Radcliffe Line: Defining International Borders
The Radcliffe Line was established in August 1947 during the partition of British India.
It was drawn by Sir Cyril Radcliffe, the chairman of the Boundary Commissions.
This line demarcated the boundaries of India and Pakistan, becoming their international border.
Specifically, it separates:
- India and Pakistan (Western sector)
- India and Bangladesh (Eastern sector, formerly East Pakistan)
Therefore, the Radcliffe Line serves as the international border between India and Pakistan.
