process of the dissolution of colonialism in the 20th century.
