Explanation:

• Option A: India's revolutionary leader (e.g., Nehru) was elected as a leader, but Vietnam did not assassinate its revolutionary leader (Ho Chi Minh). Ho Chi Minh died of natural causes.
• Option B: India did not invade surrounding countries, and Vietnam also did not isolate itself from neighbors.
• Option C: India split into India and Pakistan mainly due to religious (Hindu - Muslim) conflicts. Vietnam was split into North Vietnam (communist - led) and South Vietnam (anti - communist, with a more Western - influenced government) mainly due to political differences (Cold War - era ideological and geopolitical).
• Option D: India established a democratic government, and North Vietnam established a communist government.

Answer:

C. India split up because of religious conflicts, but Vietnam split up because of political differences.
