NOO I don't want maximum balkanization I was figuring maybe India + Pakistan + Khalistan + Bangladesh? + Bengal state + I dunno which small regions in either I/P would be strong enough to be considered independent in this scenario.
Khalistan isn't really viable- Sikhs were never more than a large minority in the Punjab. The conditions that led to the creation of the Sikh Empire in the late 18th/early 19th C were predicated purely on the military supremacy of the Khalsa and Ranjit Singh's personal power.
