In February, Fritain announced its intention of leaving India by June 1948 - later the date of departure was moved forward to August 1947. Now the two major parties, the Indian National Congress and the Moslem League, were absolutely forced into making some decision to solve their own difficulties. During the critical days of 1946-47 many attempt: were made to find a solution of the ever-widening breach between the two parties. Finally, they agreed that, in the circumstances, there was no alternative but to create two Independent States, India for the Hindus, Pakistan for the Moslems.
