One of the benefits of "colonization" as I understand, is that the Islamic tumor was removed from mainstream India in the form of Pakistan. May not have been a surgically precise job but it did save India a lot of headache.

I dont see any "benefit". The land you called Pakistan had 50% Hindu + Sikh population pre-partition who were cleansed out. My folks had too flee what is now Bangladesh. In all 3 million Hindus (& Sikhs) were purged out of Pakistan. While only 1.2 million Muslims went from India to Pakistan. Almost 160 million Muslims remained behind in India. Pakistan and Bangladesh became almost devoid of Hindus who were systematically removed from their lands. In 1971 another 3 million Hindus were killed in East Pak. The same kind of ethnic cleansing of Hindus is being carried out in Kashmir. Do you suggest another partition to remove yet another "tumor"?
Secondly had there been no Pakistan in the first place, there would never have been a "nuclear Pakistan" for us to deal with.
