Komunalisme (Asia Selatan)

Komunalisme digunakan di Asia Selatan untuk menyebut upaya membangun identitas agama atau etnis, yang menyiratkan perpecahan antar orang yang diidentifikasikan sebagai komunitas berbeda, dan untuk menimbulkan kekerasan komunal antar kelompok tersebut.^[1] Hal ini bermula dari sejarah, perbedaan keyakinan, dan ketegangan antar komunitas.^[2]

Istilah komunalisme dipakai oleh otoritas kolonial Inggris saat mereka memerangi kekerasan antar agama, etnis dan kelompok berbeda di koloni-koloninya, terutama Afrika dan Asia Selatan, pada awal abad ke-20.^[3][4][5]

Komunalisme bukanlah hal yang unik di Asia Selatan. Hal tersebut ditemukan di Afrika,^[6][7] Amerika,^[8][9] Asia,^[10][11] Eropa^[12] dan Australia.^[13]

Komunalisme adalah sebuah masalah sosial menonjol di Bangladesh, India, Pakistan dan Sri Lanka.^[2]
