Large numbers of Muslims and Hindus were forced to migrate when borders were drawn. East Pakistan, with its large Muslim majority, became Bangladesh. Although the northern region of India was predominantly Muslim, Kashmir remains part of India, not Pakistan. The Sikhs were largely left out of nation-building, although they occupy the Punjab region in northeast India.

Today, this has led to dense concentrations of Muslims in northern India – especially in the contentious Kashmir region.
