Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:The discord that exists between Hindus and Muslims date back to the 16th century. The harmony between these two groups was ruined due to the abrasive Muslim rule that exists at the end of the 17th century.

With the fall of the Mughal Dynasty the Indian subcontinent was exposed to intruders. With the onset of the British rule both Hindus and Muslims came together and fought against British rule.

Hindus and Muslims were refused high-ranking jobs in the government and the military due to which tension increased between the two factions. The Indian National Congress had been-formed. The Indian National Congress comprised all religions but was dominated by Hindus. Citizens of India raises demand for equal rights and freedom from colonial rule.

In the earlier stages of freedom struggle Hindus and Muslims rose together in a non-violence resistance lead by the head of the Indian National Congress, Mohandas K. Gandhi against the British rule. To destroy this resistance the British transferred some political power and more equal representation to the Indian National Congress.

Later on Muslim leaders lead by M.A. Jinnah, felt that the Indian National Congress, which was dominated by Hindus, was making all the choices for British-ruled India and had a opinion that it was not taking any Muslim leaders in the decision-making process. The Muslim leaders had an opinion that in order to protect the heritage of Islam, they must have their own state to rule over.
