Muslims and Hindus have had conflicts in India primarily over religious differences and political power. These conflicts often revolve around the status and treatment of religious minorities, such as the demolition of the Babri Masjid mosque in Ayodhya in 1992, or intercommunal riots during periods of heightened tensions. These conflicts highlight the deep-rooted religious and political divisions in the country.

What were the causes of hindus Muslims separation in 18th century?
although not to be racist many people think that only because Muslims and hindus are the same colour they are the same... but really from the inside they're definitely not! Pakistan once used to be a part of India but once the Islam nation grew they fought with the hindus for a part of India's land. the Muslims won, and named their new peice of land, Pakistan. over the years hindus and Muslims fought and fought... until a border was built to separate India from Pakistan- visa versa. Hindus lived in India , Muslims came to India and conquered about 60% of land inspite of this both lived harmoniously for many years but then came a Muslim emperor Aurangzeb his thinking was similar to todays Taliban . He wanted to convert every Indian into a Muslim , thus gradually resentment towards Muslims grew in India as they used force for conversion and destroyed various Hindu temples ( just as Taliban destroyed the bamiyan Buddha statue in Afghanistan). The resentment between the two has kept on growing since then.
How did relationships between Hindus and Muslims envelop over time?
Hindu and Muslims are two very different nations and Islam and Hinduism are totally different Religions, infact totally opposite. There was so much fire and hatred between two nations for many reasons. For instance... Muslims believe in One GOD, Hindus believe in ten of thousands... Hindus think they are the BEST and Purest persons on earth and Muslims are impure, Hindus used to treat them very bad. Muslims eat beef, Hindus worship cows and think her as holy mother. So when Muslim used to slaughter cows for meat in India, it was a unforgiveable sin for Hindus. Hindus (Indian Nations) were always under foreign attacks and have been ruled by foreigners most of their history. Muslims ruled over them too for almost 1000 years, so when British take over India by ending Muslim rule, naturally Hindus had so much hate for the ruling Muslims.

What was the source of tension between Hindus and Muslims in India?
The Muslim rules in India viewed themselves as foreign conquerors. They tried to maintain a strict separation between the Muslim ruling class and the mass of the Hindus population. Muslim rules in India were intolerant of other faiths. Conflict between Hindus and Muslims started in early 20th Century with Pan-Islamism. The British aided the divide by partitioning India and Pakistan. In 1971, Pakistan lost Bangladesh because of ethnic reasons in which India helped Bangladesh. To take revenge the Pakistani army and its intelligence wing, ISI, carries out terrorist acts in India and foments conflicts between Hindus and Muslims. Many a times, these conflicts are created by politicians to garner votes.
