From the hindu viewpoint, there was much logic in favor of partition
United Punjab and United Bengal both had a 55% muslim majority and sooner or later, just like the kashmiri pandits, in a United India, all non-muslims
would have been ethnic cleansed from United Punjab and United Bengal
We eventually would have partition with a much bigger pakistan
Partition also helped in dealing with the Nizam
The Nizams kingdom alone had as many non-muslims as were trapped in east and west pakistan
Only Ambedkar had a vision to call for muslim population exchange
Between Gandhi and Ambedkar, Ambedkar wins by a mile
On balance Ambedkar offered hindus an opportunity for a muslim free India
whereas Gandhi doomed hindus to another partition
Gandhi should be reviled as a fool like Prithvi raj chauhan
Finally all the post partition riots in India have killed less than 1 day of Direct Action in 1946
