Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Examines how communalism, based on religious antagonism, challenges India’s secular ethos. The Constitution declares India secular, ensuring religious freedom while disallowing a state religion. However, communal tensions erupt periodically, driven by identity politics, historical grievances, and extremist factions. Supreme Court judgments clarify that secularism means equal respect for all faiths, with the state adopting a neutral stand. Constitutional provisions like freedom of religion, minority rights, and anti-discrimination laws combat communal divisions. Still, the political misuse of religious sentiments for vote banks remains a concern. Strengthening constitutional values—mutual tolerance and inclusive development—remains essential to curb communal flare-ups.
