roots of communalism deep in indian sub continent

communal feeling in india emerged to maximum in British period. the Britishers created this feeling and used this as a weapon to invade india. people not realized the fact and it entered deeply in the minds of people. the wise tactfully highlighted and pointed some issues to yhe people of india,they knew that Indians of all religions are very sensitive in religious matters. still many political people and others are taking advantage of it. they have divided people on the base of caste creed and religion,and enjoying by applying this formula.
so coming on the main topic and my concern is that common is unaware of facts,and very few have an opportunity to go through old literature,news papers,journals,events recordings films etc. many can be found in archives,indian records London.national libraries,college and university libraries. much can be found with personal collections.
there are many reasons due to which communal ism advantage was taken. the biggest advantage is partition of india. though m.a. Jinnah was called communal in public and demanded Pakistan for personal ambitions, but her daughter was non communal she married a non Muslim. the brave rajputs joined hand with Moguls due to which only Akbar had a big dynasty. maximum high posts were occupied by Hindus in mogul rule,even in the time of Aurangzeb. this was never highlighted that Aurangzeb put will that after death his tomb should be roofless and tulsi plant to be planted on its grave. nobody tells that Babur use to get rakhi tied every year by a Hindu queen. there are many historical facts if highlighted can create communal harmony. we are still reading history framed by Britishers for their advantage. it is true that Mahmud ghaznabi demolished many temples for wealth because those days also their was immense wealth in temples ,the greed of it made him to come to india many times. t5hese days also many temples and dargahs have lot of wealth like holy tirupati ajmer Ki dargah etc. the wealth always attracted such places. but nobody never wrote that Akbar gave properties to many temples,even Aurangzeb gave many villages to a temple in mathura. maulana Abdul kalam azad tried to save such documents,he came to agra to collect many from agra college agra and s.m.a.o. college and afterwards he sent prints of such documents,hope they must be save with college central library. sometimes many show themselves communal to gain attention or favour. their are many incidences published in then news papers. those days people use to rely only on paper news . a prime minister of that time after few years of independence before taking over the states was in the palace of then maharaja ,somebody from court asked why all Muslims were not moved from india,instead of telling the fact he told that the work of low quality who will do that-job. many Muslims showed there willingness to join and demand for Pakistan and 40% wanted to be with congress not with Muslim league in which frontier Gandhi and his party and many other leaders supported congress. Gandhiji was in not of favour of Pakistan but the ego and ambitions of some could not let to any solution or agreement. if any body else besides Mr. Nehru or Mr. Jinnah must have been selected the story must have been different .and the tactics of Britishers that indian sub continent may not emerge as powerful nation became true due to communal-ism. so in the end i would like to say that to be firm on your religion and faith is good but not at the cost of division of society and people. nobody should play for achieving something for personal benefit . hope for some improvement in this area and all will take initiative to to bring awareness and people to know the reality and facts......
