उत्तर

Lakhs of refugees left their ancestral homes during and after the Partition of India in 1947 due to:

  1. Widespread communal violence between Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs.
  2. Fear for life, property, and safety in the newly created dominions of India and Pakistan.
  3. Religious persecution and insecurity in areas where they became minorities overnight.
  4. The drawing of new borders, which divided families and communities, forced people to migrate to the country that matched their religion.

This resulted in one of the largest mass migrations in human history, with millions crossing borders in both directions.
