The relationship between Hinduism and Islam are that the Hinduism is a group of religious traditions, established over a period of time, through revelations received by innumerable saints, seers, incarnations and emanations of God. Islam derives its name from its central doctrine of peace and submission to God. It is a religion founded by a prophet.
The two beliefs in their own way have similarities. Both religions accept God as being the Supreme Being and Absolute Lord of the universe. They also acknowledge that God responds to prayers, the God recues the faithful in times of distress, but just as they have similarities, they also have different ways on doing things.
Hindus have to bear the blame for escalating the competition into conflict by using their numbers to oppress the Muslims during the era of self-rule between 1935-39. Neither one of the groups could trust each other to rule over them, and the hatred ensured that the new nations of Pakistan and India would be enemies of each other.
