This paper intends to see how, historically, partition has become a political tool first to divide the spoil of colonial gains and secondly as a spoil of national gains in different countries. Partition has been an instrument for the colonial powers to divide and destroy people's unity, commonality, solidarity, and strength in different countries of the world. Locating India in the history of partition, this paper also discusses the partition of India into two countries – India and Pakistan- which were subsequently bifurcated into different nations along with different identities. While forming the global context of the paper, the second part discusses the formation of the global collective identities in a world context with similarities witnessed in different layers of a partition across the world.
