How can the Indian subcontinent (OTL Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Burma, and Sri Lanka) be divided so that no country has more than 2.5% of the world's population?

(To put that in perspective -- OTL, Pakistan has 2.49% with under 172 million, while India has 17.3%, approaching two billion -- source.)

Preferably, no PoDs before 1900. It is permissible for the purposes of the OP, to slow the population growth in areas of the subcontinent (or as a whole) as long as you show your work.
