During the 1920s and 1930s which of the following reasons was responsible for growing tensions between the Hindus and the Muslims?

All of the above

The correct answer is Option 4 - All of the above

Option 1- Music-before-mosque
Option 2- Cow protection movement
Option 3- The rapid spread of Tabligh
Option 4- All of the above

During the 1920s and early 1930s tension grew around a number of issues. Muslims were angered by “music-before-mosque”, by the cow protection movement, and by the efforts of the Arya Samaj to bring back to the Hindu fold (shuddhi ) those who had recently converted to Islam. Hindus were endangered by the rapid spread of 'Tabligh' (propaganda) and 'Tanzim' (organisation) after 1923. As middle class publicists and communal activists sought to build greater solidarity within their communities, mobilising people against the other community, riots spread in different parts of the country. Every communal riot deepened differences between communities, creating disturbing memories of violence.
