No, I
do not agree with Iqbal's idea of communalism. He believed that it is a quest for
a community to develop on its own lines.
He believed that religion is the basis on which thinking and behaviour
are based. He felt that
religion gives persons a common culture and literature. He
believed in the concept that Hindus and Muslims should exist as separate entities
in India. This line of thinking encouraged separatism and ultimately led to the
partition of the country.
We understand communalism now-a-days as having a negative
connotation i.e., it is understood as conflict between people of different
religions, which also can lead to violence between them. It has now become politics
under the guise of religious conflict for extracting favours or favourable treatment
by the government.
