The disagreement between different religions in India is not clear pre-independence. It is clear how much of the opposition was between ruling class and the ruled class but I am not sure how much of that was purely due to religion.
Hence, it is not clear how much role the fruitfulness of division of India in 1947 has played or continues to play in current situation.
It is not clear how much “appeasement” done by Rajiv Gandhi in Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum 1985 was due to his willingness to exploit the division and how much was in defense of existing divisions.
It is clear that Shah Bano case had clear impact on Hindus by making them feel alienated.
It is clear that VHP is RSS’s wing and part of its political strategy. Same for Bajrang Dal.
It is clear that BJP leadership was very deeply involved in executing RSS’s plan.
I suspect Atal Bihari Vajpayee was more involved in the demolition of Babri Masjid that he lets on.
It is clear that VHP and RSS were closely monitoring the guiding Karsevaks for the goal of demolition of the Masjid.
I suspect Ram’s birth place has gotten more importance after the Masjid than ever before.
I suspect Ram as a god was not as important to majority people than he has become now.
It is clear that Modi is narcissist who has landed the formula of being a prime minister while there is no or weak opposition.
It is clear that technology is shaping the social structure in a manner that is illiberal and some people are being suffocated more because of it.
It is not clear if they are being suffocated more than the ancient past, though. So I would say the impact of technology has been regressive.
