I’m a Christian, it’s right in our Bible. God divided the nations. For most of the history of nations, division along ethnic and religious lines wasn’t controversial and was in fact the default. You’ll find large numbers of Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, and Buddhists among others who agree. Perhaps, the vast majority of all of them.
It might not sound that progressive but nobody ever told us what we’re progressing towards, that’s a whole separate problem though.
You might want to Google "Ganga-Jamni tehzeeb" and "composite culture" and read a little and then get back to us here. And by the way my family lived that, it wasn't some academic thing historians cooked up.
