well it had more to do with communal tensions..
the british followed the policy of divide and rule and had been able to separate the muslims and the hindus.. the war of independence was probably the last time they could successfully unite against the british but that too couldnt last long as they bribed many rulers to support them eventually (the gandhi-jinnah talks in 1944 were a failure and so were the round table conferences and lucknow pact)

now if u think that things could be patched up.. it was too late by then..

You should read about Ghandi. After the British left India (or were forced out) it was decided that India would be for the Hindus, Pakistan for the Muslims.

I think at that time, although they were separate countries, there was more goodwill and consensus between the two countries than there is today.

its a long story
but mainly bcause the "indian national congress" had won the elections in 1937 whereas the "muslim league" lost the elections very badly
the indian national congress (INA) mainly constituted of the hindus and the muslim league constituted mainly of the muslims.....
now the muslims thought dat in this elections they had faired badly so they would never have ne scope in future to rule the country as in they would never get equal reputation as that of the hindus and dat they would never get elected in the parliament so they demanded for a separate state constituting the states in which muslims were in majority...
this was under the leader ship of mahhamed ali jinnah wh later became the prime minister of pakistan
lot of people opposed this act but as the britishers who were rulng india at dat tym they supported the muslims so there was the partition of the whole country

I don't know much, but I know that pakistanies are musslims and indians are hinduistic. That's why the pakistanies started a war to be independent. I have heard or read that the war was promoted by the United Kingdom in order to weaken the military power of this people and dominate easily there.

muslims wanted a country of their own by seperating themselves from the hindu majority of secular india.
