"When the Civil Disobedience Movement started there was an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust between communities." Why was it so?                

Answer:

Alienated from the Congress, large sections of Muslims could not respond to the call for a united struggle. Many Muslim leaders and intellectuals expressed their concern about the status of Muslims as a minority within India. They feared that the culture and identity of minorities would be submerged under the domination of a Hindu majority.
