Well, Schuaeb as you do understand it does not make a difference whether there are a few hundred thousand muslims more in India or less. That is beside the point, agree with you on that.
Look at it this way, the two nation theory re created Pakistan (us and Bangladesh in 1947) and the fact is that Indus land was never part of India,. with some geographical variations (as you have pointed out). The thing to see and understand is that a United India would be a cosmetic country just as you would put England and France or France and Germany as one country. Pakistan and India were two different countries even to the outside world. So to say that the making of Pakistan was some kind of a mistake is quite incorrect. More so, is the fact that mass scale killing was simply because of Pakistan, it was because of the Redcliffe commission, and the over night changes made in the partition plan on the behest of Lady Mountabatten, Nehru and the Lord himself ! Radcliffe's diaries are now public and you can read about it in the press. Thousands upon thousands of Muslims reached Gurdaspur to think it was Pakistan and then got clubbed to death.
The question of who fired the first shot or rapped the first woman is some thing of history for now !! but I am sure it was the sikhs.. they avenged the death of the Fourth Guru Gobind,.. (who was killed by Aurungzeb along with all his opponents.) Under what was proposed under the Pakistan resolution was an undivided Punjab and Bengal, so if you want to play the blame game you have the British and the Congress.
