Five modern countries were considered to a part of British India: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Maldives.

The original partition of India divided it into two countries: Indian and Pakistan. When people talk about India splitting into two countries, they are referring to the Partition of 1947 where the majority of British India was split into two newly independent countries: India and Pakistan

The modern country Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan between 1947-1971, until it became independent.

Sri Lanka remained under quasi-autonomous British control during the 1947 partition and became an independent country in 1948. Maldives also remained under British control after partition, and became an independent country in 1982.

Pakistan was a part of India before the British rule. I believe Nepal was formed out of India, but I am not sure. Otherwise, India and Pakistan used to be a part of "India."
