See I was also Bengali , my parents and relatives are still Hindus and some of them are much more illogically than some of the Hindutva idiots.
Even if I do not and did not follow that religion our family history is intertwined with history of Bangladesh, North East and Bengal, certain things need not be told to us as with most bengalis, even if there is no documented proof we know many things intuitively through sub conscious memory.
However, in this case I had definitely gone through an article or probably an youtube video that mentioned how section of Indian political circles (and probably public too) were against independence of Bangladesh and more inclined towards having control over an independent or semi independent or fully integrated entity on the eastern side.
This is not a new and isolated characteristic.
Before 1971 war Hindu political leaders of Kolkata thought congress was too much lineant towards the Muslims in the name of Gandhian politics, comfortably ignoring that without Gandhi, Nehru they had 0 to 0 capability of getting self rule.
They had advocated armed exercise to free east pakistan from west and the fact Pakistan was not recognising Bengali language and culture and diverting funds to the west creating problems for people had also helped their cause
A bunch of privileged people who had made name and position due to close proximity to center of British political power in South Asia the same way ugly, idiotic, serpentine stooges have grown up in and around New Delhi post independence they had no motivation in life other than self patting for their own intellect and feeling great through hoodwinking of population to believe they were the 'sher in the jungle' , some of these bastards were squarely responsible for partition of India and Bengal, subsequent riots in Calcutta and migration and suffering of countless refugees from East Bengal and none of them or their like minded generations to follow could do anything except blame the congress and communists or blame the british and definitely not leave out the muslims, none of them had the decency to acknowledge many of their mistakes created from myopic views, traditional one upmanship, acute narcissism that had caused suffering to others.
Acknowledging mistakes is not a quality of south asians , in fact it is absent in Asia. Controlling others, becoming self styled leader, over eating stuffs & returning a bloated ugly visage everywhere is the dominant characteristic.

I think you are correct.
Sometimes i am myself in doubt on hasina and really concerned about her safety, the way she is going against public sentiment against india.
She did great job bringing bangladesh up to a level , but she needs to be safe too.
But honestly there is serious problems with islam or for that matter any groupings of different people, we know not all people cannot be same but if one is in a religious group he or she should know clearly what that religion stands for and should be able to support that from the heart.
Most south asians except few do not understand religion. Which is why they mix it with their community identity and national identity. Everything fails if ibe tried to marry off a mango and a banana, it wont work, it will just cause suffering to themselves and others.
Unfortunately thats the majority of people.
The best option for most people there is to keep off from it.
Human beings have life , when there is no need to know where it came from, why it got created, what is good , what is bad why go the extra pain to understand it.
And if one feels an urge to know never ignore the call too.
At least , at least, be your own person, never another one.
It will only return backstabbing, disappointment and suffering,

On the staying part I would have preferred they maintain some sort of presence in the sub continent , even if locally.
Many pockets of the subcontinent wanted that and desperately wants that nowadays.
The fall of Goa into Indian hands subsequently has not borne good results for many people there , just an example.
Maybe the British could have maintained presence in North East of India, there presence would have been crucial in many fronts, one of which would have been safeguarding of interests of minority of minority and now literally trampled upon community of Anglo Indians and few families who descended directly from them. It is good however they allow these people to migrate to UK easily but I dont understand why I saw few families in utter despair of the turn of events in independent india , painfully visible through their faces.
The other benefit would have been protection of the numerous minorities, mostly tribal.population.
However, the biggest benefit would probably had been setting an example for rest of the region.

However, my answer was not on that point. I think the British lacked in judgement and capability in dealing with the situation that led to riots and loss of lives when they had left. Whether they were extremely frustrated and disappointed and completely lost interest in wellbeing and protection of the population during that short period or whether it was lacunae in character and capability of few men in important positions I am not sure, but I can say after going through number of videos , documentaries on the subject , it was not properly handled.
Obviously there was no proper infrastructure then, no developed communication system as we enjoy now, much higher chance of misinformation, bad influences than today.
Maybe lot of things we take for granted today was not possible then.
In any case history should never be used to cherry pick villains and heroes.
