I agree with you that this divide has been there for very long time and nothing to do with the west.
But, I referred them here because, we, Indians, had learnt about it from the west, I mean British. Their idea to control India was to "Divide and Rule". They divided the nation by religious sentiments, Muslim and Hindu and then, when we were busy fighting ourselves..the Brits were doing whatever they wanted to do. The effect was so bad that we couldn't continue as one country even after independance and we split into 2 (India and Pakistan) and we are still fighting each other.
Alright, I agree with you that this reference is out of context here..My appoligies.
