Abstract

Since the British colonial period there has been controversy regarding how Muslims viewed Hindus in India. Since the British followed the policy of divide and rule, they distorted history and created conflict between the two major communities in India. The Hindu leaders (particularly of communal orientation) began to propagate the view that Muslim rulers and âu-lama treated Hindus as kafirs and humiliated them by converting them by force and destroyed their temples. This is a rather simplistic view of a complex problem.

Different rulers pursued different policies which suited their interests. Their policies were based on their politics, not on their religion. They would invoke religion to justify their policy but did not base their policies on religious terachings. The Muslim theologians (âulama) also differed on such issues. The sufis of the Chishtiya school were very open to other religions, particularly towards Hindus. They not only interacted with them but also adopted many of their practices. The sufis were much more popular among the Muslim population than the âulama who tended to be too legalistic in their approach. Some âulama were quite liberal and refrained from denouncing Hindus as kafirs, even though many did. The issue should be seen in its complexity.
