Alternate History Challenge/Plausibility Check/What If: Make India's partition and subsequently Pakistan's partition still occur while avoiding as many of these events as possible: World War I, World War II, the Bolshevik Revolution, and the Holocaust?

This is very speculative

Much of Indian was always under Indian
self-rule. This was growing in the 1900s even without ww1 and ww2. The
British had already given their white region's independence. As nationalism
spread to the non-whites, it's unlikely that they would have stopped this
movement for long. Imagine something like the war Vietnam in
India.

Another issue is that India cost Britain money to keep.

While the
British were leaving, it was quite possible they would have split the
country up, e.g. Egypt and Sudan, New Zealand and Australia, Malaysia and
Singapore, etc.
