It isn't a good extension of my argument because religion is a major part of the identity matrix in both Pakistan and Afghanistan.@ Agnostic Muslim
Extension of your arguments -
Pakhtoons, Baloch, Sindhies and Punjabies can be better Indian nationals rather than being better Pakistanies.
That is what is the cultural concept of Akhand Bharat ! It was there and it shall remain in spite of political separations or all being different states.
Indian history is is not bereft of instances when many Indian states got together to face foreign invasion and fought under one flag not necessarily under religious flag.
Tribal, ethnic and religious identities all play into the 'identity matrix', and in the hypothetical scenario of Afghanistan's partition that we are discussing, Pakistan would be a match on all the major identity variables, whereas India was not and is not, which is why the British Colony of India was divided into two independent nations in 1947 to begin with.
