Main Body

Communalism gains strength from economic deprivation.

For eg:- Muslim peasants organized Moplah revolt against the rich Hindu landlords in 1917

Also, according to Sachar Committee report, Muslims are a backward community and are economically deprived. This deprivation strengthen the communal feelings due to feelings of discontent due to lack of good educational opportunities and lack of jobs.

Social exclusion results in stirring of communalism. When Muslims are excluded from certain events or are lynched due to consumption of beef or are forced to chant 'Jai Shree Ram' that result in their alienation and give rise to communal feelings.

Thus, the nation needs to reduce the economic deprivation of minorities and foster feeling of harmony to nip the root of communalism in the bud.
