The world would be a better and safer place today if Pakistan had never been created, and the Muslims currently living there had simply remained a minority in India

Bravo!

Consider how much safer and more prosperous Muslims are in India, as opposed to Pakistan.

I’d have to go with Fred here. Partition, as bad as it was, was inevitable. Look at the kind of trouble India has had with Jammu and Kashmir, its only Muslim majority state. You’d have to multiply that by a factor of four or five if India stayed undivided (Hyderabad, Bengal, Punjab, Junagadh spring to mind).
