Man who drew Indo-Pak border had never visited India before
Sir Cyril Radcliffe, the British barrister who drew the India-Pakistan border, known as the Radcliffe Line, had never visited India before he came for the task. He reached India in July, and was given 40 days to draw the line, which was formally declared two days after Independence, on August 17, 1947. He also reportedly refused to take his fee.
