Answer:
The
use of religion in politics, where one religion is shown as superior to other
religions is called communal politics. Here, one religious group is against the
other religious group and the demands of one religious group are against the
demands of the other religious group.
Communal politics is based on the idea that religion is the only basis of
forming a community. It believes that followers of one religion belong to the
same community. Their interests, ideas and opinions are the same. It also
follows that people belonging to different religions cannot be a part of the
same community. Their ideas and demands are bound to be different.
In an extreme case of communalism, it follows that people
from different religions are not equal citizens and cannot live together within
one nation, which leads to partition of that country.
