Here is your short paragraph on Indo-Pakistan boundary:

The Indo-Pakistan boundary is the result of partition of the country in 1947 under the Radcliffe award of which Sir Cyril Radcliffe was the chairman.

This boundary’ runs through varied relief features and is marked by a large number of incongruities, anomalies and irrationalities.

It starts from the marshy Rann of Kachchh in Gujarat, and traverses through the sandy deserts of Rajasthan, fertile plain of Punjab, hills and mountains of Jammu and Kashmir and reaches right up-to the Karakoram Range in its northernmost reach (Fig. 1.4).

India-Pakistan Border

This boundary has created several problems by dividing the fertile erstwhile Punjab, the eastern part remaining with India and the western-part going to Pakistan in the form of West Punjab.

Here the boundary line cuts across the canals, roads, railways, towns, villages, fields and even the places of worship. Thus, it is a purely unnatural boundary created by man as a result of partition of the country which is entirely based on communal considerations.
