Question:

How many year it took to complete division of India?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Britishers started a company named East India Company.
Captured Maysoor in 1757.
Captured complete India in 1857.
Freedom movement started by Muslims and Hindus since then, Sikhs remained with British.
Struggle remained together till 1906.
Muslim League founded in Dhaka in 1906.
Struggle parted and both Muslims and Hindus tried to get their own interests.
Muslim passed Lahore Resolution (Later Pakistan Resolution) on 23 March 1940.
British Parliament passed Bill to Divide India into 2 parts on 3 Jun 1947.
Pakistan came into being on 14 Aug 1947 and India on 15 Aug 1947.
So at a stretch it took 90 years practically to divide India.
