The Radcliffe Line is the international border between India and Pakistan. This border was established in 1947, during the partition of India, when British India was divided into the two separate nations of India and Pakistan. Sir Cyril Radcliffe, a British lawyer, was tasked with drawing the boundary line that would divide the regions with a Muslim majority into Pakistan, and those with a Hindu majority into India. The Radcliffe Line is approximately 2,310 kilometers long and stretches from the Line of Control in the north, to the Indian state of Gujarat in the south. It is an important boundary that represents the partition of India and has significant historical and political significance.
