Hi RKN Please do correct me if I am wrong. Was it not the case that, Jinnah and Mountbatten worked closely together to create Pakistan? And is it not the case that Nehru and Gandhi were opposed to the split?
I do find your contention that India would have had the same fate as Pakistan and Bangladesh, had the sub-continent not been divided, rather dificult to follow. However, I will not go on with this issue beyond this post.
