Mention any three forms in which communalism is expressed in politics. Describe the solution provided by the Constitution framers of India to meet this challenge? .
Answers
hope this answer may help you
Communalism can take various forms in politics:
i. The routinely beliefs involve religious prejudices, stereotypes of religious communities
and belief in the superiority of one’s religion over other religions.
ii. A communal mind often leads to a quest for political dominance of one’s own religious
community.
iii. For those belonging to majority community, this takes the form of majoritarian
dominance. For those belonging to the minority community, it can take the form of a desire
to form a separate political unit.
The makers of our Constitution were aware of this challenge. That is why they chose
the model of a secular state. This choice was reflected in several constitutional
provisions like-
1)
. There is no official religion for the Indian state.
2) The Constitution provides to all individuals and communities freedom to profess, practice
and propagate any religion, or not to follow any.
3) At the same time, the Constitution allows the state to intervene in the matters of religion
