This article deals with the use of the word communalism in South Asia, as a name for a
force separating different communities based on some form of social or sectarian discrimination. See the
article communalism for the use of the word to denote a force uniting people into a community as well as
a libertarian socialist political ideology, as it is used in other parts of the world where English is a major
language.
Political parties are generally considered to play an important role in stimulating, supporting and/or
suppressing communalism.
