Speech on Communalism in India!

Communalism was mainly the result of the peculiar development of the Indian social economy under British rule, of the uneven economic and cultural development of different communities, and of the action of the strategy both of the British government and the vested interests within those communities.

The British thrived on communal divisions in India. They introduced the institutions of ‘communal award’, ‘communal electorate’, ‘and communal representa­tion’ and also engineered ‘communal troubles’ and ensured that such troubles escalated.

These are the observations made by A.R. Desai (1976) and some other scholars. The national movement leaders had to fight the British on the one hand, and the forces which divided the country, on the other. The British rulers themselves were a big force that sponsored communal troubles in India, in accordance with their policy of “divide and rule”.

The leaders of the Indian National Congress, under its programme of the Non-Cooperation Movement, strived for a united action of the Hindu and Muslim communities. However, some among the Hindus and some among the Muslims (who adhered to the ideology of the Hindu Mahasabha and the Muslim League, respectively) indulged in spreading communal hatred in their respective communities against each other.

Communal clashes occurred at various places in 1924-25. Since communalism proved to be a cancer to India’s struggle for independence, the national leaders decided to curb it effectively. The Indian national leaders realised that religious feelings and sentiments were being exploited not only by the British rulers but also by the reactionary elements within these two communities.

They, therefore, assured the people that religion and particular beliefs and practices of the two commu­nities would be respected, and religion would not be allowed to become an instrument of expression of political and economic expectations and aspirations.
