You are equating bifurcation of states for political & administrative reasons, within the same country, to splitting a country into two !
When a country is split, crimes committed against those who are migrating to another country will not be prosecuted by the home country, and will not be possible to be prosecuted by the split country.
Land, Houses and other immovable assets will be stolen from those who are forced to leave respective countries.
Rapes, looting and arson are rampant, on both sides.
In the case of India and Pakistan, the division was on explicit religious lines. Islam has an outdated theology of being the only true religion and all other religions are false (as is Christianity). This theology forms the basis (whether that basis evolved later or is advocated by islam is a secondary issue) of the idea than non-believers can be treated inhumanely and are essentially no different from animals.
In essence, Partition of India was not "drifting apart". It was a violent tearing apart of countries and communities. The origin was from the muslim community, whose political leaders realized that for them to seize power, a democratic setup with majority Hindu population will be impossible. So, to preserve their power and egos, they split the country, aided by pacifists like Gandhi and Nehru.
To note, Pakistan has one of the most fertile lands on earth. Abundance of natural resources and a strategically important location.
Also to note, the plan was to destroy Hindu civilization as a whole (a historical dream of Islam. Search google for Gazwa-e-Hind). Jinnah proposed a 10 mile wide corridor, cutting across the heart of India to allow road access to east pakistan (now Bangladesh)
Partition of India is the manifestation of the idea of Gazwa-e-Hind. A strike at the Hindu India.
neither Gazwa-e-Hind nor Islam as one true religion was not cause or even ideas behind partition.
And speaking about Gazwa-e-Hind, while conveniently ignoring Akhand Bharat, is pure propaganda.
If you read about Jinnah in old school history books which unfortunately are being edited out by NCERT in India, he was never was religiously motivated.
His idea was Muslim population would be a minority in Hindu controlled state, which wasn't far fetched, look at Indian politics right now, which runs on the basis of Muslim hatred.
Also claiming things like Gazwa-e-hind(Ignoring Akhand Bharat) and Muslims believing in one true religion and then saying India is tolerant or Muslims and secular becomes an Irony. You can't run both ways.
Also the violence during partition were on both sides, not just one side.
>The origin was from the muslim community, whose political leaders realized that for them to seize power, a democratic setup with majority Hindu population will be impossible.
Or put in other words, muslims being a minority in India didn’t want to now have new rulers as India got independence from the British.
