• The task of dividing thetwo
nations was assigned to Sir
Cyril Radcliffe, a lawyerwho
hadneverbeen to India
before and knew nothing of
its history, society or
traditions. Radcliffe drewup
his maps in forty days,
dividing provinces, districts,
villages,homes andhearts—

to Britain, neverto return to
India. ‘The British Empire did
not decline,it simply fell’, -
