The article, “How to read the popular will” (June 29), reminded me of what W.W. Hunter, in his book The Indian Musalmans , once said — that India wouldn’t be able to survive as single country even for a decade owing to its vast diversity and divergent views of the people. After Brexit, this seems ironic as it is the United Kingdom that seems to be in turmoil even as the European Union is making it amply clear that the breakup has to be very quick.
