Indians and Pakistanis would have lived in total harmony if those damned Hwhite old British men didn't draw a line on a map!!!

Actually they were at each other's throats and would and soon launched into a genocidal civil war if it wasn't for the fact that the pakis were given their own country to fuck off to instead. Even then, they managed to do some wars anyway.

Including between West and East Pakistans (today Pakistan and Bangladesh).

There's an argument to be made that, because the British Empire strategy was to make an ethnic minority into the local ruling class, subject to Britain (in order to keep them loyal, they need British support or they get mobbed), it inflamed ethnic tensions.

However, that ignores that the ethnic tensions needed to be there in the first place for the British to exploit.

Pakistan was not created until the British left. Hindus were always the large majority in India, about 70% to about 20% for Muslims.

The British didn't favor the Muslims. But during WW2, the Hindus were rebellious, while the Muslims supported the British.

The Muslims, knowing they were the minority, did not want to be dominated by the Hindus, and Muslim League pushed for the creation of Pakistan. It was successful.

When the partition happened after independence, even though it was called the "Radcliffe Line", the line was drawn by commissions of top Hindus and Muslims chaired by Radcliffe. It wasn't like some white dude just drew an arbitrary line on a map like dumb libs think.

It's happening again today. The alphabet people are a minority but they are being elevated to ruling class status.

to be fair - that entire region has been at each others throats since time began. We can change the labels for the different groups, but the actions and methods are always the same. Kill the other.

They could have reunified if they wanted, no-one was stopping them but themselves.

But it turns out the only interaction the majority of people on either side of that border wanted with each other is sectarian violence and the occasional veiled nuclear threat.
