I'm not sure that this is true. Certainly there should never have been an East Pakistan. It was always a separate country from West Pakistan; millions of people would not have died if "East Pakistan" had simply remained Bengal.

But imagine how much more dangerous the world would be if the Muslim minority had dominated the Hindu majority -- that is not altogether outside of the realm of possibility (and indeed was true of large and varying parts of India for more than 500 years), in which case we would have a dangerous, unstable India with its Muslim leadership constantly starting conflicts all over the world in order to keep its domestic problems contained.

No thanks.

[Alas Babylon!]

Right now, India has the second LARGEST population of Muslims in the world; over 175 million of them; 11 percent of the world’s Muslims!

That’s NOT counting Pakistan or Bangladesh.

Only Indonesia has more Muslims, with 210 Million.
