In 1947 the subcontinent of India was split into two nations, the Union of India and the Dominion of Pakistan. The  majority of Union of India was Hindus and the majority of the Dominion of Pakistan was Muslim dominated. However, when they split India millions of people were on in the wrong nation religiously. In order to escape possible war, find better jobs, and go not face discrimination, Muslims in the Union of India migrated to the Dominion of Pakistan and vice versa.

People had many reasons to migrate because of the partition of India. A push factor was that if you were a Hindu in Pakistan or a Muslim in India you might face persecution racism if you stayed so they moved. A pull factor would be that it would be easier to get jobs if you were in the country aligned with your religion. This was forced migration because they couldn’t stay otherwise they might be persecuted. People were migrating between two countries this makes it international migration. Colonization was shown when India it was controlled by the British and then a British Raj. Then a British lawyer who lacked understanding about the different religious areas of India drew the boarders to devastating consequences. Regional scale is shown when people want to move to the region that shares the same religion as themselves.
