Reasons of communalism :
Two reasons of communalism are as follows:
- Politics of appeasement : Governments accept all demands-proper or otherwise-of a particular group or class, providing certain privileges and thus causing animosity and jealousy in other communities. Such favours give birth to tension among different communities on account of a particular one being given privileges under appeasement policy. Such privileges are taken as granted by the community and as such, a wave of discontent rips through the other classes.
- Vote-bank policy : Some political parties extend their consent to all the steps / initiatives taken by a particular class for the sake of their votes and this favouratism opens a gateway to other parties to follow the same suit towards other groups of the society. As a result, an atmosphere of tension is created. Because of certain privileges, it is quite obvious that the society gets inflicted with restlessness.
