As we all know, after WW2, when Indian Independence became an inevitability, there was talk of partitioning India with a Hindu and a Muslim state being created but on August 15, 1947, India became independent as a united Dominion of India, which became a Republic on May 21, 1952. Today, the Republic of India is a near-superpower on the same level as the Federated Eurasian Republics (OOC: Formed by an alt-New Union treaty) and the Republic of China. So, what if instead of becoming a united nation, India was partitioned? How sustainable would such an arrangement be as said hypothetical "Pakistan" would be comprised of geographically incontiguous areas?
