  • Abstract:
  • The rise and growth of trend of communalism can be traced back to preindependent India attributed to British policy of divide and rule. The imperial leaders used this weapon to raise one community against the other on the basis of Hindu and Muslim religious identity to stay in power. The British rulers always siding the Muslims and opposing the Hindus created a discard between them. This policy ultimately led to the partition of India. The Muslim league under the leadership of Mohd. Ali Jinnah demanded creation of a new nation on the basis of religion; the dream was realized in the year 1947. India had been divided into two, India and Pakistan.
