Communalism, the divisive force that fosters animosity among different religious or ethnic communities, often finds its roots in either power struggles or relative deprivation. The pursuit of power can manifest itself in the form of political leaders manipulating communal sentiments to consolidate their authority. Illustratively, the partition of India in 1947 witnessed the tragic consequences of communalism fueled by the political power struggle between Hindus and Muslims. Additionally, relative deprivation, stemming from economic disparities or perceived injustices, can also ignite communal tensions. A poignant example is the ethnic conflicts in the Balkans during the 1990s, where economic disparity and historical grievances fueled communal strife. In both instances, communalism emerged as a tool for certain groups to assert dominance or address perceived injustices, underscoring the intertwined relationship between power dynamics and relative deprivation in the genesis of communal tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
