When the partition of India was to take place in 1947, the Lord Mountbatten set up a Boundary Commission to determine the new boundaries of two independent states of India and Pakistan. This Commission was headed by Sir Radcliffe. The Congress party of India had already “bought” Lord Mountbatten by naming him the first Governor General of India.
Quaid e Azam Jinnah was completely aware of the situation, that the Boundary Commission had for Pakistan. The main question was how to divide Panjab into two – one going to India and the other to Pakistan.
