Religion as ethno descriptor wields deep rooted impacts on its followers. Traditionally, the religion has been regarded by the people as a means of ethical uplift of the individuals, enabling them to maintain and develop better relations with others. Religion continued its role as a source of spiritual refinement of individuals until the modern political methods began to demand allegiance to political groups for gaining maximum share of state’s resources. Majority of people still believe that religion must not be made a bone of contention. In this article detailed analysis of the term ‘religious ethnicity’, in general and the background to the germination of religious ethnicity among the Indian Muslims in particular has been taken in to account. The article will enable us better understand the terminology and the sowing of religiously based seeds of ethnic feelings among the Indian Muslims. The same seeds ultimately flowered in to the partition of India in 1947 between two religious ethnic groups, the Hindus and the Muslims creating the first state of the modern history based on religious ethnicity
