The following difficulties are associated with Partition of India in 1947:
(i) There was no single belt of Muslim majority areas in British India.

(ii)Not all Muslim majority areas wanted to be in Pakistan. Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan or Frontier Gandhi, leader of the North West Frontier Province staunchly opposed to the two-nation theory.

(iii)Two of the Muslim majority provinces of British India Punjab and Bengal had very large areas where non-Muslims were in majority.

(iv) The fourth problem was related to ‘minorities’ on both sides of the border. They were undesirable aliens in their own home, in the land where they and their ancestors had lived for centuries. The minorities on both sides of the border were left with no choice except to leave their homes, often at a few hour’s notice.
