Hindu-Muslim relations refer to the interactions and dynamics between the two major religious communities in India. Historically, these relations have been shaped by a mix of cooperation, cultural exchange, and conflict. Both communities have coexisted for centuries, contributing to the rich tapestry of Indian culture, art, and traditions. However, tensions have also arisen due to political, social, and economic factors. Events such as the Partition of India in 1947 and various communal riots have strained relations at times. Efforts continue to promote dialogue and understanding, aiming for peaceful coexistence and mutual respect between Hindus and Muslims.
