Mass Communcation
September 2022
Among all the socio-cultural problems faced by India, communalism has arguably been one of the biggest. The most vicious and extreme form of communalism is the conflicts and violence between the religious communities; most commonly the two largest religious communities of India, viz, the Hindus and the Muslims. It has not just resulted in the loss of life and property but was also the root cause behind the partition of the country in 1947.

This research paper focuses on these causes and also on the remedies taken by the government to eradicate them.
