HINDU-MUSLIM UNITY
That unity is strength is not merely a copybook maxim but a rule of life is in no case so clearly illustrated as in the problem of Hindu-Muslim unity. Divided we must fall. Any third power may easily enslave India so long as we Hindus and Mussulmans ae ready to cut each others’ throats. Hindu-Muslim unity means not unity only between Hindus and Mussulmans but between all those who believe India to be their home, no matter to what faith they belong.
I am fully aware that we have not yet attained that unity to such an extent as to bear any strain. It is a daily-growing plant, as yet in delicate infancy, requiring special cure and attention. The thing became clear in Nellore when the problem confronted me in a concrete shape. The relations between the two were none too happy. They fought only about two years ago over the question of playing music whilst passing mosques. I hold that we may not dignify every trifle into a matter of deep religious importance. Therefore n Hindu may not insist on playing music whilst passing a mosque. He may not even quote precedents in his own or any other place for the sake of playing music. It is not a matter of vital importance for him to play music whilst passing a mosque. One can easily appreciate the Mussulman sentiment of having solemn silence near a mosque the whole of the twenty-four hours. What is a non-essential to a Hindu may be an essential to a Mussalman. And in all non-essential matters a Hindu must yield for the asking. It is criminal folly to quarrel over trivialities. The unity we desire will last only if we cultivate a yielding and a charitable disposition towards one another. The cow is as dear as life to a Hindu; the Mussulman should therefore voluntarily accommodate his Hindu brother. Silence at his prayer is a precious thing for a Mussulman.

Answer:
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. In 1940 the All-India Muslim League under the leadership of Jinnah disclosed its desire for its own state called Pakistan, meaning “land of the pure.” This brought some sort of unrest between the two religions. On August 16, 1946 Muslim League demand for separate Muslim state. This is the day when thousands of Muslims and Hindus clashed fiercely. The British took the advantage of this unrest and divided the country into two religions on the lines of the two religions. On midnight, August 14, 1947 Pakistan got its independence, the very next day India celebrated its own. Before-leaving the •British sowed the seed of hatred between the two religions. A separate state of Pakistan did not solve the conflict between Hindus and Muslims; the ugly problem of hatred still remained. Violence seems to be the only solution for these two religions when we took the various incidents that happened between the two religions. This violence has been continued over the last few decades by various incidents. The incident, which still flashes in the memory, was the demolition of the Babri Masjid mosque in Ayodhya. Hindu groups claim that the site that the mosque was the birthplace of Ram. .
eg: 1) bihar Muslims donate land to build worlds largest Hindu temple
2) muslim family adopts children of deceased hindu friend and wants to raise then as hindu
