Kashmir protests, Source: The Jakarta Post
Although the partition happened almost 75 years ago, Pakistan and India, Hindus and Muslims, have retained considerable animosity towards each other. For instance, the fight over Kashmir has been an ongoing conflict between the two countries since the partition itself. Kashmir remains the most heavily militarized zone to this day. Pakistan argues that the majority Muslim state should go to Pakistan, whereas the Indians believe the birthplace of Nehru is their sacred land. It is in fact illegal in India to use or print a map that doesnt show the region of Jammu and Kashmir as an Indian state.
The destruction of the Babri Masjid, Source: Scroll In
In 1980, disputes were held over the Babri Masjid mosque built over the sacred birthplace of Ram, a Hindu deity, in Ayodhya. India’s leading political power illegally gave permission to destroy the mosque and build a Hindu temple on top of that ground. This caused a wave of Hindu-Muslim riots and even spread as far as Pakistan and Bangladesh.

In 2002, Muslim extremists burned a train carrying Hindu pilgrims in Godhra, Gujarat. In an act to contain the influx of Muslim immigrants from Afghanistan, current prime minister (governor of Gujarat in 2002), Narendra Modi imposed a restriction on Muslim citizenship. Refugees were forced to prove refugee status to highly prejudiced Hindu officers, and were deported if they failed. Hindu immigrants, however, automatically acquired citizenship.
