Communalism as an ideology and a social phenomena believes in the following:
• People following one religion should be in one community and their interests should also be the same.
• People following different religion cannot belong to the same community.
• If they have any differences then it will be insignificant for the community life.
• If the followers of the different religion share some common thoughts than it will be considered as superficial. It means their interest should remain different and involve the difference in opinions and conflicts.
Thus, communalism has this belief that people of a different religion cannot live together in one single nation as equal citizens. The only solution is that they could live in a different nation or one could dominate others. This is an incorrect belief as this cannot be possible that people of one religion would have the same opinion and aspirations in every context. Everyone plays different roles, have different positions and identities. Every individual in the community has the right to say and they deserve to be heard. So of the attempt was made to bring people together on the basis of a different context than religion than many voices within the community will get suppressed.
