    Bipan Chandra's book on communalism argues that communalism starts with organizing people into distinct religious communities for both religious and secular purposes like economics, politics, culture and society. It claims that Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians are seen as homogeneous groups not just for religious worship but also for non-religious activities because they follow the same religion. As a result, religious communities are viewed as both religious and political communities.

    WHO IS THREATENED BY BIPAN

    CHANDRAS BOOK ON
    COMMUNALISM?

    Communalism starts with the belief


    that in India people can be
    organized and grouped together for
    secular, that is, economic and
    political as also social and cultural purposes, only around their religious
    identities. In other words, [that] Hindus or Muslims or Sikhs or Christians
    form distinct communities or homogeneous groups not only for religious
    purposes but also for secular purposes, because they follow the same
    religion. They form not only religious but also political communities.
    (Bipan Chandra, Communalism: A Primer, 2004, p.7)
