Answer

The British encouraged communalism in India in the following two ways:

  1. In 1905, they tried to justify the partition of Bengal by telling the Muslims that Bengal was being partitioned to create a new Muslim majority province where the Hindus would not be able to subvert their interests.
  2. The Morley-Minto Reforms of 1909 introduced the principle of communal representation in the legislatures.
