You're misunderstanding the issue. The British tried to fix certain issues that really didn't need fixing. To their credit they did abolish a few insane practices, but the partition was never gonna be a good thing.

I'm not a historian. I'm just recounting stuff I've been taught.

From what I know, when Britain left India they really did need to partition it. I've never heard anyone say wanted India and Pakistan to be one.

So you've never talked to Indians or Pakistanis about partition.

Because partition was a mistake and letting a nation being found on the basis of religion was terrible, and you can literally see it with how politically unstable Pakistan has been and how they are housing terrorists like Dawood or funding them.
