    Muslims, Sikhs, and Hindus all had different reactions to the Radcliffe Line partition of British India. Muslims wanted control over areas with Muslim majorities like Ferozepur and Gurdaspur to connect to Kashmir. Sikhs were divided on religious lines over whether to join India or Pakistan. Hindus believed the Chittagong Hill Tracts and areas important for East Bengal's economy should be given to India rather than Pakistan.
