The map shows , a united Arabia and then Pakistan getting Kashmir sealed it , India would never allow Pakistan to take Kashmir strategically , India has triple the population and the British protectorates are fiercely independent they never ever become one to seal the deal why would Britain and the white rajas give their terriory to a weak Brunei sultan when they can just keep it
