The partition caused millions of refugees to pour across new borders into regions of the two new countries that were totally foreign to them. Both countries faced both ruined lands and economies at the start of their independence. The ideological differences between the Hindu and Muslim populations in colonial India led the British to believe that the two new countries should be divided along religious lines rather than regional ones.
