The Radcliffe Line is the demarcation line that divided British India into two independent dominions, India and Pakistan, during the partition in 1947. Named after Sir Cyril Radcliffe, who chaired the boundary commission, the line aimed to separate Hindu-majority areas from Muslim-majority areas. Its establishment led to significant demographic shifts and widespread communal violence, resulting in one of the largest mass migrations in history. The line remains a contentious issue in India-Pakistan relations.
