What were the causes of hindus Muslims separation in 18th century?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The root causes were unjustice and intolerance. Hindus wanted to gain back their role in the society which was taken by the Muslims upon invasiion and thus they and the britishers joined hand and overthrew the Muslim kings and took over.
