Summary, etc. This volume analyses the essential<br/>features of communalism and the<br/>reasons for its growth in modern<br/>India. The author seeks to<br/>understand and interpret, and<br/>expose, communalism for what<br/>it is. He further seeks to determine<br/>its roots and social functions during<br/>the phase of its birth and growth in<br/>the colonial period and why it<br/>resulted in the partition of the<br/>country. In this process, against<br/>the backdrop of the freedom<br/>movement, the volume brings to<br/>light those aspects of India's social,<br/>economic, political and cultural<br/>life which were responsible for the<br/>growth of communalism. Based on<br/>wide-ranging scholarship, the study<br/>also examines the role of British<br/>imperial policy in fostering<br/>communalism, which ultimately<br/>attained uncontrollable, monstrous<br/>proportions.<br/>The author firmly rejects the<br/>prevalent notion that communalism<br/>was the logical and inevitable<br/>product of Indian historical<br/>development. On the other hand, he<br/>emphasises that communalism was<br/>not a remnant of the past nor was<br/>it a historical accident. He contends<br/>that it was a modern social and<br/>political phenomenon that could<br/>have been controlled and even<br/>eradicated if certain social, political<br/>and ideological conditions had<br/>been met.<br/>This volume should prove to be of<br/>great value to those involved in<br/>understanding and combating<br/>communalism, as well as the related<br/>phenomena of casteism, regionalism<br/>and linguism.
