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. The problem arises when followers of one religion are seen as superior to others, called inferiors when these minority followers are pitted against the majority. 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.
