Your interest is not primarily in "breaking-up Pakistan". That is not your real wish. Your real wish is to seek Validation that they two-nation theory is not true. The breaking-up of Pakistan provides you with that validation. Therefore, you wish for it. See what I mean? The indirectness and mixed nature of the desire is the key point to note here.
There are many in India who believe the two nation theory was right.
I don't think Muslims needed a separate country because India as one would not serve them well. In fact, Jinnah knew that the poor Muslims in various parts of India would not have the energy or the resources to move to present day Pakistan. If two nation theory was in the interest of all then why is "Muhajir" used even to this day in a derogatory context. A large number of people who moved to Pakistan in 1947 were those who were educated, well informed and those who had the means to make the journey. Those who were left behind in many cases where those who believed in secular state of India or those who had no means to make the journey.
The real reason for the two nation theory to succeed is the creation of political opportunity where those who did not have a foot hold had a chair. This was beneficial to many and on both sides. The power struggle to lead united India would not yield desired roles to all in the fray. However, there is more opportunity to succeed in a two nation context.
