On this day, 76 years ago, a man who never visited India drew Radcliffe Line that divided India and Pakistan 
The Radcliffe Line demarcated the formal border between India and Pakistan during the partition of British India in 1947. It was drawn by British lawyer, Sir Cyril Radcliffe, based on religious demographics and geographical factors in just five weeks. The hastily drawn borders led to mass migration, violence, and the displacement of millions of people, resulting in one of the largest and most tragic human migrations in history. The partition and the Radcliffe Line's impact on the Indian subcontinent were profound and far-reaching, with significant social, political, economic, and human consequences.
