Abstract
This study investigates the impact of religious identity on political mobilization through a comparative analysis of Hindu and Muslim leadership in British colonial India. The objective is to understand how religiously inspired political movements emerged and their implications on identity construction and political processes. The background highlights the significance of religious identity in shaping political strategies and the need to fill gaps in comparative literature. Methodologically, the research employs archival research, oral testimonies, and cross-temporal comparisons to identify patterns and divergences in political actions. The results reveal that both Hindu and Muslim leaders utilized religious symbols and ideologies to mobilize support, with Hindu leaders merging religious and nationalist sentiments, while Muslim leaders focused on asserting Muslim identity. The study recommends adopting a multi-dimensional analytical approach to understand the complexities of historical processes, which can provide valuable insights into contemporary communal dynamics and the role of religious identity in political trajectories.
