Solution

As the definition goes, Communalism is an ideology that divides states (people, groups of people, or communities) on the basis of ethnicity, religion, beliefs, values, etc.

  • India is a land of multiple faiths and religions, leading often to violence and hatred among the people. Those who fan this religious violence do not consider religion as a moral order but use it as a means and weapon to pursue their political ambitions.
  • Communalism, in a broad sense, means a strong attachment to one’s own community. In a popular discourse in India, it is understood as an unhealthy attachment to one’s own religion.
  • Communalism, in the Indian context, is most commonly perceived form as the phenomenon of religious differences between groups that often leads to tension and even rioting between them.
