What happened at the Independence of India
After decades of nationalist struggle led by figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Britain enacted the Indian Independence Act 1947, ending nearly two centuries of colonial rule over the subcontinent. At midnight on August 15, 1947, British India was partitioned into two independent dominions, India and Pakistan, dividing regions along religious lines. The transition was accompanied by massive population movements and communal violence, resulting in significant loss of life and displacement of millions of people. Jawaharlal Nehru became India's first prime minister, delivering his famous "Tryst with Destiny" speech.
