Communal harmony refers to amity between religious communities in a country without tension or friction. In multicultural India, communal harmony is essential for internal peace and national progress. Communal issues are sensitive and cannot be ignored given India's cultural heritage and secular ideals. Some famous temples in Telangana include the Bhadrakali Temple in Warangal, Yadagirigutta Temple, and Thousand Pillar Temple. India has long been an example of peaceful coexistence between religions, though tensions have arisen after independence. To promote communal harmony, institutions like Kendriya Vidyalaya celebrate a Communal Harmony Week with awareness events.

7. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
 India has set an important example of
communal harmony to this world. India is
the only country of the world where
people of all religion and beliefs have
been living peacefully for a long time. It is
important to note that even during the
reign of British, there was no tension
among the various religious people.

8. India, a multi-religious, multilingual and multi-
racial country, has always ‘enjoyed the
essential unity of culture amidst diversities that
kept her people united. After independence,
narrow religious, regional and communal
feelings attracted the country. The apparently
mindless communal tensions and bloody riots
that take place occasionally create a sense of
mistrust among the two principal religious
communities involved in clashes. The country
pays a heavy price for such disturbances
through loss of life and property.

9.  After seeing the importance of communal
harmony.
 Some instituitions like Kendriya Vidyalaya
Sangathan have decided to celebrate-
 COMMUNAL HARMONY WEEK and give
awareness to all its members.
 In connection with this school has conducted
many events like-stage shows and
rallies.,etc.
