Question

Splitting the whole national community on the basis of religion and having a strong feeling that their group identities and interests are opposed to each other is known as ____________.

• A. Communalism
• B. Casteism
• C. Regionalism
• D. Corruption

Answer 1

The correct option is A Communalism

• Communalism refers to a government or system where communes act as independent states. The nation that the states form is a federation of those states.
  
• Communal often refers to groups or people that focus on the benefits of their community, rather than society as a whole. Communes, for instance, will often provide food and resources only to those people who are part of the group. On the other hand, a democracy provides support and resources to all people.
  
• Even in today's society, communes still exist. While they are difficult to come by compared to in the past, they are appealing because people feel like they make a bigger impact on the community.
