Did the British stoke religious division in India during this time and, if so, how?(1 point)

Question

a. The British did not stoke religious divisions, only divisions between people who were European and people who weren’t. They did this by oppressing anyone who wasn’t European.

b. The British began divisions between Muslim and Hindu groups that hadn’t existed before by partitioning areas to separate Muslim and Hindu populations. This directly led to the Amritsar Massacre.

c. Despite all the cruelties the British committed, they at least tried to play down religious divisions. Unfortunately, this didn’t work and ultimately led to the Amritsar Massacre.

d. The British widened divisions that already existed between Muslim and Hindu groups by partitioning areas to separate Muslim and Hindu populations.
