Answer 2

Answer: India and Vietnam were split up into multiple countries.

Explanation:

After the independence movement of 1954, Vietnam was partitioned into northern and southern areas, with HoChiMinh in control of North Vietnam and Emperor Bao Dai in charge of the South.

Similarly, India´s independence came only at the expense of the separation into India and Pakistan. This collided with Gandhi´s idea of a free India were Hindus and Muslims could have a harmonious co-existence.
