As the moderator Taimi said here... I can hardly remember anything anti Hindu in our curriculum except the FACT that the British obviously favored the Hindus above Muslims... There are a few good reasons for it... Firstly, Muslims were ruling India before the British... They obviously had hopes of regaining that rule from the British if and when such an opportunity came up... I actually dont blame the Hindus for aligning themselves with the British more easily than the Muslims... For Hindus it was just a shift from one ruler to another whereas for Muslims it was a much bigger shift of being a ruler to that of being ruled!!!!
As for the mid and late thirties... I m trying to remember at the top of my head but there were some elections in that time and an act had been passed in 1935... ML did not do well in those elections and as a result Congress which was dominated by the Hindus came to power... They did more than enough to disturb Muslim population that people started demanding Pakistan... Dont lecture me about how secular Congress was... Secularism in India as well as in the west is just a cover for the hate that enemies of Muslims use to justify their oppression...
Do a search on google... If you think that Muslims suddenly started talking about Pakistan because Congress in all its secularism was "nice" towards Muslims, you seriously need to re evaluate what you have been taught at school...
The anti-Muslim policies of the Congress ministries confirmed the Two-Nation theory and forced them to follow the League regarding their political rights. The anti-Muslim drive of the Congress governments created favourable atmosphere for the League leadership who had already been complaining of the cruel mentality of the Hindu majority towards the Muslims. The debate in the British Parliament on the anti-Muslim activities of the Congress ministries was discouraged for the reason that such debate might result in communal clashes in India. The avoidance of the subject by British Parliament ramified that there was something wrong on the part of the Congress ministries which could produce tension between the Muslim and non-Muslims. Jinnah passed a remark on the abuse of power by the Congress ministries that the Congress was like a poor man who had won a great deal of money in a lottery; that it was intoxicated with power. He also reiterated that ignoring the League by the Congress was not a reasonable policy. The Congress leadership would commit a greatest blunder if they thought that the constitutional problem would be solved without the consent of the League. He further warned that the Congress should respect the other parties if it sought some agreed solution to the on-going constitutional deadlock.
The Muslim faced several problems under the Hindu majority on the social issues and Congress rule on the political rights. Even the Hindus tried to get their number increased through false evidences. In January 1939, Hasan Nizami in an editorial wrote that the Congress considered the League as an impractical party and the Hindu-British patch-up against the League was evident. He suggested that Jinnah should focus on census of the Muslims. He explained that census was going to start shortly and the League could work against the irregularities expected in the census. The non-Muslim machinery was the real cause of such irregularities because the non-Muslim officials deliberately registered the Hindi language as the mother tongue of the Muslims which resulted in decrease of the Muslim voters.
