Solution
The correct option is C Communal violence
In 1947, the British left India by dividing India into two independent nations- Hindu majority India and Muslim majority Pakistan. Across the Indian subcontinent, communities that had coexisted earlier attacked each other. At this time the whole country was divided into two communal groups. Hindu and Sikhs are on one side and Muslims are on the other side. Thus the joy of the country's independence from British rule came mixed with the pain and communal violence of partition.
