how does our constitution promote communal harmony
Answers
Answer:
Some suggestions for promoting Communal Harmony:
Promoting the spirit of the Preamble of Indian Constitution: This reflects the spirit of national integration of our national leaders who fought against British empire, culminating in India becoming free in 1947.
Political & Administrative measures: Each ethnic, tribal, religious and linguistic group should have freedom to protect their own culture and freedom, as also envisaged by the Constitution. At the same time, there is an urgent need to ban all communal parties and communal organisations by which the danger of communalism can be made less serious.
Involve NGOs as well as social, cultural and educational institutions in promoting National Integration.
Set up an Interfaith Dialogue Committee: This will help promote understanding between different religions.
Promote Moral Education in Education institutions: This should include the basic teachings of all religions.
Exhort people to celebrate festivals of different religion together.
Organise exhibitions highlighting unity in diversity in the country.
Organise film festivals and screen films that depict our country’s rich diverse culture, and appreciation of this diversity.
Promote intercaste & interreligious marriages: Dr B.R. Ambedkar was of the opinion that the most effective way to tackle with the problem of casteism is to promote intercaste marriage. Unfortunately, our society is moving in the opposite direction, and young couples are being killed for marrying across religion and caste. The government should openly promote inter-caste and inter-religious marriages, and publicly honour couples who have such marriages.
Set up of Mohalla committees to promote peace communal harmony.
