The Indo-Pak partition of 1947 stands affixed in history as one of the most brutal mass displacements and annihilation of communities. The partition was one of the world's most violent divisions, carving the two nations of India and Pakistan from an Indian subcontinent subjected to colonial rule. Borders haphazardly drawn overnight, families forced to flee amidst tragic communal violence and a political deadlock in the nation. The tragedy did not end with just new borders, but continuous voices that haunt us to this day, with echoes of communal clashes and fractured identities leaving residual traces in modern society as well.

However, in this MUN, we travel back to before the partition. The Simla Conference, a historic committee, held 80 years in the past, on 25th June, 1945, takes us back to a time which will explore the very cause and crux of the partition.

It aims to dive deep into the technicalities of colonial politics, and explore the many intricacies, political fallacies and societal disharmony of pre-independence India, striving to rethink a new future for an independent India, potentially without a partition ever occurring. There will be conspiracies, controversies, conflicts, confusions, communal clashes and much more.

If you are someone with an inclination towards modern Indian history and in independence-era political leaders, we are certain you will love this committee as much as we do! At THSVK MUN’25, history is not set in stone. The partition haunts us today, but in that conference room, we open the halls of history for you to reshape the fate of a nation.
