Communalism and Separatism in India

An Analysis

Anurag Pandey

University of Delhi, India, anuragspandey{at}yahoo.co.in

Due to the rise and growth of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) with its sister organizations in Indian politics, the existence of the Muslim political elite's communal attitude, acceptance of liberalized economic policy by India and the rise in mutual suspicion and hostile attitude among both Muslims and Hindus, India may witness a violent civil war between Hindus and Muslims in the future. The clashing political and economic interests and confronting attitude from both sides may lead them to be two different nations again. The spectre of Two Nations Theory may emerge once again.

Key Words: civil war • communalism • political elites • religion • separatism
