Hi. Sorry if this didn't come across, but my point was specifically that the local independent movement had agency and it wasn't just a top-down colonial mismanagement. The Empire can obviously take a large part of the blame here for being here to begin with and having a rushed exit. But the conflicting Pakistani and Indian view had a lot of influence in the resulting chaotic border.
it was Hindu, Sikh and Muslim massacring each others as millions moved across the border. But it was an independence planed and executed in less than 6 months, amidst existing religious tension, that made a tense situation worse by forcing a mass emigration on short notice. To the point people were staving on the road and supplies had to be parachuted to the columns of migrants.
As for my invitation to debate the impact of the British exit of India, it is not meant to carry an opinion but to open discussion. I am less knowledgeable about the subject, but my opinion is that even if good border had been drawn the Kashmir would have ever been contentious and conflict would have flared there. But again, open to debate.
I hope this clears things up.
Also my grammar is awful but bear with me English isn't my 1st language.
