A Day: India v. Pakistan

Hey everyone! Today we discussed how British imperialism eventually led to Indian independence in August of 1947. With the help of Gandhi's idea of civil disobedience, many Indians began to embrace resisting the British through peaceful means. When the British finally released India from imperialism, conflict intensified between the Hindus and the Muslims of the area. Therefore, before relinquishing control, the British government divided India up into 2 territories (the 2nd being Pakistan, which consisted mostly of Muslims). Conflicts still exist between the two countries.

Your homework is to research the current events relating to this topic. What is the relationship between India and Pakistan today? How do they feel about each other? Is there still armed conflict between the two countries?

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Have a great day!
