Strong FF.



Look at that throne! I bet they had to pry him out of it.

Assuming that is the throne of the Viceroy of India, he probably couldn't get out of it soon enough.  He was a horrible Viceroy and if I were judging him on just that I would have called him a Max HP rather than a Lean HP.

That was part of Mountbatten's problem, but not only did he get Britain out of India too fast, I think South Asia would have been better served by not being united into two religiously oriented states, but split up into smaller linguistically oriented states.  Granted, Hindistan would be the elephant in the room, as it would have been the largest state by far, and it would have been landlocked, but it could have been done and likely with far less bloodshed, but it would have meant the British would have had to stay longer and grant independence to different parts of the subcontinent at different times.
