Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
Communalism becomes more acute when religion is expressed in politics in exclusive and partisan terms, when one religion and its tollowers are pitted against another. This happens when beliefs of one religion are presented as superior to those of other religions, when the demands of ane religious group are formed in opposition to another and when state power is used to establish domination of one religious group over the rest. This manner of using religion in polatics is communal politics.
Communal politics is based on the idea that religion is the principal basis of social community. Communalism involves thinking along the following lines. The followers of a particular religion must belong to one community. Their fundamental interests are the same. Any difference that they may have is irrelevant of trivial tor community life. It also follows that people who follow different religions cannot belong to the same social community. It the followers of different, religion have some commonalities these are superticial and immaterial. Their interests are bound to be different and involve a conflict. Is its extreme form communalism leads to the belief that people belonging to difterent religions cannot tive as equal citizens within one natidn. Either, one of them has to dominate the rest or they have to form difterent nations.
This belief is fundamentally flawed. People of one religion do not have the same interests and aspirations in every context. Everyone has several other roles, positions and identities. There are many voices inside every community. All these voices have a right to be heard.
Therefore any attempt to bring all followers of one religion together in context other than retigion is bound to suppress many voices within that community.
(i) When does communalism happen in our society?
(ii) Infer what will happen if the followers of different religions have some commonalities?
(iii) How does communal politics suppress many voices within same community?
