do you agree with iqbals ideas of communalism? can you define comminslism
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Communalism is based on the idea that religion is the principal basis of social community. All the followers of one religion belong to one community and their basic interests are the same.People of different religions cannot belong to the same social group.
This is what Iqbal is saying that Muslims are different from Hindus, they cannot have same fundamental interests. They cannot be bound together as one nation. One will dominate the other, if it happens to be in majority (in this case Hindus); in the end there would be two nations. Iqbal is trying to propagate the “Two Nation Theory”.
I do not agree with it as people of one religion do not have the same interests and ambitions.We have seen this in the case of Ireland, where in spite of being a Christian country, there was deep religious division between the Catholics and the Protestants.
Religion should never be seen as the basis of a nation. No religion should try to dominate others. Communalism is a divisive force which destroys the unity and peace of a nation. We have seen how Yugoslavia has been divided into six small nations because of religious differences.
Answer:
No, I do not agree with Iqbal's idea of communalism. He believed that it is a quest for a community to develop on its own lines. He believed that religion is the basis on which thinking and behavior are based. He fell that religion gives persons a common culture and literature. He believed in the concept that Hindus and Muslims should exist as separate entities in India. This line of thinking encouraged separatism and ultimately led to the partition of the country. We understand communalism now-a-days as having a negative connotation, i.e., it is understood as a conflict between people of different religions, which also can lead to violence between them. It has now become politics under the guise of religious conflict for extracting favors or favorable treatment by the government.
