History Of Punjab: Aspect of history regarding the Punjab region in the northwest of the Indian subcontinent
In 1947, the Punjab Province of British Raj was divided along religious lines into West Punjab and East Punjab.
The western part was given to Pakistan while the eastern part to India. This led to massive rioting as both sides committed atrocities against fleeing refugees. This due to the British East India Company during 20th centuries which caused hierarchies between Hindu, Muslim and Sikhs.
