The year 1947 was the year of one of the largest, most abrupt, unplanned and tragic transfer of population which human history has known.
- There were killings and atrocities on both sides of the border. Cities such as Lahore, Amritsar and Kolkata (Calcutta) became divided into 'communal zones'. Muslims would avoid going into an area where mainly Hindus or Sikhs lived and vice versa.
- Minorities on both sides of the border fled their home and often secured temporary shelter in 'refugee camps'. They travelled to the other side of the new border by all sorts of means, often by foot. Even during this journey, they were often attacked, killed or raped. Thousands of women were abducted on both sides of the border. Often women were killed by their own family members to preserve the 'family honour'. Many children were separated from their parents.
- People who managed to cross the border did not have a place they could call home. For lakhs of these 'refugees', the country's freedom meant life in 'refugee camps' for months and sometimes for years.
- Partition was not merely a division of properties, liabilities and assets, or a political division of the country and the administrative apparatus. Also divided were things such as tables, chairs, typewriters, paper-clips and books.
- Even after large-scale migration of Muslims to the newly created Pakistan, the Muslim population in India accounted for 12% of the total population in 1951. The Partition had already created severe conflict between the two communities.
Above all, it was a violent separation of communities who had hitherto lived together as neighbours for centuries.

- Sustained democratic freedom struggles in India were prevalent, and even among other newly independent states in the world after colonization.
- The newly independent India faced various inside problems like for example, religious extremism, casteism, naxalism, terrorist activity and secessionist sectarian violence in the regions or states.
- On top of that India faced a threat of overtaking because of its weak and vulnerable state after independence.
- India faced tampering of it's independence and democracy especially by larger and more powerful nations.

Heterogenization represents a process which leads to a more inwardly appearing world due to the intensification of flows across cultures (Appadurai, 1996). Hence, local cultures experience continuous transformation and reinvention due to the influence of global factors and forces.

Factors led to the formation of European union:
The second world war had exhausted the Europe with industries in ruins and defence being weak. A single country wouldn’t have survived the newly started cold war and the countries came together to address the same and formed ECSC (European Coal and Steel Community). It later evolved into the EU.
- Political factors: The European Union is set up with the aim of ending the frequent and bloody wars between neighbors, which culminated in the Second World War. With communism and dictatorship on the rise, EU wanted to promote democracy, freedom, human dignity, Rule of law and Human rights.
- Economic factor: The world war had destroyed the economy of Europe and the countries came together to ease the trade and to be more competitive in the global marketplace. At the same time, it must balance the needs of its independent fiscal and political members.
- Handling common global issues: like terrorism, migration issue and so on which was gaining on the circumstances. The Maastricht treaty broadened the EU’s scope, to include both economic and social issues – like education, public health, technological development, and environmental protection, to name a few.
- Safeguard the culture and respect its rich cultural and linguistic diversity which was under threat after the world war and later during cold war.
