If someone starts pinning the (continued) deaths due to the disturbance of social customs and divide-and-rule by the British (Also account for the partition). It may far surpass it

Specifically the ahistorical division of the local population into two competing tribes by the Belgian colonial government. Divide-and-rule is a long standing tradition because it prevents the colonized from unifying and rising up against the colonizers by giving one group preferential treatment over the others.
