Answer 2

The British knew that if the subcontinent exploded into civil war, they would be blamed

Explanation:

• In the year 1942, as Britain was fighting a war with Nazi Germany, the Indian National Congress (INC) had launched the "Quit India" movt & Britain had promised to grant Independence to India post the war.
• Owing to the bad state of the British economy subsequent to the world war, it was unable to combat the call for Independence in India. It was further agreed that with India's independence, India would be partitioned, and Lord Mountbatten then set up the plan with the terms & the specifics of the partition between the "Hindu India" & the "Muslim Pakistan"
• The necessity for the partition of the new nation had come about as Muslims & Hindus in India were deeply divided & not willing to "coexist" in the same nation. Lord Mountbatten felt that if the partition did not happen and if there is fight between Hindus and Muslims the British would help responsible for the civil war.
