What is the name of the boundary line between India and Pakistan created in 1947?

The boundary line created in 1947 during the partition of British India was the Radcliffe Line.

It was named for British lawyer Cyril Radcliffe, who chaired separate boundary commissions for Punjab and Bengal. The commissions divided territories between the new dominions of India and Pakistan, using religious population majorities along with factors such as communications, rivers, irrigation and administrative geography.

The awards were completed in August 1947 but published on 17 August, after India and Pakistan had become independent. The hurried and secretive process left many communities uncertain about which country they would belong to and contributed to a vast refugee movement and severe communal violence.

The term is sometimes used loosely for the entire India–Pakistan boundary, but more precisely it refers to the partition boundaries drawn through Punjab and Bengal. The Line of Control is a later military control line in Jammu and Kashmir; the McMahon Line concerns the India–China frontier, while the Durand Line separates Afghanistan and Pakistan.
