Answer 1

Hint:It was amended on 18 July ,1947. This act separated the British India into two dominion countries India and Pakistan.

Complete answer:
We will discuss the Indian Independence Act. The British captured India and ruled over a hundred years. Several Indian patriots protested against the British for the independence of India. British used their strategy to control the patriots and end their protests. British had a strong belief in their strategy “Divide and rule “which helped them to rule. The Indian Independence Act also had origin from this strategy.
Let us discuss the “Divide and rule “strategy. Divide and rule is a political and sociology strategy which is the gaining and maintaining the power by dividing a heavy concentrated power into small fragments which do not have more power on small size than the higher concentrated one. British used this technique to counter the protests led by Indian patriots.
How did the policy of “Divide and rule “helps British to control the protest? This question will arise in your mind. This Independence Act separated the unity of Hindu and Muslims. This Indian Independence Act is also called Mountbatten act. There was heavy violence where people feared and Muslims fled to Pakistan from India and Hindus fled from Pakistan to India. This reduced the unity between Hindus and Muslims.There were two provinces in Pakistan, East and West Pakistan. As per the Act of Indian Independence, the boundaries of East Bengal, west Bengal and Assam would be determined by the border commission. They provided detailed boundaries for both nations.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note:Though British freed India, this act separated Muslims from Hindus. Before this act, Hindus and Muslims were lived like brothers. With this act, clashes between two countries are occurring till now.
