Which agreement was signed between India & Pakistan on refugees after Partition?

A. Tashkent Pact
B. Simla Agreement
C. Liaqat-Nehru Pact
D. Inter-Dominion Agreement
Correct Answer: C. Liaqat-Nehru Pact

The correct answer is the Liaqat-Nehru Pact, also known as the Delhi Pact, signed in 1950. This agreement was crucial for addressing the issues of refugees and minorities in both India and Pakistan following the tumultuous Partition of 1947. It aimed to protect the rights of minorities and facilitate the return of refugees to their homes, ensuring their safety and property rights.

  • The Tashkent Pact (1966) was signed after the 1965 Indo-Pak War.
  • The Simla Agreement (1972) followed the 1971 Indo-Pak War.
  • The Inter-Dominion Agreement (1947) was an earlier, broader agreement on partition issues, but the Liaqat-Nehru Pact specifically focused on refugee and minority rights.
