Mountbatten was of course killed by terrorists who received at lot of funding from strange bedfellows which i will not detail here. A member of my family was injured and inches from being killed by that same terrorist organisation - the result of another possibly misguided partition, where people are still fighting a religious war.
Also Mountbatten was twice asked to lead in coup (in the 60s and 70s). Yes he rejected them but at what point did he think was OK not to the conspirators in for treason, so like our other war leaders Churchill and Montgomery very much a maverick.
The reason I said the lack of a Kurdish country was the worst because they have been continually persecuted by the countries they reside in, especially Turkey (even though they did well enough in elections to upset the tyrant Erdogan, who is similar to Putin in that he finds ways of not relinquishing power and indeed never stops trying to extend his power) and with Saddam. That's not to diminish the Kurds' plight elsewhere. The Indian partition was an incredibly brutal affair with little or no thought for those effected. I know there is a lot of hate along that border now which perhaps ought to be directed at the UK.
As I said, most of the couple of million of Pakistanis in UK come from a small area which also produced many soldiers who fought for the Allies in the war. There used to be (certainly in the 90s) a lot of violence between the Sikh, Hindu and Muslim communities on the outskirts of west London, but because it was more complicated that white racial attacks on blacks, it was not well reported.
