Hindu-Muslim relations

Hindu-Muslim relations refer to the interactions and historical dynamics between the two largest religious communities in India. These relations have been shaped by centuries of coexistence, cultural exchange, and occasional conflict. While there have been periods of harmony, such as during the Mughal era, tensions have risen due to political, social, and economic factors, particularly during the British colonial period and post-independence, culminating in communal riots and debates over identity. Efforts for communal harmony continue, emphasizing mutual respect and understanding amidst diversity in beliefs and practices.
