Detailed Solution

People belonging to different religions can live together happily as equal citizens and followers of a particular religion constitute one community is not true with respect to communal politics.
People who belong to the ideology of communalism insist on the supremacy of one religion above another, as well as their own. In certain instances, this has resulted in the rise of religious fundamentalism and separatist movements. The concept of communal politics is predicated on the assumption that religion is the one and only valid foundation upon which a community may be established. The most common kind of communism is the political mobilization and appeasement of a group based on their religious beliefs. This is done as a direct tactic to broaden or solidify their base of support among voters. In a culture when one religion is seen to be superior to another, this is referred to as communal politics.
