Detailed explanation-1: -During the 1947 partition there was religious violence between Muslim-Hindu, Muslim-Sikhs and Muslim-Jains on a gigantic scale. Hundreds of religious riots have been recorded since then, in every decade of independent India.
Detailed explanation-2: -Likewise, conflict between ostensibly Hindu and Muslim kings was not about religion – it was only about land, gold, or politics. The traditional story expounded by India’s leaders and public intellectuals is that religious tolerance stands at the core of Indian history.
Detailed explanation-3: -India witnessed its worst communal riots in 1948 after the partition. Noakhali in Bengal and several villages of Bihar were the worst hit. The first major riots between Hindus and Muslims after the bloodshed of partition in 1947 occurred in Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh in 1961.
Detailed explanation-4: -The dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir was sparked by a fateful decision in 1947, and has resulted in decades of violence, including two wars. Since 1947, India and Pakistan have been locked in conflict over Kashmir, a majority-Muslim region in the northernmost part of India.
