Question

What problems were created by the partition of the country?

✓

Answer

The partition of the country caused a severe setback to the Indian economy.

A major portion of India's highly fertile and irrigated land went to Pakistan. This negatively affected the agricultural output.
The loss of fertile areas after partition made India dependent on imports of food grains.
The most important jute-producing areas now became part of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). This caused a lack of raw material for India's jute industry, which suffered a serious setback.
