Why doen't Gandhi want India to split into two nations?

Gandhi wanted an India that was whole and united. In the beginning both Muslims and Hindus lived in India and coexisted despite very different beliefs. He believed in non-violence and peace between all races. One large country would be better than two divided countries. Especially since that is what the British wanted to do. Divide the states of India and then conquer. If the two native nations could work together it would be beneficial to both. But divided they would be weaker and complications and contest would arise and mixed emotions towards the other religion would be generated.
