It's almost like a colonial power intentionally divided the region so they'll be focused on infighting instead of competing with said colonial power (lemmy.ml)

This is rather naive. Do you think the fighting wouldn't have happened if they were kept as one big country?

This is rather a colonial narrative. Do you think the fighting would've lasted as long if the British never colonized that area?

Of course it would have lasted long. It had lasted basically the entire existence of human populated India up until then.
