there is nothing to worry about. India has always been a secular country/land from time immemorial. The idea of muslim hindu division is of recent times, starting from british rule.

India has been ruled for many centuries by muslims and christians (british).

The idea of a Hindu Muslim division predates the British rule. It has been in existence since the later Mughals[1] (Aurangzeb and his successors).
