What If India and Pakistan Never Separated? 🇮🇳 (Partition 1947)

What if India and Pakistan never separated? Watching India vs Pakistan with chai, I had to ask: what would one country from Karachi to Dhaka look like? The how is embarrassing: in 1947 the man who drew the border, British lawyer Cyril Radcliffe, had never been to India. He got about five weeks and out-of-date maps and census data. A year earlier, the 1946 Cabinet Mission Plan tried to keep India united. The Muslim League accepted it on 6 June 1946 and withdrew on 29 July 1946. Flip that, and one country runs from Karachi to Dhaka: about 1.87 billion people, more than China. Instead of three countries, you get one giant family group chat. The cricket team? Kohli, Babar, Bumrah, Shaheen. But no more India vs Pakistan match. Who captains the combined XI: Kohli or Babar? Tell us 👇 Part 2 of our India what-if series.
