Tilak was born in 1856.

Sir Syed Ahmed Khan wrote in 1876 how Hindus and Muslims couldn't co exist.

Read something first.
This was in 1886. Lokmanya Tilak was 29 years old. Four years before he joined the Congress.
The Muslim League was established in 1908. For safeguarding Muslim political interests.

A retaliatory Hindu organization came 10 years later.

The Hindu Sabha. Guess who blessed it ?
Muslim league came first, Hindu Sabha later.

Khilafat movement came first, RSS later.

Demand for Pakistan came first, Hindu rashtra later.

A luminary called Rizvi demanded Muslims should be 3x Hindus in Congress.

Congress was derided as a Hindu organization from 1886.
This did not cause partition but Tilak did 🤣
Blaming the Hindu Right for partition is a special self flaggelation talent.
