So, I'm reading about India's bumpy road to independence, and ISTM that some sort of partition was nigh inevitable. The Indian National Congress didn't get Islamic fears, while Jinnah was out to gain self-determination, and hence independence, by the late 1930s.
Yet even without the Muslim League itself, there were large seperatist movements in modern Bangladesh and other parts of the subcontinent among Muslims, which suggests that somebody would propose partition. On the other hand, modern India does have tens of millions of Muslims...
Hrmm. Any thoughts?
