The India that gained independence is India + Pakistan + Bangladesh + some rounding errors.

The independence of India was immediately followed by a sectarian war between muslims and hindus in India (started by muslims) which by a number of measures was bigger than WW2. Gandhi immediately turned into the commander-in-chief in this war, a war where millions died, and Gandhi came out on top.

After which Pakistan, now independent, started another war with yet again millions of dead, against "East-Pakistan", to prevent their independence, now known as Bangladesh. This war was a continuation of the partition wars in many ways.

Pakistan is not far from starting another of these wars, by the way, against "Balochistan", the south west of Pakistan.
