When the British finally left India, the people weren’t sure how to rule themselves. The partition of India was known as the world’s biggest migration, where over 1 million people migrated from India to Pakistan. They were promised new homeland from the British. In 1947 the border between India and Pakistan became a river of blood because of rioting. Over ten million people travelled on foot, trains, and carts. In the summer of 1947, millions of people were slaughtered on both sides of the religious rioting.
