This primary source is the Indian Independence Bill that the British passed in order to give India
its independence in 1947. Beginning with the history of British presence in the Indian colonies, it
explains why the British wanted to stay in India - due to its many riches and trade benefits. As
time went on, though, the Indian people protested against the British people ruling over their
homeland, resulting in this independence bill. It was a very useful document as it explains how
some states refused to become a part of the newly formed India and Pakistan, which can be used

in detail that the Sikhs were carrying rifles and attacked the train full of Muslim refugees. The
Muslims also killed a train full of Hindu refugees for revenge. It is very useful, explaining the

India or Pakistan, but Kashmir was the only outlier. The two countries were not able to solve
these disputes in 1947, so they are still continuing to this day (Territorial Disputes).
