Is it lackof knowledge of Moslems caste and sects or just simple divide and rule policy against Hindus only. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
British used to make a difference between Hindus in the congress party and Hindus outside of the congress party.
The difference being that the Congress party was actually a social engineered group of Indians mostly Macualysed which were brainwashed to have similar world view. They started the brainwashing right from 1885 for the elite of the soceity and Indian elite were given the impression that they were the leading group for the struggle for independence of India.
The "caste Hindus" term was for those Hindus who were outside this elite group but were seen as too militant/independent or unable to be controlled by the British. It means independent minded and nationalists or Bharatiya. The political terms of communal and secular was not invented yet for the Indians in those times. Indians will be fooled later after independence.
Members of Hindu Mahasabha, INA, RSS were considered caste hindus since they wanted total independence with civilizational identity.
To break this nationalist group and fragment India the British secretly supported Jinnah and the Muslim league and only negotiated with Gandhi/Nehur Congress for transfer of power and the British power created an image of neutral party in the dispute between Congress and Muslim League. British made sure that the terms of independence and transfer of power was in such a way that the 'caste Hindus' will never get political power and will be disbanded, brainwashed and destroyed from the Indian soceity (over time).
THe reason Churchill lost the election after the worl war was that If elected the relationship between British and Jinnah would be public and would have damaged British image. British depended on the Muslim officers of the Indian army after WWII for stability in India. The British PM Atlee insited that Nehru become the first PM of India since Nehru was a engineered child of the British moulded by them for the role of leading India after independence as a proxy dominon state.
