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.
