Description
"Social Issue: Communalism and Secularism in the Indian Scenario" addresses the persistent challenges of communalism and secularism within the context of India’s diverse society. The book highlights the deep-rooted nature of communalism, where religious identity often dictates social relations, politics, and conflicts. It explores how communal tensions have influenced major historical events, including the Partition of India, and continue to affect national harmony today. The book also critically evaluates the concept of secularism in India, where the state is constitutionally committed to neutrality in religious matters, yet faces challenges in ensuring equal treatment for all communities. By examining the dynamic relationship between these two forces, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of India’s struggle to maintain social cohesion, respect for diversity, and the democratic values enshrined in its Constitution. It offers insights for policymakers, scholars, and citizens seeking solutions to these enduring issues.
