43. That partition didn't happen because of persecution...

It happened out of expediency and political reasons. By the time the British had finished with their divide et impara tactics, people who had lived together for centuries and had a common history probably did feel like they couldn't live with each other (and this sentiment wasn't solely felt by the Muslims as you claim). The partition of India is another example of partition causing incredible damage and bloodshed...
