No, the treatment of Muslims by the British after 1857 was not justified at all. Even though other communties also suffered because of the consequences of the War of Independence, Muslims were treated especially brutally. As the British knew that India was mainly taken from Muslims and they feared that they would take it back from them. They also thought that Muslims were 'not trustworthy' and recruited men from mostly from other groups. Other than that Muslims were not offered high profile job opportunities. Although no Indian had good jobs in the
government most of them belonged to Hindus studied from 'English type' schools. The British kept the Muslims illiterate, to keep Muslims from gaining public office and withdrew funding from Muslim schools and Muslim education declined.
A well-known British historian of India wrote at the time:
"There is scarcely a Government office in Calcutta in which a Muslim can hope for any post above the rank of a porter, messenger, filler of inkpots or mender of posts."
Thus the Muslims suffered due to the British rule and unjustly deprived of their rights.
This way they not only separated the Muslim community from the Hindus they also helped in dividing these communities and causing social dislike among eachothet.

∙ 10y ago"The Muslims" and "after 1857" are very nebulous terms that can refer to an incredible variety of British conduct. If the question is narrowed to "South Asian Muslims" and "during the colonization of British India from 1857-1947", then, it is answerable.
No. The treatment of all the colonized peoples in British India, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, etc. was very problematic and incredibly vile. Villages were massacred and resistance was summarily eliminated. This is not to say that British colonization in India prior to 1857 and the Sepoy Mutiny was acceptable, but after 1857, it worsened.

No, the British had added fuel to the fire hence creating more sense of dispute and hatred between the two communities which led to constant bloodshed and fights between them. The British attitude towards all colonized Indians was always based on illness. To this day we are mentally living in the same place where the British had directed us towards, towards hatred. We still are not able to accept one another unknowingly that we have great similarities and differences should not come between this relationship.

How did war of 1857 affect the relationship of the British with the Muslims and Hindus?
The war of 1857 led to many corrections of the mistakes of the British. When the British asked the Hindus and Muslims to join them, the Hindus shake the hands with them but the Muslims didn't support them. Due to this reason the British considered Muslims only responsible for the war of 1857 but there were many different people who took part in the war. However, the Hindus took many advantages from the British moving ahead in their lives.
