Answer
(II) is the reason for (I)
Explanation — Statement (I) is true because British and communal historians did not accept the idea that Indian culture was a composite culture, formed by the combined contributions of different communities.
Statement (II) is also true. They wrongly treated Indian society as divided mainly on religious lines and failed to see that much of India’s diversity was actually regional and caste-based.
Because of this mistaken view, they ignored the concept of a shared or composite Indian culture.
Therefore, Statement (II) is the reason for Statement (I).
