PAKISTAN & THE N.W.F.P

 The Partition of India in 1947 was the change of political borders and the division of other assets that accompanied the dissolution of the British Raj in the Indian subcontinent and the creation of two independent dominions in South Asia, India & Pakistan.


The Partition of India split the former British province of Punjab between the Dominion of India and the Dominion of Pakistan. 


The mostly Muslim western part of the province became Pakistan's Punjab province the mostly Hindu and Sikh eastern part became India's East Punjab state.

N.W.F.P

The two main gateways on the North West Frontier are the Khyber and Bolan Passes. 

Since ancient times, the Indian subcontinent has been repeatedly invaded through these northwestern routes. 


With the expansion of the Russian Empire into Central Asia in the twentieth century, stability of the Frontier and control of Afghanistan became cornerstones of defensive strategy for British India.

Much of the Frontier was occupied by Ranjit Singh in the early 19th century, and then taken over by the East India Company when it annexed the Punjab in 1849.


Between 1849 and 1947 the military history of the frontier was a succession of punitive expeditions against offending Pashtun (or Pathan) tribes, punctuated by three wars against Afghanistan. 


Many British officers who went on to distinguished command in the First and Second World Wars learnt their soldiering on the North-West Frontier, which they called the Grim.
