As a result, independence and the process of dividing the former British colony into India and Pakistan brought a lot of suffering to the inhabitants of the new states. From 7 to 8 million people lost their homeland in India and fled to Pakistan during the chaos reigning around.

About the same number emigrated in the opposite direction. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed during the conflict unleashed by religious fanatics.

After the entry into force of the Law on the Independence of India, the priorities of the new government were the Indianization of the administrative apparatus and the armed forces, work on the preparation of a new constitution and the development of a system of relations with the subjects of the federation.
