There's a lot difference between these two words which most of us misinterpret for being the same either,or some of us make others believe that both the words mean the same.

It's a tough concept to understand as the right meaning can never be understood unless we watch from the right sources. Communism is a political ideology which expects people to follow them out of their ideologies just like every other political party does.

While,communalism can be marked as the aftermath to the fact if not just communist,be it any other political party,if we do not agree on following the terms and principles of their religious or political beliefs,the fuss and the riots made out of it is what is called communalism.

There is a reason why I chose this topic as the subject of matter. Most people of all I have met have their own religio-political ideology and I respect that. But the fact that they interfere in mine just bothers me.

By now most of the readers may have found me a communist,well I need not comment on it because I expect criticism as all of you can see in my writings. Maybe I am,or not but I wouldn't consider it to be much of an intellectual move of disclosing my political beliefs. But in the past few years we came across a lot of communal violence and we saw people get slaughtered for their religion mainly. This religion based politics is what once even Adolf Hitler preached and we all know that it didn't go well. Most of the major wars in the history were fought for religion. It's just pointless because interfering in someone else's ideology is simply not how a secular nation works.

Religion and politics are like two different dishes brought together,which might taste very good together but wouldn't be a healthy combination and may lead to other long term effects. But ofcourse as we are human beings we don't mind in our little bit deterioated health for a burger cause we young people believe in fatality. Fatality is a great concept indeed. But giving everything away towards fate including your birth rights might be fatal just because that's where the country is leading to.

I think that all of this misinterpretation
took place just because of getting over-hooked to social media. People never wanted the right news. They wanted elements that would start ado against their rivals. Look here am using the word rival, now see that's how news from social media affects us. This social media has started a new agenda of defaming other parties and people using terms that embark this concept of rivalry on others. Now the time has come when we even have party based news channels and it is clearly visible and we should not let that happen as in this country media has always been the fourth pillar and there is no government without criticism.

This was my definition of communism and communalism and as I said the definition ofthese words change for each person due to the religio-political propogandas used by every other party. To change that we have only one way and that is to rely more on news channels over social media because in social media due to this anger and pain incited upon us by them,we never go off to check for the right news or the meaning of the words that they've used. Meanwhile,in news channels eventhough that we know most of them are biased atleast the meanings of certain words wouldn't be tampered.
