and I can't really think of any prominent Indians being cancelled for "anti-semitism",

During WW2, there was a group of Indians who fought for the Axis. Their leader met with Hitler, and some of them made it as far as defending Normandy Beach.

If the Axis didn't lose, chances are India could have been turned into an alt-right ally with Chandra Bose as leader instead of Gandhi.

What's funny is that India is now clearly worse off when they sided with the British. The result for their hard work? Getting their nation split in two (i.e Pakistan).

The revolutionary spirit in Indians is scarce, they will side with whatever portion of the status quo will let them climb the ladder of the current hierarchy. Bose is an exception to this rule, and in any case was a communist that believed in biological egalitarianism. I respect his actions though.

I think Pakistan is a good bit less than a half.

It actually broke apart twice.

The modern country of Bangladesh use to be called East Pakistan before they declared independence in 1971.

I know, even combining Bangladesh and Pakistan, it isn't close to half of India.
