Write 4 reason for spread of communalism.

Some of the major causes of communalism in India are as follows:
(1) A Legacy of Past
(2) Presence of Communal Parties
(3) Isolation of Muslims
(4) Poverty
(5) Hindu Chauvinism
(6) The Social Cause
(7) Communalization of Politics
(8) Cross-Border Factors
(9) Failure of Government.

Below some points are explained : 

1. Isolation of Indian Muslims : Indian Muslims have developed a tendency of isolationism.  They mainly remain aloof from the mainstream politics of the country. Most of them are not interested to take part in the secular-nationalistic politics of the country. THe main reason for communal tensions in the society is because of this psychological separation that people have in mind.

2.Hindu Chauvinism : 

The growth in the chauvinistic attitudes of Hindu have further strengthened the communal tensions in India. Religious groups like Shiv Sena, Hindu Mahasabha, Viswa Hindu Parisad often pressurize the government to take steps that are in favour to the interest of Hindus. Also, they consider each Muslim as pro-Pakistani and anti-national.They also oppose the protection policies for the minorities.
