Solution

The correct option is D S1: False; S2: True.
Communalism results in people believing that followers of a particular religion belong to one community. It is believed that the fundamental interests are same, which can lead to communities being formed on the basis of religion and people of different religion cannot coexist in the same community. In India, communities are not formed based on religious interests, every community is made up of people from different religion, caste and sex.
