Communalism
a few attendees who could be present signed the day’s agenda.
These signatures were later allegedly misused for another resolution – this one, to “boycott” Muslim traders who would soon be gathering in the village for the grand annual Madhi fair at the ancient Kanifnath shrine...
Many individuals whose signatures appeared on the resolution have now accused Markad of using their signatures without their knowledge. But a few claim that they were aware of the move and support the resolution.
SC judge: Divisive rhetoric based on religion big challenge for constitutional ideal of fraternity https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/ahmedabad/sc-judge-divisive-rhetoric-based-on-religion-big-challenge-for-constitutional-ideal-of-fraternity-9749377/
Identity politics, while sometimes empowering marginalised groups, can become harmful when it focuses solely on narrow group interests at the expense of common good, often resulting in “exclusion, discrimination, and conflict,” he said.
“Divisive rhetoric creates mistrust among communities, leading to the spread of stereotypes and misunderstandings. These tensions can escalate into social unrest. Moreover, when political leaders use social identities for electoral gains, it deepens these divisions, making it harder to build a collective sense of belonging,” the judge added.
Justice Mishra also called for a “multi-faceted approach” to promote fraternity effectively, involving collaborative efforts of lawmakers, civil society and technology. “Laws should be crafted not just to protect rights but to ensure social cohesion and address systemic inequalities. By prioritising these values, the legal framework of the nation can provide the foundation for a society built on fraternity,” he said.
