What if India-Pak signed Hindu-Muslim population exchange agreement in 1947 ?

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Where they exchanged Hindus/Sikhs/Buddhist/Jains/Zorastrians/Jews in Pak territory to
India while India exchanged its Muslim population (all Urdu, Punjabi speaking Muslims to
West and all Bengali speaking ones to East. Pakistan sending people of these faiths to
India where India settles Hindu Bengalis into West Bengal and Punjabis in Indian Punjab,
Sindhis in Rajasthan and others in different parts of India. Other Muslims such as
Malabaris, Hyderabadis etc. could be given the option to choose if they want to leave.
Note that not religion alone but language would decide this agreement as well. Assuming
very not more than 10% among the other Muslims left.
How differently would history have panned out if the promise of partition of two nation
theory was executed similar to Greece-Turkey in lines as stated above. Assume also that
Sunni Kashmir valley is with Pakistan in this agreement while Ladakh, Kargil, Jammu
remains with India with Chenab valley of Jammu being decided by referendum due to more
confusing dynamic . What would be Hindu % in such a scenario in India???? Would this be
better for modern India today????
Plz be objective and dispassionate on your answer.

I as a pakistani would oppose this agreement strongly. Doing so would have doubled our population with no significant gain in land other than kashmir valley! Secondly the Muslims who stayed behind in India were anti Pakistan hence i love and care for a Pakistani Hindu/Sikh/Christian/Ahmadi more than all of the Muslims in India.

This is still an option today if all the countries agree. Better late than never.

 

[Anuj Tagra]

yeah,that would have been a perfect option that day.

 

[Kashmiri Pandit]

⚆ _ ⚆ It might not be a good idea

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

just like Greece and turkey

The muslims in india were left on purpose otherwise we had the capacity to bring all indian muslims under Green and white flag but they were left for a much greater purpose.

Please refer to my earlier where posts where i explained in detail as to why JINNAH wasn't a ordinary man.

Then there would have been a demand for a Hindu state. While our constitution makers have something different in there mind.
The Muslims population of India is far more beneficial for us today then a whole Muslim Pakistan.

 

[MAB]

Would not have been a good idea, East Pakistan was crowded as hell now imagine the same thing in the west. Good thing they were left there. They did their job to the ummah by giving us a less dense country

 

[Zibago]

WEll there was a Punjab specific agreement
