Britishers made Hindus and Muslims fight by creating misconceptions among them, said Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on September 06. Speaking at a symposium on the topic of 'Rashtra Pratham - Rashtra Sarvopari' in Mumbai, the RSS Chief said that Britishers told Muslims that they won't get anything if they decided to live with Hindus.

“They (Britishers) created a misconception. They told Hindus that Muslims are extremists. They made both the communities fight. As a result of that fight and trust deficit, both have been talking about keeping a distance from each other. We need to change our vision,” said Bhagwat.
