Successive Viceroys of India were never in favour of partition and read it as unworkable. Had it not been for the direction action plan and riots instigated by Muslim league in muslim majority areas. We would not have witnessed partition. Pakistan is hindering India's aim of become a great power. Its ultimate demise and death and say partitions will spread the power of India far and wide and will erase the notion of being a soft state. Pakistan could not even define itself. Wether its an islamic state or a state where Indian muslims could live in majority. Thats why the current problems. A clash between modernists and Islamists is inevitable in pakistan. India should only encourage it. A strong pakistan will always be a menace to India. A weak and partitioned pakistan will not. The permanent peace is not possible with a state which wants to "bleed india with a thousand cuts (A quate by parasarthi a defense expert)". The only solution is the dismantling of pakistan. The nuclear menace can also be worked on. Its just we need to be tough and daring.
