    The Empire podcast goes quite deep into some of the issues and roots of partition. It was very clear that the English wanted out ASAP. One reason was the sectarian violence they could no longer contain.

    I thought Kashmir was run by a Hindu at the time and they chose to go with India rather than Pakistan.

    Definitely we can blame imperialism for a lot but some of the disputed territory wasn’t Brittain’s fault, afaik
