Both the government and private bodies are very much concerned with the growing menace of communalism. To overcome this problem various remedial steps are suggested.
These steps can be analyzed as follows:
1. Since poverty encourages the forces of communalism, all efforts should be taken for the economic development of the people.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
2. Communalism is a psychological disorder or mental malady. For the removal of communal hatred, proper socialization of children is necessary. Common living and common share of life should be encouraged by the families, schools, social activists etc. The educational system must be designed systematically for checking communalism. For this purpose, special books, booklets, pamphlets, articles should be published to do the needful in this direction.
3. Proper use of mass media both print and electronics, should be made to spread the message of religious tolerance, secularism, and common brotherhood. In case there is a communal riot, the victims should not be identified either as Hindus, Muslims or Sikhs.
4. A ban should be imposed on all communal organisations and communal political parties. The Election Commission should prohibit all sorts of electoral campaign on communal line. The political parties should have a code of conduct not to indulge in communal activities.
5. The Committee on National Integration has suggested some measures in 1969 regarding the manner of celebrating festivals e.g. joint celebration of community festivals, observation of restraint by the Hindus in taking out processions before the mosques and in Muslim localities, cultivating a sense of respect of religious beliefs and prevention of acts of desecration of idols or violation of customs observed by others.
