The international boundary between India and Pakistan was demarcated after the partition. Which type of boundary is this?

Explanation

The boundary between India and Pakistan was drawn in 1947, following the partition. This boundary was established based on religious differences, with Hindu-majority areas forming India and Muslim-majority areas forming Pakistan. Since the boundary was created to reflect cultural divisions, it is classified as a Cultural Boundary. Additionally, because it was formed after human settlement and socio-political developments, it is also a Consequent Boundary. Thus, the correct answer is Both (a) and (c). Information Booster: Cultural Boundary: A cultural boundary is a boundary that separates groups based on cultural traits such as language, religion, or ethnicity. Consequent Boundary: A consequent boundary is drawn to accommodate existing cultural, ethnic, or religious divisions. The Radcliffe Line (India-Pakistan boundary) is a classic example of a consequent boundary, as it was created after partition to separate Hindu-majority and Muslim-majority regions.
