Bindeshwar Pathak: India's 'Toilet Man' who made urinating safely a reality
India is mourning campaigner and social reformer Bindeshwar Pathak who died on Tuesday, aged 80.
- Dividing the two countries was a very tough job because the division was done on the basis of religious majority and a fair decision had to be made while drawing a boundary between the two countries.
- The provinces of Sindh and Baluchistan with an overwhelming majority of Muslims were granted to Pakistan.
- However, the provinces of Punjab and Bengal only had a marginal majority of Muslims. Punjab had 55.7% of Muslims and Bengal had 54.4% of Muslims.
- So it was decided to cut through these provinces and give portions to both countries.
