    What I found out:


    I really want to know the difference of Hindus and Muslims to know the
    reasons why they both dont get along with each other. Muslims
    respect in one god, but Hindus respect in many gods. Muslims believe
    everyone is equal, but Hindus have classes. The conflict increases the
    violent when the British announce the partition. They fought over
    Kashmir and threatened each other by nuclear until nowadays.
