उत्तर
The British Government that looked at the Muslims with suspicion after the Revolt of 1857, and favoured the Hindus changed its attitude after the events of 1870. The Government grew apprehensive of the rise of Indian nationalism. It felt doubtful about the safety and stability of the British rule in India. The wave of national unity and patriotism led the British Government to adopt the policy of ‘Divide and Rule’. The British Government encouraged the Muslims of India to demand separate electorate for Muslim representation. In this way the British Government hook upon itself the role of the champion of the Muslims.
