Communalism (South Asia)This article deals with the use of the word communalism as a force 'separating different communities based on some form of racism. See the article communalism for the use of the word to denote a force uniting' people into a community, as it is used outside of South Asia.
Communalism is used in South Asia to denote attempts to promote ethnic stereotypes between groups of people identified as different communities and to stimulate violence between those groups. In the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century, it is commonly associated with the Sangh Parivar. An example of deaths allegedly caused by communalism was the killings of at least two thousand people, with strong motivations based on religious identity, in the 2002 Gujarat violence.
