These situations have lead me to think that the best idea might just be letting nature run its course and let the stronger side decide things.

Britain didn’t support the partition of India. They actively opposed it until a key election gave the partition party in India all the leverage it needed to force it
Britain didn’t do the second partition either. The United Nations did
So 0 for 2

Ah this again.
Reminder, the partition of India happened because All India Muslim League’s petition plus rampant religious violence on the streets. What British actually preferred was a whole deal so India could become an effective buffer against USSR.
Also, judging by the religious tension in current South Asia, I bet we would blame UK for not participationing India should they choose differently.

They eventually learned from it. They had governed North Sudan and South Sudan separately, but decided to give them independence as one big Sudan. No problems, afaik.
