India was a mainly Hindu nation, whereas the region that would become Pakistan was mostly Muslim. The Partition of India on 17 August 1947 created a state for Muslims to live. Religious conflicts between Hindus and Muslims were frequent in this period and marriages between individuals of the two religious were shunned. Manish, a Hindu, killed his own brother Prem and the holy man that was to perform his wedding, because Prem intended to marry a Muslim, Umbreen. (TV: Demons of the Punjab)
