In the 19th century, the British began to categorize Indians by religious identity— a gross simplification of the communities in India. They counted Hindus as “majorities” and all other religious communities as distinct “minorities,” with Muslims being the largest minority. Sikhs were considered part of the Hindu community by everyone but themselves. In elections, people could only vote for candidates of their own religious identity. These practices exaggerated differences, sowing distrust between communities that had previously co-existed.
