Indian sub-continent analogy doesn't work here.
There is very strict hard border between India and Pakistan. If anyone tries to cross he will be shot first and asked question later.
Only similarity is Hindu vs Muslim instead of Protestant vs Catholic. I can understand in a developing/under developed country people fighting over religions but how come in a developed country like UK people still fight on religion? Is protestant vs catholic fight as bad as Shia vs Sunni?
NI and Ireland have different currencies, different tax system, different rules and they are all happy with that and but only a border will cause trouble?
If local people want to cross border without checking there could be automatic passport scans like RFID/other technology etc. Ireland/EU and UK likely to have very similar goods/hygiene standard - so that should not be a problem transfering goods across border.
My point is that Ireland border issue is being used as an excuse to prevent Brexit from happening rather than trying to find a solution for it.
