Religion is used in politics in exclusive and partisan terms. This manner of using religion in politics is communal politics. The communal problem becomes acute when : • Religion is seen as the basis of the nation. • When one religion and its followers are discriminated against another. • When people start believing that beliefs of one religion are superior to those of other religions. • When the demands of one religious group are formed in opposition to another. • When the state power is used to establish the domination of one religious group over the rest.
