in 1946 there was no Pakistan. India was from the afghan borders to the Burma borders. I suggest u research from that as a starting point. along the way, u will learn the circumstances that led to the creation of Pakistan as an Islamic state, later led to a few wars, later led to the creation of Bangladesh (formerly called East Pakistan). And sure, if u research well enuff, u will realize the history of the Kashmir dispute, and the significance of that piece of land.

What percentage of Pakistan was non-Muslim when it was founded? Here is the Wikipedia article on the partition of India in 1947. en.wikipedia.org Note that an estimated 14.5 million people crossed the borders in the ensuing exchange of populations. The corresponding number in the Palestinian Arab/Jews of Muslim lands exchange of population is about 1.5 million (about 800,000 Jews, about 700,000 Arabs). Furthermore, none of the descendants of the Indian/Pakistani refugees of 1947 are called "refugees" today. None of them live in "refugee camps."
