Your answer would be B). Hindus and Muslims in the colony of India could not resolve their religious differences.
The conflicts that caused India to be divided into two independent countries was because Hindus and Muslims in the colony of India could not resolve their religious differences.
Explanation:
The reason why "B). Hindus and Muslims in the colony of India could not resolve their religious differences" is the correct answer because there has been a huge debate between the Hindus and Muslims to determine what religion should mainly be in India. And they didn't agree on each others religions.
The Hindus believed that their religion should be the dominant in India, but the Muslims thought otherwise. Religion is a big thing for the Hindus and Muslims, and they wanted to be in a place where the majority of its people are practicing the religion they are practicing. This led to India being divided into two different countries. They split into two different countries because they couldn't solve the religion in the colony, in other words, they didn't like the other beliefs of the other people other than theirs. The Muslims took of Pakistan, while the Hindus took over the east and central part of India. They split into two different countries so that they could practice their own religion without having to worry about another religion being practiced in their land. This conflict between them about religion has being going on for a long time, pretty much centuries.
