what happened to India After Independence

Problems that surfaced after Independence:

a. Partition of the country brought about most tragic, abrupt transfer of population. The country witnessed worst communal riots, as in the name of religion majority community on either side of the border attacked minorities.Lakhs of Hindus, Sikhs in the areas which were to be part of Pakistan and Muslims in Punjab, Calcutta, Delhi and other areas found themselves trapped, compelled to leave their ancestors home.

b. There was a problem of Princely states that surfaced after the Independence. The British had left the Princely rulers to decide their fate of merging either Pakistan or India to them, which appeared to be the colossal task.

c. Problem of bringing about economic development as the country was left in a condition of abject poverty due to colonial policies.

d. Deciding on the political future of the country, drafting consitution, deciding on the political insititutions also emerged as a challenge.
