This is an interesting discussion about partition. I want to talk about events that led to partition.

I would argue that the British Raj was a good thing for the muslims in sub-continent because by the time of Bahadur Shah Zafar in 1850s, the Mughals were at their weakest and their decline had become inevitable.
If the british had not taken control of the sub-continent, then the Hindu Marathas in western india and sikhs in punjab would have become dominant force all over sub-continent and Muslims would have been forced to live under their Hindu Raj. I think that would have been even more disastrous for the muslims than the white man’s British raj?

The British raj filled that power vacuum at a crucial time in history, and allowed the muslims some breathing space. So that first under Sir Syed Ahmad khan’s leadership in the late 1800s and later the Quaid-e-Azam’s muslim league fought to ensure that muslims have Pakistan and the hindu baniyas don’t rule over the entire sub-continent

this is just like a scene of few little dogs pillas barking chasing and threatening lion to cut him in pieces . some people here look to be so deeply hurt that they are unable to forget past humiliations of 1971,65,98 , so cursing and hurling extreme type of baddua like a powerless and humiliated bewa rand ka rona . india will stay united ,khuda buri najar walo ka muh kala karega. we are proud citizen of indian republic.
