AHC: Make a “One-India Policy”

The situation between The People’s Republic of China and the Taiwan-based Republic of China continues to be both a frustrating and fascinating political quagmire. However, what if this situation emerged in India instead, where India went “communist” under a Mao-like leader, and the capitalist Indian Republic fled to Sri Lanka? Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to make this plausible, if it is even possible.
 
Why Sri Lanka? If India goes communist, a capitalist regime would most likely flee to either the Andamans or the Lakshadweep islands.

It seems to be more likely that Sri Lanka would have got a situation similar to how commies invaded Hainan. And more intersting. Sri Lanka wasn't a part of the British India but a separate colony, so why the indian goverment would have fleed there? Of course being a separate entity, and not a part of India would not have stopped peaceful loving commies from invading it. The strait is narrow and shallow...
 
Isn’t India’s primary division religious? Perhaps India adopts a hard-line “Pakistan is part of India” policy and forces other countries to recognize it as such.
 

Why not? An authoritarian India may want to keep the country together despite a massive migration of Muslims to the north. If India is even a semi-functioning democracy, no way does that happen, but any sort of authoritarian state, communist or otherwise, may have an interest in doing so.

They are effectively getting rid of Muslims, why would they want them in ?
