Alternative way to Independence of India
Ive made some events relating the indian disturbances in 42 and the ultimatum of Indian Congress that said that they wouldn´t keep their war effort against JAP and GER if they didn´t have guarantees of independence... well, the event text describes it quite well. It includes the possibility of starting the negotiations and it can lead to a earlier independence of India some months or years after de beggining of the negotiations.
Lamentably, this events don´t include the possibility of splitting India in India and Pakistan.
I hope you like them. I think they have enough historical background to think that it would be a posibility that the british government could have preferred start the negotiations (option b)instead of facing the riots, like they did historically (option a).

desc = "In August, 1942, the Indian Congress voted a resolution followed by a non-cooperation movement that energically criticized the british imperialist attitude and demanded to negotiate the independence of India in order to continue its fight against fascist and japanesse imperialist agression. In India, the discontent was growing due to the application of the 'Defence Agreement' between London and Delhi which stated that an important part of the Indian local founds were used to finance british war effort. There were even some factions like the one headed by Subhas Chandra Bose that thought that India should be Japanesse allied to liberate Asia from white people´s hands. The british authorities´s reaction was immediate and very hard, more than 60.000 people were arrested. The popular protest, vigourous but espontaneous and without order, was repressed, and the national movement reduced to silence until the end of the war."
