    DIVIDE AND RULE POLICY


    The divide and rule policy was adopted by the british in mid 18 th century during
    their colonial rule in India and this rule came to an end in 1947.The main goal of
    the Britishers was to create disturbance and divisions among the different ethinic
    and religious groups , they highlighted the religious and political differences
    between them which led to extreme chaos in the subcontinent.
    Muslims and the Hindus were entirely different from each other on the basis of
    their of religion,culture,language and due to these factors creating mutiny
    between them wasn’t a great deal for the Britishers.This plan was carried
    carefully and at last they succeded in dividing both groups even after they co
    existed for many years.The British had everything under their control including
    Indian media which allowed them to control and manipulate the minds of the
    common people.The Indian people were discriminated and they had no status in
    comparsion with the British.The Indians had no access to good jobs and they were
    given low wages.Other than this the education system was also in control of the
    British,majority of the hindus accepted this modern education system while the
    Indian muslims were in favour of deeni madrasas.
    Despite Indians being larger in quantity they still couldn’t freed themselves
    because they had no leader to lead them.Even after facing so much difficulties the
    Indian people stood together ,quit India movement brought many Indians
    together.The British had an advantage because of many religions in the
    subcontinent it would be easy for them to plant evil in the minds of the people
    and turn them against each other.Another example is of the languages,the
    Indians wanted Hindi to be the official language used in every procedure.As the
    Muslims normally spoke Urdu, this was very upsetting to them making the
    matters more bitter.
