How I think this could have been prevented

1. The representative of both sides would need to try and understand how each side felt

2. From there they could try and see how they could make both religions co-exist with eachother

3. Make a plan to annouce the new decision to the public

4. Annouce the new decision to the public

(Please note that this plan is highly possible to fail if this was actually tried)

This talks about what India would have looked like if the partition never happend.

It's been 75 years since India became independent. In this time, the country has experienced a whirlwind of events, from ISRO's successful Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) to moments of pride like exemplary performances by Indian athletes at the Tokyo Olympics.

And as we gear up to celebrate Independence Day, we couldn't help but think that 15 August not only mark the day we declared ourselves free from British rule in India but that it also is a day when the subcontinent was divided into two countries, India and Pakistan. And since the partition on 14-15 August 1947, both the countries charted their separate journey forward.

While the aftereffects of partition are living history, one wonders what would have been if India had not been partitioned at all. How different our lives would have been if Pakistan was still a part of India? How the politics and economy would have looked like? Would the two now bitter rivals could have fared as a superpower if still been a single country today? Let's take a guess:

1. Strongest Army

One of the best advantages of an undivided India would have been the Indian army as it would have been one of the strongest armies in the world. And RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) and ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) would have worked together for the safety of the nation.

2. The Jammu and Kashmir issue

If India had remained undivided, the Kashmir issue perhaps wouldn't have existed and the tug of war between India and Pakistan over Kashmir would not have existed today, and nor China would have been occupying a part of Kashmir.

3. Stronger in different sports like Cricket and Hockey

The Indian cricket team would have more powerful bowlers and skilled batsmen and dominate in the international tournament. A united India could also have done wonders for hockey, giving the team an opportunity to soar higher than already existing rivals.

4. Protection of minorities

Pakistan has often failed to protect minorities like Hindus and Christians who have been attacked and seen their communities perish under an unpatronising majority government. A secular India would protect their right to practise their religion and defend them from sectarian as well as communal violence.

5. Women's empowerment

Without partition, countries would not be able to impose the culture of a male-dominated society thereby offering women greater opportunities to pursue their dreams.

6. Greater Maritime presence

The maritime and naval component is an important part of the political, economic and military domain of a maritime nation. Pakistan and India apart from being hostile neighbours with over 3,323 km of the international land border also share maritime space in Indian Ocean Region. If the India-Pakistan partition never happened, India would have had extended maritime borders.

7. Political and cultural impact

United India would be blessed with more land and states but that would only mean more political parties trying to extend their ideologies on the areas under their control. They would have most likely not cooperated with the central government on conflicting issues and this could have also limited the dynastic rule of the Congress party.

As result, this would have brought selective progress around the country i.e bringing progress to some parts while others would have been left behind.

8. More religious harmony in the country

If India was undivided, less religious violence would have taken place and no politician would have been able to say, "Go to Pakistan."

9. Focus on education and health instead of defence sector

Instead of spending a huge amount of money on the defence sector, India would have focused more on improving quality of life, health, and education if the country would have been still undivided.

10. There would not be movies like Border and Bajrangi Bhaijaan

The movies like 'Border' and 'LOC' would not have been made and the related genre wouldn't have been this prominent. Sunny Deol wouldn't have broken a hand pump in Lahore and instead would have been working in some other action-based films.

Pakistani actors would have had greater access to work in major Bollywood productions, with Fawad Khan replacing the likes of Ranbir Kapoor in the hearts of crazy fans.

India, if united, Bajrangi Bhaijaan movie would not have been made.

11. Iran-India natural gas pipeline

Iran-India natural gas pipeline was conceptualised in the 50s, and was to connect Iran to India in supplying Natural Gas thereby benefiting both economies tremendously. However, it never happened due to Pakistan's inability to make up its mind. It was scrapped as Pakistan came under pressure from Saudi Arabia and the US to back out.

How India Would Have Looked Like Today If The Partition Had Never Happened?

In August 1947, British India won its independence from the British and split into two new states that would rule themselves. The new countries were India and Pakistan. East Pakistan has since become Bangladesh.
This was a very important moment in history.

Newsround takes a look at exactly what happened and what impact it had on people living there.

Many people in India felt that they did not want to be ruled by the British and wanted to govern themselves.

They weren't happy about things like economic problems as a result of rules put on them by the British.

There was also a lot of tension between Hindus and Muslims.

In the years leading up to independence, the idea for the new independent region to be divided into two separate states - India and Pakistan - was born.

India was formed mostly of Hindu regions, while Pakistan was mostly Muslim areas.

The partition of India forced millions of people to leave their homes to move to the other state. This was the largest forced migration of people that has ever happened, which wasn't because of war or famine.

Ten-year-old Sumayyah, 11-year-old Shubhashukla and nine-year-old Kamolpriya went on the mission of their lives to find out what happened to their families during the Partition of India.

Since Partition, there has been conflict between India and Pakistan - particularly over an area called Kashmir, which both states say, even now, should belong to them.

Pakistan and India have gone to war with each other, and there was conflict when East Pakistan broke away and became Bangladesh.

At the stroke of midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will wake up to life and freedom

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister

There are still tensions and divisions in the country and many families have never been able to go back to where their ancestors used to live.

For people living in India and Pakistan, travelling to the other country is not easy - even if it is to visit their family.

Progress has been made, but just as the country was divided 70 years ago, there are still divisions to this day.

During Partition in 1947, the number of people who migrated, often by foot, -- Hindus and Sikhs to India, and Muslims to Pakistan -- was 15 million.

As India prepares to mark 70 years of independence from the British, and Pakistan the anniversary of its birth, we look at some of the numbers behind this defining event known as Partition.

190
The number of years the British ruled in India, first through the East India Company and then the Crown. The Company, however, had managed trading posts in India for more than a century before assuming more official control after 1757.

400 million
The population across British India -- including modern-day Pakistan and Bangladesh -- at the time of Partition in 1947.

40
The number of days British judge Cyril Radcliffe was given to draw the new boundaries that would divide the subcontinent into India and Pakistan.

3,800
Miles (6,100 km) of new borders between India and Pakistan created by Partition. More than 1000 miles overland separated West and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).

0
The number of times British Prime Minister Clement Attlee and Lord Louis Mountbatten, Britain's final Viceroy, uttered the word "Pakistan" when publicly announcing plans for the Partition of India on June 3, 1947.

Migrants faced many challenges as during the migration villages were burnt, about 1 million people were killed (some estimates say that the amount was double), almost 83,000 young women and girls got abducted or raped from both sides, around 400,000 refugees walking from modern-day Pakistan to India. These wern't all the casualties that happed though but lets move on to some of the opportunities that the migrants went to. A shocking thing I found out is that if the partition NEVER happend a civil war might have broke out. Its very hard for anyone to really piece together what were the positives of the partition with most people only talking about the negitives.

The main reason people migrated from Pakistan to India and vice versa was : their religious beliefs, meaning that if you were Muslim you would either stay or migrate across the border to Pakistan and if you were Hindu or Sikh you had to stay or migrate across the border to India.
