Question

how did the British created a rift between the different religious

Answer 1

They use a policy " Divide and rule"

Answer 2

The British Government knew that if they are able to create a rift between the different religions then they will be able to rule in India without a problem.

They used the divide and rule procedure to create violence between various religions especially between Hindu and Muslims.

Most Muslims refrained from studying in English schools and hence Hindus were made to feel superior to them.

It created a division of class.
