It was one of the largest migrations the world has ever seen - with at least 10 million people on the move.

Seventy years ago, in August 1947, British colonial rule in India came to an end.

The country was divided into two independent states - Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan.

Millions of Muslims moved to West and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Millions of Hindus and Sikhs travelled to be within India's new borders.
