Answers
Communal Politics and caste politics has always been the essential ingredient of Indian political infrastructure. The foundations of all the major political parties are laid on the politics of caste and community. They cannot survive without targeting the caste votes and communal propagandas. This has so much inculcated in the entire system of politics that everything from the grass root level to the upper most level of hierarchy is being dominated by caste and community.
The politics of communalism laid the foundation stone of partitioning of India (Hindustan) into India and Pakistan as two different countries with different set of communal population. The two major political parties of India are Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) and Indian National Congress. Both of them are real time players of caste politics. The BJP target Hindu votes on the name of 'Hindutva 'where as Congress targets Muslim votes on the name of 'Hindu Muslim Bhai Bhai'. This has seen almost in every Indian state.
