Explanation:
The answer to this question is quite easy but to explain it is quite difficult.
In 1857 the army fought as a secular unit as one, we had the emperor as the leader of all and he was a Muslim while Tantya Tope and Rani Lakshmi bai fought and they were Hindu. Similarly sometime the leaders were Hindu and soldiers were muslim and vice versa.
After this revolt the Britishers realised that united Indians would stand in front of them and divided they would fall so here comes the plan of dividing population into Hindus and Muslims.
During the reign of Mughals, Muslims were a political class but with the advent of beitishers, they went deep inside the pit they dug for themselves and remained uneducated. Though British provided equal opportunities for both the Muslims never took it and Hindus were becoming affluent.
After 1857 the first policy was to give extra treats like job and prefer Muslims on some matters just to spike the Hindus.
The hai subsidy, reservation in politics, communal award and the biggest partition of bengal were all the tactics used by the British.
To add fuel to the fire we had Mahatma Gandhi accepting the khilafat movement which was purely religious into national movement of satyagraha this widened the rift and jinaah broke of from Congress.
In 1906 also the formation of Muslim league led to the foundation of Muslim league and the basis of this was to ask for more rights for Muslims and basically be a Britishers pet.
During the time a famous muslim person sir Syed Ahmed Khan tried to persuade the Muslims to unite with Hindus and then he himself propagated that Hindus and Muslims are two countries.
Britishers created a cut, we made it scar!!
