At the time of independence in 1947, how much percentage of the total industry did Pakistan receive?

At the time of independence in 1947, Pakistan received only about 8% of the total industry of British India. The areas that constituted Pakistan were predominantly agricultural, lacking significant industrial infrastructure. Most of the developed industrial units, including textile mills, steel plants, and other manufacturing facilities, were located in the regions that remained part of India. This created a significant challenge for Pakistan's economic development post-partition.

• Options like 10%, 28%, and 5% are incorrect. The actual figure highlights the severe industrial deficit Pakistan faced at its inception.
