💨 Abstract

The 1947 partition of India, overseen by Cyril Radcliffe, led to history's largest forced migration with up to 2 million deaths. British strategic interests played a significant role, with Pakistan created as a buffer against Soviet influence and to maintain regional military cooperation. The British intelligence agencies also influenced the partition through covert activities, shaping Pakistan's security framework and maintaining ties with its military.
