Explanation

The partition of Punjab Province in 1947 resulted in a major consequence of religious homogeneity.
The new international border that cut through the region led to wide-scale migration and religious cleansing riots.
As a result, districts witnessed a significant shift towards religious homogeneity, with Hindu-majority districts becoming predominantly Hindu and Muslim-majority districts becoming predominantly Muslim.
