Detailed Solution

The followers of a particular religion can belong to different communities is not a feature of communalism.
The problem becomes more acute when religion is expressed in political and partisan terms. Communism views religion as the basis of a nation wherein there cannot be followers of other communities; there must be followers of a particular community.

Communalism believes that followers of other communities cannot exist in the same social community because they are bound to have different opinions, values, and beliefs, leading to conflicts.
