Question

How did language become associated with the politics of religious identities?

Solution

With the emergence of communal riots and conflicts, Hindi and Urdu started going apart. Hindi was the language of the Hindus and Urdu was the language of the Muslims. Hindi was being purged of Persian and Arabic words. On the other hand, Urdu was being Persianised. Thus language became associated with the politics of religious identities.
