when was Indian punjab paritioned?

The partition of Indian Punjab occurred in 1947, coinciding with the broader partition of British India into two independent dominions, India and Pakistan. The partition was a result of religious and political tensions, leading to significant migration and violence as people moved across the newly drawn borders based on their religious identities. The division of Punjab was formalized on August 15, 1947, when India and Pakistan gained independence. The partition led to widespread communal riots and the displacement of millions of people.
