    British colonialism bad. Get that out of the way first.

    But conflict along ethnic and regional lines has been occurring in India, between Hindus, for a LONG time.

      Let’s list the effects of British Colonalism

      • High taxation on local products and agriculture leading to indentured servitude.
      • Ending royal patronage of artisans causing mass unemployment.
      • Artificial famines as foodgrains exported to Europe during European wars.
      • Labelling of particular tribes or ethnicity criminals for perpetuity.
      • Forcing puritism on ethnic populations.

      And yes. Religious and ethnic problems were already here but Brits exacerbated it.

        There are documented wars older than the country of Britain.
