Why do Brits get hated on by Pakistanis and Indians for the partition when they also hate each other and don’t want to be in the same country anyway?

And why is it a common belief that the British somehow created the division and hatred between Indians and Muslims when they already hated each other prior, Muslims had invaded India, anti muslim Hindus rose up to push them back.

Finally, why do Indians feel entitled to all of India? They were never an actual subscontinent until the British United it for them.

      most indians never set foot in "india" either but remained in their tribal lands from cradle to grave
      The english had more knowledge about India in a general way than any indians had.
      He didnt answer his own question, he is asking why Hindus and Muslims get mad about being put on different reservations when they are both locked in a mortal struggle
      >not out of love
      wrong
      >lets frick up the place
      if they wanted to frick up the place theyd just invade it.
      >some unknown reason
      it is culturally closer to northern india than it is to southern india
      >THE BRITISHERS FRICK EVERY SAAR
      no they didnt, Britishers dragged shitskindians kicking and screaming out of the middle ages, and not only are they not thankful, they are actively anti-British.

      If Karma was real Indians would go extinct for being one of the most ungrateful races on the planet.

      So? You do realise the borders were based on census surveys to find out the best way to divide the region without it immediately devolving into a civil war?

      The fact you think 14 million people moving in a region that had 318 million in 1925 is some huge problem when the alternative was millions dying. Is laughable

      Try using basic reasoning instead of being a moron.

      There was no border that could be drawn that didn't result in millions moving. If they moved it X miles in a certain direction the millions of muslims/hindus who now didn't have to move merely be replaced by millions of the opposite who now did have to move. Millions moving was inherent to the concept of partition itself since the Muslims did not neatly end where the Hindus began. Blame Jinnah for asking for a partition in the first place.

      In all fairness there was no way to draw a border that wouldn't have caused mass population displacement, because Muslims and Hindus often lived in the same communities or in neighboring communities.

    It's the generic post-colonial butthurt. If they can blame their former colonial overlords for everything they don't have to deal with the fact that their ancestors - while doing many impressive things over the millennia - ultimately failed as a society. That is a fairly horrific realisation to have to deal with (I shudder to think what future generations of westerners will have to deal with) and largely explains why the populations there are so eager to hit that particular button.

    Politicians there keep pushing it because if you were a politician and had a 'I am not responsible for any of the problems wrecking your lives, don't rebel against or depose me' card you would be playing it all the damn time as well.

      Same reason India has a massive inferiority complex to this day. They know they were conquered by a fricking COMPANY from Britain. Their most spoken language is English. Their government follows the parliamentary system. Their national sports are football and cricket.

      They hate England but see them as symbols to follow

    The Pakis were promised more by the Brits and The Hindus/Indians did not want partition at all

      Congress didn't want partition, but they also demanded Indian independence and really ought to have realised how much the Muslims would fear ending up at the mercy of Hindus.

      The mature thing would have been to accept early on the continuation of British authority as the price of an undivided India. But the Hindu masses had been worked up into a frenzy about the idea of becoming masters of India.

    because Jinnah and co. were a fringe gang of Indian Muslims who supported the partition of India when literally everyone from Pashtuns to Indian Muslims genuinely were against it

      Pashtuns were against it because they wanted their own ethno-state instead, not a cobbled-together-monstrosity comprising the parts of India with a contiguous Muslim majority

      Yes, the Muslims and Hindus were busy slaughtering each other in the streets because they were so enthusiastic about the idea of being neighbours and countrymen.

      Pashtuns were against it because they wanted their own ethno-state instead, not a cobbled-together-monstrosity comprising the parts of India with a contiguous Muslim majority

      If Britain had carved out ethnostates for every Indian tribe then wouldn't partition have resulted in a few dozen different Indian nations?

      Why did independent India need to be one or even two countries? Bigger isn't always better.

      Why did India need to be independent? They seem to have a lot of trouble in running things even half as well as the British managed from the other side of the world.

        It's not that they needed to be independent. They wanted to be independent, and the will to retain the colony as part of the empire was absent after WWII. The British people wanted gibs after the end of the war, and they burnt the empire to the ground as a way of paying for said gibs.

      India is not a coherent entity no matter which way or how many times you slice it.
      Had it been split into 4, 8, 12, or even 50 separate states it would've just ended up similar to Africa and the Middle East.
      The post-colonial seethe would've been exactly the same.
      The wars would've been the same.
      The Indian subcontinent wouldn't be any more stable than it has been, and it would likely have ended up even less stable.
      Unity at least gave them a numbers advantage. A dozen fractured subcontinental states would not have been able to ally with Brazil, Russia, China, and South Africa all at once.

      It generally is in geopolitics. Funnily enough for all the seething about the Britishers dividing it in two the British actively encouraged the various Indian princes to remain in India instead of further balkanizing it

    Not all Indians are against the partition or hate on it. Imagine an India with 400m+ more Muslims.

    My great grandparents were Hindu refugees to India and nobody ik criticizes it. And if they did they’d blame Muslims for turning Sindh or Punjab Islamic to begin with, more than blaming the British for drawing a line in the sand.

    But why would any Indian look at British rule fondly? Imagine reading about countless famines and being treated second class and looking at that positively. India gave Britain wealth for its industrialization, suffered fighting for the empire in world wars only for British people to be ungrateful and entitled.

    At least the British went their own way tho and don’t deny the wrongs of the past. Cant say the same about Muslims

        India was actually promised Dominion status in the early 1910s. WW1 stalled this so the India Office promised Dominion as a reward for helping in the war effort. Once the war was over, the British reneged because they were worried that the British public might perceive it as losing land even after winning the war and they needed their monopoly on Indian export profits for paying back lenders.
        This caused an immediate outrage among the Congress and kick-started the famous stage of the independence movement.
