How was the creation of Israel similar to the establishment of an independent India? How was it different?

Some similarities:

both countries received their independence from the British, after a period of their opposition to the British Rule, and the independence was possible because the UK was weakened by the War.

In both countries there were two religious communities, one of them Muslims, who were in conflict with the other community. Both lands ended up being divided among those two communities.

Some differences are that in the case of India, the partition, although many people died, was successful and India and Pakistan are two independent countries, while Palestine/Israel still experience some issues.
