Question

what does communalism denotes between different religious groups

Answer 1

hey there,

Communalism between different religious groups means that they belong to the same religion but their concepts and belief differ. This is also called sects of the same religion.

For example in Islam, people are divided into different religious communities. Their basic belief is the same but some of their beliefs are different from each other along with some of the religious practices. The same ones join and together form a community.

The concept of communalism was first seen in the African communities and is considered as a historical concept.

Thanks for asking.
