Hindus and Muslims coexisted in the sub-continent well enough before the Brits arrived. There was always tension, same as anywhere else that has millions of people of different ethnicities living together, but the Brits applied the typical divide and conquer technique of all colonial powers and spent 2 centuries prying at those religious divides. There's a reason that the most famous building in India was built by a Muslim.
