I'm sure most of you are familiar with the DBWI in The Man in the High Castle-where Britain fights a ghastly war against India in the later 1940s.

My question is-if the hardline imperialists prevailed-Gandhi and Nehru killed. Democratic avenues eliminated. And a violent revolution erupts-how does it end? What would the body count look like? What effect would it have on Indian and British society?

Tens of millions dead, Pakistan being found only west of the Indus river because the bridges would be destroyed. Abrahamic religions purged from the rest of South Asia, and highly likely fracturing of the country into various theocratic, trial and outlaw states. So a complete failure of the British colonial legacy.

Would that failure have any impact on British politics, society psyche?

Would their be interstate wars between this divided India? Civil wars?

On the psyche yes, it would delay decolonialization until they felt it was ready
as for the wars, both probaby
 
That India doesn't gain independence mostly peacefully that a brutal war for independence against Britain occurs if so what are the consequences-in detail please.
I would look at what happened to Yugoslavia after the fall of the Soveit Union, or the wars in the former French Indo-China region, it would be bloody for both sides, war crimes and genocides, horrific all around.
