Northwest India (pre-1947)
Historical region in North-western South Asia
Northwest India was a historical region, geographically located on the north-western Indian subcontinent. It predominantly constitutes what are now parts of the present-day South Asian republics of India and Pakistan (specifically modern north-western India and eastern Pakistan) after the 1947 Partition of British India.[1][2]
The region encompassed the modern Pakistan and the territory of the modern India approximately to the west of the 77th meridian east and north of the 24th parallel north.[3]
