Communal riots occur due to socio-cultural differences between communities in India. Contributing factors include a gap between expectations and achievement due to economic, social, or political changes, as well as inequality based on religion or caste. Major communal riots in India's history include those in Calcutta (1946), during Partition (1947), the Delhi Sikh massacre (1984), Bhagalpur (1989), Hyderabad (1990), Kashmir (1990), Ayodhya (1992), Bombay (1993), and Gujarat (2002).

What is Communalism?
It is basically an ideology which consists of three elements:-
• A belief that people who follow the same religion have common secular interests i.e. they have same political, economic and social interests. So, here socio- political communalities arises.
• A notion that, in a multi-religious society like India, these common secular interests of one religion are dissimilar and divergent from the interests of the follower of another religion.
• The interests of the follower of the different religion or of different ‘communities’ are seen to be completely incompatible, antagonist and hostile.
Communalism is political trade in religion. It is an ideology on which communal politics is based. And communal violence are conjectural consequences of communal ideology.
Communalism is the greatest threat to India's existence and need to be handled with care
Communal riots are an indicator of socio-cultural difference existing between the communities
An event is identified as a communal riot if:
1) There is a violence.
2) Two or more communally different groups confront each other or members of the group at some point during the violence.
Communal violence involves people belonging to two different religious or ethnic communities mobilized against each other and carrying the feelings of hostility, emotional fury, exploitation, social discrimination and social neglect. The high degree of cohesion in one community against another is built around tension and polarization. The targets of attack are the members of the ‘enemy’ community. Generally, there is no leadership in communal riots which could effectively control and contain the riot situation. It could thus be said that communal violence is based mainly on hatred, enmity and revenge.
Communalism is literally understood as the product the societal state, where groups are sorted according to their desires, want to develop its ideology.link https://www.slideshare.net/brursociology/communalism-118635710

Films and media are great tools for campaigners; however, the question is how to harness the inspiration that people feel as they leave the cinema and build community to respond to these issues?

James gander book philosophical diversions where are we goinggander01
Highlights of a book from award-winning author James Gander attack the coming unprecedented changes in population size, mobility, worldwide communications, cultural interactions, and unsustainable economic and environmental challenges, and shares observations that will promote solutions.
With the coming of the new millenuim, the entire world has entered the globalized age, which is characterized by the US global power leading the world after the fall of the ex- USSR. The emergence of globaization rose several questions about the role of the US: Is it acting in favor preserving the world cultures, or trying to model the world according to the US Western and liberal values? This; in fact, has paved the way to rise of such theories, expliaing that the US has enetered a new phase of conflict which is basically cutural in order to survive and promote its cultural values.

3. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS
• When a gap between expectation and
achievement develops due to change in
economic, social and political situations
or psychological reasons, deprivation
sets in at individual and/or group levels.
• When inequality is done with the
individual or the group on the basis of
religion or caste.

8. ROLE OF GOVERNMENT
• During communal violence armed
forces should be called to control
the situation and curfew should be
done to control the situation.
• Also they should provide help to
injured
Page 8
9. REMEDIES
• To assess the role of various groups, parties,
administration and police a commission of
impartial citizens should be appointed and their
findings considered as an indictment and
criminal actions should be taken against those
responsible for the perpetration of violence
• Peace marches, campaign to awaken common
sense may have symbolic value but we must
strive to remove the basic causes responsible
for the communal disharmony.
• The secular, rational and scientific outlook and
equal inculcate humanist values and a common
sense of citizenship in the people
Page 9
10. FUTURE SCENARIO
• Looking at the factors and forces responsible for
the riots and every riot becoming more
organized, widespread, and use of more and
more lethal weapons it can be assumed that
soon it would take the shape of pitched battles,
like a civil war.
• If we want to save our nation from such a fate a
concerted economic, political and socio-cultural
program should be initiated and followed
vigorously.
