Would those ten million refugees have been better off if the people they were fleeing were their fellow voting citizens in a democracy instead?

In 2026, it’s a huge boon to India to not have Pakistan within its body politic. It’s like having broken up with a finance who ended up becoming a self destructive addict. Same for Bangladesh, even with all the people who died in the independence war.
