A notable increase does not imply a large amount of violence. And personally I doubt that India had less sectarian violence in the past; it was just covered less dramatically.

Truly, you and I operate with different definitions of "peaceful coexistence" if yours has room for tribal discrimination and sectarian violence.
I agree there, and lacking any concrete data, it's better to not pass off opinion or speculation as fact.
For quite a lot of the sectarian violence, I blame the government and the political parties for having policies that favour some castes over others, and for being soft on sectarian violence. Moreover we, in the middle class, who lead lives far away from politics, are largely isolated from these shenanigans.
