tribes, especially in ancient civilizations, are important for families and neighbors to grow close, and for communities to protect each other. But their are downsides to this idea of the tribe. tribes are not very connected with other tribes, they have not alot of skills for working with each other. they all have different customs, different beliefs, and different opinions.  because of this, when islam brings these tribes together, they can't communicate because of their differences. Also many lower tribes were looked down upon by higher ones, and this went against Muhammad's teachings. when Muhammad's power needed to be passed on, these different opinions flared up, and fights broke out. Muslims broke up into the Sunnis and the Shiites, who still fight today. The Sunnis believe that the power should go to whoever was taught by Muhammad, and the Shiites think that the power should go through his bloodline. This idea also relates back to one of the tribes traditions which is that many small fights will elevate and last for generations. In conclusion, because of tribes and the concept of the tribe in islamic history, the muslim people are broken in two.

India is a very peaceful place. There are many reasons for why they are so peaceful, but in my opinion, it is mainly its rich Hindu and Buddhist history. The powerful empire of the Guptas was Hindu, and the empire of the Mauryas, ruled by Ashoka, was Buddhist. At many times, there were Buddhists, Hinduism and Jainists living right next to each other. Because of this, they were forced to be accepting of each others opinions. These religions focused on self control, living without desire, and peace. All three of these religions became popular throughout the world and are still today. An example of one who practices Hinduism, is Ghandi. He believed in standing up for what you believe for, but to use nonviolence. He spread his teachings throughout the world. he protested the apartheid in south Africa, and he peacefully fought for India's independence. Ghandi said,"There are many causes that I am prepared to die for, but no cause that I am prepared to kill for." If Ghandi wasn't From India, and didn't practice Hinduism, then he wouldn't be a person who is as insightful and peaceful as he was, and India wouldn't be as peaceful as it is today.
