   Show answer

   Answer: (1) Super imposed boundary

   సమాధానం: (1) ఉపరిన్యస్త సరిహద్దు

   A superimposed boundary is one imposed by an outside power on an already settled cultural landscape; the India-Pakistan boundary (Radcliffe Line) was drawn by the departing British in August 1947 straight across long-settled Punjab and Bengal. Some textbooks call it a subsequent boundary because it broadly followed religious-majority areas, but the official key treats it as superimposed.
