In the 21st century, peace, harmony, and non-discrimination on the grounds of religion, race, and gender are almost becoming universal values. Though it must be highlighted that the communal divide that India has been facing since British times is not something that existed before.
In fact, going a few centuries back in time, when the Timurid prince Babur invaded northern India in 1526, was it not the case that he had attacked a Muslim ruler, Sultan Ibrahim Lodhi, and not a Hindu ruler? If Muslims were indeed a single nation, then why would Babur mount the attack? Being Muslim did not represent political unity. If they shared a common religion, history, social mores, and cultural values, why were Muslims unable to live in peace and harmony with each other? Was religion unable to bridge differences in ethnicity, language, culture, history, and geography?
