Answer:

The strategy of DIvide and Rule was adopted by Lord Minto. The British Government anticipating danger from the side of Indians in near future because of the growth of unity under the spell of nationalism decided to apply the policy of ' Divide and Rule' to break the unity of the people. Lord Minto decided to use the Indian Muslims against the Hindus and against the Congress.

Viceroy Lord Curzon had expressed it clearly in 1901, “As long as we rule India, we are the greatest power in the world. If we lose it we shall drop straightway to a third rate power”. Quite early, British realized that as long as they adroitly exploited the religious, linguistic and historical divisions that marked Indian society they were relatively safe.
