Which one among the following districts of Eastern India held a referendum in 1947 to decide whether or not to join Pakistan ?

During the partition of India in 1947, referendums were conducted in two specific regions to determine whether they would join India or Pakistan: the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and the district of Sylhet in Assam.

• Sylhet Referendum: Held on July 6 and 7, 1947, the referendum sought to decide if the Bengali-speaking district of Sylhet should remain in Assam (India) or join East Bengal (Pakistan).
• Result: The majority of the population voted in favor of joining Pakistan. Consequently, the Radcliffe Commission awarded most of Sylhet to East Pakistan, while a small portion, specifically the Karimganj subdivision, remained with India.
• Other Options: Districts like Goalpara, Cachar, and Jalpaiguri were also sensitive border areas, but their fate was decided directly by the Boundary Commission without a public referendum.
