What do you mean by Communal Politics?

In politics, religion is often expressed as exclusive and as a supporter of the party. The problem arises when one religion was set against another. All this happens when

• Beliefs of one religion were made superior against the other religions.

• The demands of one religion were given preference over another one.

• State power was used to impose the authority of one religious group over the remaining one.

Thus, the way religion was used in politics is termed as ‘Communal Politics’.
