Question

Define communal politics and why is this idea fundamentally flawed?
Please i need it as soon as possible...

Answer 1

Most of these beliefs are fundamentally not true. People of one religion do not have the same interests and aspirations in most of the contexts. Every individual has his/her own choices, roles, positions and identities. There are many voices inside every community. All these voices have a right to be heard. Therefore, any attempt to bring all followers of one religion together in contexts other than religion is bound to suppress many voices within that community.

1 Communal politics is based on the idea that the religion is the principal basis of social community. The communalism involves following ideas.
1) The followers of a particular religion must belong to one community.
2) Their fundamental interests should be the same and any difference that they may have is irrelevant for communal life.
3) It also follows that people who follow different religions cannot belong to the same social community. If the followers of different religions have some common facts, then these are superficial and immaterial. Their interests are bound to be different and involve a conflict.
