There are multiple reasons for that.Apparently not.
Check out the posts from @jamahir, @Abotani, @mujhaidind, and @DRAY.
States with large demographic divisions have not tended to do well, see the Soviet Union, or ex-British colonies like Sudan.
Or even Iraq and Syria, which have already been de facto partitioned as we speak. Vast areas of both countries are now administered and controlled by ISIS.
1. These states have never been together as entities in the past. Their identity suddenly came into existence in the 20th century after the Ottoman empire was vanquished. India's identity predates the British by many millenia.
2. The fault lines allways remained and only was subdued by socialist regimes, often by force.
3. The most challenging times are best to gauge any nation. In the thirties, under the Japanese assault, quite a handful of Chinese collaboration Governments were formed who did not mind butchering their own citizens. The ISIS is also another example of an opportunistic infection. India was also terribly weakened in 1991. Soviet Union was breaking down, our reserves fell to below 1 million dollar USD. But still the individual divergent groups within the country reposed faith in the Center than others. That speaks for itself.
